I understand at launch of the new E-Class the Apple Carplay integration was quite sandboxed

i.e. You could either use Mercedes FM/DAB radio and Navigation OR Apple maps and iRadio/apple music etc but you could not for example listen to podcasts or spotify or other audio on your phone whilst using Mercedes maps or equally listen to the FM/DAB radio whilst using Apple maps

You can do this for example in other Audi and VW group cars. I've not seen the BMW integration but i'm guessing you probably can

Has there been any updates from Mercedes to allow this to happen ? it does seem rather clunky/playing it too safe to only be allowed to use one environment OR the other

Thanks
