New 2023 Mercedes A Class and CLA with NEW Facelift! Apple CarPlay is now fixed! What do you think?! Full In-Depth Review of the whole car is coming too, stay tuned!
Well.. point is that previous version of MBUX (1st generation) aka NTG6.0 is still sucks. I believe it is simple software problem... just getting rid of useless temperature information... it must be be fixed by update.
Thanks Ivan, I hope they bring the Car Play update to the current W177. It's a shame we still lose that tiny bit for the home screen but it's better than before.
10:35 it's funny that the display says that there are lights in the middle like in the 1st W177 models, but there actually aren't lights any more... so they really didn't put that much effort into that part of the software ... :/
I have a 2023 CLA not AMG and I have 2 questions 1. Will my apple car play ever be wireless? The wire is annoying and tacky for Mercedes. 2. Should I add navigation? What are some benefits or features? Thank you
Picked up a brand new CLA today. Pretty disappointed that the CarPlay experience is pretty dire. Especially as my C Class had a widescreen display and worked flawlessly with CarPlay.
@@InfernoCA Doesn’t take up the whole screen, just a small square in the middle of it. I’ve been using the built in MBUX system ever since as that’s a far better experience.
I have a Mercedes CLA 250 2023, but the Apple CarPlay I have is not full screen. Can you give me advice on what I should do to make it like this video?
@@IvanSensei What does your polish dealer says :D you are always in some mercedes dealership, i would like to know so i can tell them i know its possible. I am from Croatia.
Hi hope you are well. I’ve just bought a 73 plate Cla but it comes with the previous gen steering wheel. Do you know if CarPlay will full screen? Thanks
It seems like they removed some ambient lights. Also on my 2022 car headrest and center console on the side. Its a bit of a shame they removed this after 2021…
Usually what is in certain package varies based on the country. Make sure to check your local packages or ask salesman about it. Here you need to get it as optional extra "Smartphone integration" and it costs 360€, it's not a part of any package. So be sure to check it for sure
Hi Ivan, great vid as always, very good explanations..... i have just ordered the cla 220d prem, i am getting a date of late aug, will this be the facelift model? I am UK
Thank you! I would say 99,99% you are getting facelift because by that time production of the facelift should already start. But your salesman will know more.
@@pavvel9884 the semi official reason is that pre-facelift models had both 7 and 10 inch screens, so they had to adapt to both of them; although I don't think it is impossible to code it so that it knows the available real estate
@@IvanSensei Portugal. You buy packs of equipment. But i dont see all the options in the packs on their site. Like the ventilated seats you mentioned. Didnt know they existed
This mbux system is known as ntg7 2019-2023 models will have ntg6 unless Mercedes install it as a new system on the car during a service idm don’t think they’ll do an update for it which is shit cause I have a 2022 cla 250 and it annoys me that Apple car play using full screen all they wud need to do is change the aspect ratio instead of a full os update and change the temp to the bezel on the left as it is on this car or have it overlay Apple car play
@Ivan Sensei Gauges look ever so slightly different with the hybrid and you have more driving modes. Speaking of which, how are you now supposed to change the driving modes if the toggle switch from the center console is gone? How do you change the music track now without the touchpad shortcut?

Nice but short review :(. Need longer review from you. Is it likely to come out soon?
Review of the whole car is coming soon! Thanks!

Thanks for watching
Is an update Apple CarPlay planned for the current w177 or not? 😍
@@jeremydekleyn8341 doubt it
@@jeremydekleyn8341 don’t see why they shouldn’t update. At least the CarPlay
Full screen CarPlay looks great.
Hi Ivan, As far as I can see CarPlay is full screen. Well, I have a 2022 GLA but the carplay is not fullscreen. what is the solution?
No solution and they could probably easily fix this with an update to mbux
The seats and the rear seats have no more ambient lightening ?
10:35 it's funny that the display says that there are lights in the middle like in the 1st W177 models, but there actually aren't lights any more... so they really didn't put that much effort into that part of the software ... :/
Have they fixed the CarPlay full screen on e class?
Do u have an answer now ?
@@abruzzi4980 not for 23 model year. But yes for 24 and later. I'm looking a get a way to upgrade my 23 model year to 24 version.

Can an 'older' A35 2020 be updated to the new version of MBUX? To us apple car play without cable
I don't have this information, go ahead and ask your dealer

Hey Ivan, thanks for the video. I have a GLB 250 ’22 model, when can I expect a full screen CarPlay for these models?
Ivan great video as always does the new mbux control dashcam via voice command thank you.
I have a 2022 gle53 coupe but the CarPlay is still tiny. How do I make it look like this?
how to change to full screen with my 2023 cla 250? any setting after connected to iphone?
I have a Mercedes CLA 250 2023, but the Apple CarPlay I have is not full screen. Can you give me advice on what I should do to make it like this video?
Can you show us how to widen the car play?
I have gle coupe 2022 and carplay not full screen how do i do it widescreen? 😢
Wondering if preface lift can update MBUX to this version of new.
Ask your dealer about it
@@IvanSensei What does your polish dealer says :D you are always in some mercedes dealership, i would like to know so i can tell them i know its possible. I am from Croatia.
Hello. How do you have carplay? Box or Mercedes Me? Thanks
No more ambient light in headrest and in rear feet? 😨 the previouse model had those!
Yeah i think they changed that since late 2020 models, its so sad tbh
Is this a software update for MBUS or iOS? Or is this a hardware update?
Hi can l know if this full screen we can do it in cla 2023 ?
Can an 'older' 2021 CLA be updated to the new version of MBUX?
I don't have this info, best would be to ask your dealer
@@IvanSensei I asked my dealer and he says it is not possible (because it is NTG 7.0)
Right, thanks for the info.
Can you please do a full run through of the new multimedia system?
I have the same car.... how can i update this software into my cla 35 amg 23
You can't do it in the pre facelift
I still prefer old system except full screen Carplay..
Are the backlights in the exterior mirrors and the glasses storage returned?
Can you show night ambiente lights and how looks multibeam lights in dark (animation)?
Do you think they’ll update c coupe sometime this year?
If you mean C-Class, my dealer told me they will not bring an update for the C-Coupe. Nothing is planned.
what is the ntg version? is it ntg7 or still ntg6?
This is the latest NTG 7, NTG 6 was in the pre-facelift
Hi hope you are well. I’ve just bought a 73 plate Cla but it comes with the previous gen steering wheel. Do you know if CarPlay will full screen? Thanks
Hi, from what I've heard this is not possible because it would require new NGT 7 infotainment
Nope.
do you habe to buy a whole new merc to be able to do this?
the fact it took them so long to get this right is CRAZY
CLS 2023 apple carplay without cable?
It seems like they removed some ambient lights. Also on my 2022 car headrest and center console on the side. Its a bit of a shame they removed this after 2021…
Ambient Light on the door panel is only available If you buy the aluminium door part on the side.
is there wireless airplay for 2023 CLA?
Wireless CarPlay? Yes
@@IvanSensei is it inlcuded in the premium package?

Thank you! I would say 99,99% you are getting facelift because by that time production of the facelift should already start. But your salesman will know more.
Why do you not have ambient lights on the right and left doors as you showed? Is this an extra option you have to buy??
You need to have any trim in the dash and doors, which costs like 200-300, so that's a must have in order to get ambient lights there
@@IvanSensei It's made stupid by Mercedes. Nobody is telling the customers this when they configure the car. You can't read it anywhere.
How did you get fullscreen carplay?!
Facelift versions get it from factory
My new cla 35 amg has a small car play with alot of space in the side. How can i fix this?
Not sure it's possible
I have a 23 cla 35 and my screen still small on my apple carplay
Can you get carplay maps in the instrument cluster like at bmw idrive 8?
Not aware of this
So CarPlay’s fixed! Thanks for checking, gotta get a new car 😂
Yes! Great news! 😀
There is zero reason they can’t bring this full screen CarPlay to existing models
@@pavvel9884 the semi official reason is that pre-facelift models had both 7 and 10 inch screens, so they had to adapt to both of them; although I don't think it is impossible to code it so that it knows the available real estate
Pity they have removed central touchpad:-(
Yeah, that really useful, er I mean useless, touchpad! That's why they removed it - hardly anybody bothered with it.
Can you check what's the mbux version?
It's the latest newest MBUX
Do they have heated steering wheel?
Yes, now possible to order as an optional extra with the facelift
@@IvanSensei thank you. Cant see it in their website
It's in the configurator.. which country?
@@IvanSensei Portugal. You buy packs of equipment. But i dont see all the options in the packs on their site. Like the ventilated seats you mentioned. Didnt know they existed
Is this new CarPlay wireless or not?
Wireless
no wireless?

Why did they remove the touchpad😭
Not sure about that
The new mbux looks also very cartoon like :0 i hope you can still choice as a owner
1st comment ❤
Thanks for watching!
I though the A class was discontinued?
Depends on the market. Some get new facelift. I believe it's discontinued in the US, with CLA being entry level model
yes in 2025, no more a class and cla shooting brake
Like the A-Class Amg much more than the Cla. 👍😎
Why?
I would rather go for the C-class than the Cla. 😁
Ok! But tell me, why do you like A more than CLA? 😀
CLA is better looking car though imo.
Hi, Im thinking of getting a Demo August 2022 A180 AMG styling Hatch, wonder if this update is already included ?
What do you think of the interieur ?
Love it!
Is ıt a180d
Interior looks the same, it does not matter which engine do you have.
@Ivan Sensei
Gauges look ever so slightly different with the hybrid and you have more driving modes. Speaking of which, how are you now supposed to change the driving modes if the toggle switch from the center console is gone? How do you change the music track now without the touchpad shortcut?
Dont touch the screen !!!! Noooo
