MBUX - Amazon Music
It appears that MBUX will be supporting Amazon Music this year. Does anyone know if this will be available to current 2020 GLE’s?
Music streaming from Amazon, too
In the course of 2020, Mercedes-Benz will also be integrating the music streaming service Amazon Music into the new SUV models. If the customer has an Amazon Music account they can transfer their music to the vehicle via the Mercedes me "Online Music" service. Individual songs, playlists or music of the desired genre can be played via touch or voice input. Amazon Prime members have two million songs to choose from, with 50 million for "Amazon Music Unlimited". The music streaming service TIDAL will continue to be available.

If you wait for MBUX to connect directly, you will have to add another Cell Service provider to get wireless to MBUX, which may or may not be advantageous. Unless I am missing something here, which is indeed a possibility.

You can already do that with a USB or Bluetooth connection from your phone, or use Android Auto/ Apple Carplay through MBUX. I do that now, including my Tidal tunes.

Exactly, I run Spotify thru Bluetooth. Why wait , seems stupid. You don’t need MBUX

Yeah, I know that, I just don’t like to stream through my phone. I have the built-in hotspot through AT&T activated (It’s only $15/mo. unlimited data) so I don’t that would be a big deal.

I guess I am having knee-jerk reactions to all the Subscriptions that are being thrust upon us in our daily lives. Cell, Cable, Cable-cutting, Netflix, Disney+, Google+, Quicken, MSFT 365, Roon, Qdoba - they all mount up.
In this case, it's the AT&T sub, plus TIDAL, Amazon Music, Spotify Premium, Pandora Premium.
BTW I get a Veteran discount with Tidal.

The way I'm able to play my various Amazon Music Playlists is by plugging my phone in, then Android Auto pops up with a big menu, and Amazon Music is one of the available choices. That's probably not what you're referring to, though--is it?

From what I can hear, the quality is not too bad but will of course be dependent on the internet signal in the car (I pay for the Vodaphone Internet in the Car service). I am no expert though but appears to me to be fine and compares favourably to the other inputs to MUBX. I also tried Tidal, which was better quality, but did take a lot of data to use.
