MUST HAVE CARPLAY! Car is junk without it.

It irks me to no end when people try to justify it (or any car) by raving about the technology. I care how it drives.

It hasnât been funded yet, most likely. Might be easier for the dealer to take the car back and give it back to MB to deal with it.

Easier for OP yes. Manufacturer wonât brand the title without a fight. If they unwind the deal, theyâll likely just PDI it again and resell it like nothing happened.
Probably not common but Iâve crossed paths with several dealerships/groups who ran a very tight ship: captive contracts were packaged/funded within 3 business days and tag/title was done within 2 business days. Many have a mess to cleanup at month end, but it varies.
I put it in the same category as âis it normal they didnât cut me a check back in 5 mins?â It depends on how regimented that dealer is and what cadence they work at. Some small dealers still have manual checkbooks, most go through AP, and AP in any company rarely cuts checks every day: they batch the cash requirements up front and approvals on the back. But YMMV.
Edit: today I learned Acura instant funds, which means a dealer could process the tag and title work with DMV the next business day after it settles. Not MB but the cycle times are dropping
you forgot is it a bimmer or benz? 
you havenât met âkidsâ my age or younger,(note kids cause they donât act their age) snapchatting while texting and driving on the highway and listening to terrible music. Welcome to 2019.

IF is the key word. If it has, dealer canât cancel.

I know, I know. Sorry I used âmost likelyâ instead of âifâ 
p.s. you conveniently cut my sentence off and took it out of context 
p.p.s. the thinking here is that he had this issue from day one and the dealer might be sitting on the contract to see where it goes. and they have 10 days to send it, anyway
My last 2 Infinitiâs were electronically signed (on a signature pad) and funded next day. I was impressed. Only had to sign the CA DMV forms in wet ink.

I wasnât intending to be out of contextâŚbut you also didnât say âifâ :D.
I, of course, know you know this 
On the flip side, had this been an issue since day 1, they may have tossed that into MB ASAP so they could wash their hands of it and make it MBs problem.
Itâs been a week total, so this is what they maybe trying to do now, I guess.
I get my tags and registration on the spot, long before contract is funded.

True, techs just hate it because they typically get paid less but thatâs life of a tech 
If itâs only been a week Iâd hope they take good care of you.
How do we know itâs funded or not.
Sorry if i am asking basic questionsâŚ
As is often the case. For others (Iâm sure you know), the title work is the gating issue. Once you car/VIN is titled, it canât be resold as new. Once the tag & title clerk at the dealer submits the title work to DMV (usually both at the same time) the dealer has no power to unwind the deal. They could buy it back, which is VERY rare. At that point itâs on the lender to resolve, or the manufacturer to step in.
Can you login to MB Financial? If you didnât get a letter yet, you can try to register with your VIN. If you can, itâs funded.
It could also be funded if you canât login, but the dealer would have to tell you if the title work was processed yet or not.
Lemon law?
Make sure youâre complaining with corporate as well.
As already suggested, I would take it to a different dealer. Itâs a hassle but less so than a lemon law route.
If the issue comes up a 4th timeâŚthen Iâd be going down the Lemon Law route or accepting that offer of a different car providing the numbers remain exactly the same as the previous deal. (although that wasnât particularly great)

Lemon Law for a check engine light that doesnât affect drivability? Is that really possible in CA?
