I've seen the ad and from what I have seen I'm not so sure I would go so far as to say it was magical as much as it is cutting edge for a car.
Now if MB would go so far as incorporating the Xentra/DAS/SDS capabilities into each cars Comand system where the adaptations, testing etc.. could be done without having an externally mounted laptop, software and hardware now THAT would be magical:). I am sure the capability is there. |
