I just gave up.

It had gone way past it's sell be date, and had done so when it was launched. Mercedes are not much better with their OEM nav systems that do not have speed camera's (because they are illegal in Germany) struggles to download music, when you want it to etc.

They should just sell the car with a tablet.
Not the OEM version.

A Grom or Mediabridge might be something to consider. I had a Mediabridge for many years that offered some of the more recent features. Not a difficult install and never had a problem with it. I also had the Sirius option for the Mediabridge
