Android Auto

Has anyone been able to get their dealership to add Android Auto to their 2017 SL? If so, can you provide your dealership and a POC?

I recently purchased an early 2017 SL that has Apple CarPlay but not AA. I haven’t been able to find a local dealer that says they can update the SW to add it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

As best I recall from another thread, it was user @fun33 who got as far as having the car at the dealer and the dealer trying to get the updated code package from Germany to upload it to the COMAND unit. But I don't think we ever heard the outcome.
