I spoke to representatives from Mbrace today concerning the availability of Apple CarPlay and the Mbrace remote starter capability on the 2016 GLA250 4MATIC. Unfortunately, not all 2016 models will have the capability to access these options unless the specific product code was ordered for each option. These options are not available moving forward via a software upgrade. The options are hardware specific and must have the option code for the Multimedia package 32C, which includes the 14U smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay. The Mbrace remote start capability from the smartphone app will populate on the Mbrace smartphone app providing the option has been properly ordered with the vehicle. There are dealer specific modifications for remote start; however, not capable of being accessed through the Mbrace application. It would have been nice to have a planned path forward to these options through a software upgrade...
