    Can the Emira Infotainment System do an over the air update?

    I have had issues with the infotainment system since picking up the car, with one of the most annoying being the inability for the native phone app to sync my contacts from the phone - attempting to synch the phone simply resulted in a "synch error" message.

    How much later is the release date of the i4 over the V6?

    Any idea how much later after the release of the V6, the i4 will be available? That is, is the First Edition only the V6 or will there be a corresponding First Edition AMG offering at the same time? Personally a Manual 4 Cylinder would be the perfect combination :-) but the local dealer...
