Thanks for this great video. Is there any way to allow Apple Car play to automatically show up when you get into and turn on the car? Instead of manually clicking the button at the top of the screen? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the comment. I think you will need to delete the CarPlay settings and then reconnect it again. Please follow the instructions below: Settings > select “General” > select “CarPlay” > select your car > select “Forget This Car” Then go back into your car and setup Apple CarPlay by following the instructions in this video. Let me know how you get on please?
Thanks for the advice. Even with only one phone the car defaults to t-mobile wifi to connect which I don’t plan to purchase. It would be good to understand how to bypass this step and just immediately connect via bluetooth. Also when you try wireless charging it also defaults to t-mobile so annoying!!!
Yes you can watch TH-cam. You can use your Hotspot feature off your phone (if you have hotspot) then the car will have access to the internet. I have watched my own TH-cam videos in the new GLC and C-Class. I have not tried Netflix but TH-cam definitely worked. I am going to try to record a video and edit a video about this feature in the next couple weeks so please subscribe to see that. Which model do you own that has the latest MBUX system? Let me know how you get on in the meantime?
Sorry I didn’t get a chance to test this. I will try in the future if I get a car to test for long enough. I have been able to watch mp4 video files from a USB memory stick aslong as the file size is not too big. Under 1gb it should work and maybe just over 1gb. Anything larger will probably not work. Watching Netflix might buffer if there is a poor signal. Let me know how you get on.
Thank you for this, Sir. I'd like to correct a minor error in the wireless technology used for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Bluetooth LE is only used for commissioning (i.e. pairing). BTLE is not used anymore afterward as these wireless systems work through Wi-Fi instead. Indeed, Bluetooth does not have the necessary bandwidth to enable the CarPlay interface on the integrated display of the car wirelessly, which is currently streamed using the H.264 video codec, also called AVC (the next generation of CarPlay will use H.265, also called HEVC, to stream the interface through Wi-Fi, due to the increased number of supported screens in this future version).
How did you get your home screen to change to have the Navigation - Phone and Radio above the climate controls? I asked Mercedes if this page can be changed to do the exact same thing and they said it's not possible to edit the main screen which i thought is odd. It drives me crazy having to hit the home button just to get to the radio option. Ideally I would like the radio to be the background instead of the map but don't think that is possible?
Thanks for the comment. Which model and year do you own? Please watch this video from 19:53 th-cam.com/video/pUVLgkpShIQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dzFllFea4lvnSlZT which should allow you to change the layout of your screen.
@@DrSaahb 2024 GLC 300. Thank you, I had it on zero layer but didn't know I could change to classic so thank you. I do like zero layer better though and wish i could customize the 3 options at the bottom. That being said, I see you have 3 options but on my menu I only have 2 - Music and Device where you have those 2 and an additional box. Is that by the learning of the mbux or something you were able to customize? Thanks again for the quick reply
I prefer zero layer. The more you use it, the more it learns how you want the screen layed out during the day and night. Not sure if there is a quicker way for you to save a screen layout.
All UK cars should have satnav. However I would not know about other countries. I would recommend you call your local dealer to find out about your specification.
Very good question. You cannot display Apple CarPlay on the front instrument cluster (screen in front of the steering wheel). Can I ask what you wanted to use the display for (apart from just seeing Apple CarPlay)?
@@DrSaahb for example I am using waze in Apple Maps and not the default nav. I would like to see that in the main console A friend of mine has bmw, which allows for this to happen . Could you do a video on the heads up display :)
I do not think it is possible on the Mercedes but I will try it next time I am at the dealership in a couple weeks. I would love to see the new heads up display but very unlikely I will get the chance to see it because it is so difficult getting a car with that option. As soon as I see it I will try to capture this on video.

@@DrSaahb How it works to brows the music. Does it work to select “up next” and “play later”. Does it support Dolby Atmos with Burmester 3D? Such things :)
Just got the the GLC 2024 and so confused about how the wireless works with T-Mobile. Seems like the car defaults to looking for a wireless signal versus bluetooth or cable connect. Since I don't have the wireless on, it disrupts how Carplay is supposed to work. It is so confusing! You could do a video just on to properly set this up, especially if you are using two phones!
Thanks for the comment. I haven’t got two mobile phone contracts so will not be able to test this. Try connecting one phone with a cable and switching the Bluetooth off. The other phone connect with Bluetooth and see how you get on?
Try switching your phone off and then on. Also make sure you have the latest updates on your phone. If that doesn’t work then let me know what iPhone you have please?
Have you closed all your apps on your phone? Then connected the phone? Also try using a different iPhone or a friends iPhone to see if they have the same issue?
So UK customers get satellite navigation and Apple CarPlay as a standard feature. Which country did you buy your car from because some countries may charge to have it from factory or the option to buy it later through the Mercedes Me online Portal. Some countries may require you to take the car to the dealership to have the features fitted.
Thanks for the comment. It is a really big display and easy to use. Or you can just use the “Hey Mercedes” voice assistant to use allot of the functions of the car.
@@DrSaahb the combination looks off. I own e class coupe with mbux ntg6 with cropped carplay support. Looks absolutely terrible so im just forced to use mbux. Which i think what Mercedes is trying to do, force people to use mbux and pay for their navigation maybe

Did you buy a used car?
Try removing the bluetooth settings on your phone and on your car. Then connect the phone with a cable only and not Bluetooth.
nope brand new 2024
Try the above and let me know how you get on please?
Do you know if its possible to watch video on this system when parked? Such as youtube or netflix

I don’t have the Amg package and also realize I don’t have the navigation on the screen. Is the Navigation something you can upgrade at the dealer ?

Anytime bro 👌 Let me know how you get on?
could you show hot apple music works on the Benz in another video?

@@DrSaahb How it works to brows the music. Does it work to select “up next” and “play later”. Does it support Dolby Atmos with Burmester 3D? Such things :)
Thanks. I will try to find out in the near future and I might do a video on this.
can i use the navigation from MBUX, including the HU display and use Flitsmeister from the apple carplay?
Thanks for the question. I woild need to try this when I get my hands on a car with Head Up Display. I will let you know how I get on in the future.
@@DrSaahbany new information yet?
Could the carplay be connected via cable, or is it wireless only?
Really good question. I will test this but I think you can. Next time I get my hands on the new C-Class I will test this.
I’ve got the 2020 CarPlay only works through cable in mine so I’d assume it would also work in the 2023
Yes I can confirm you can connect with a cable.

My 2022 Mercedes GLE53 doesn’t support wireless CarPlay 😂only cable
Thanks for the comment. The facelift has wireless support for Apple CarPlay so models registered late 2023 and after.
Literally an iPad with that screen size

nope
Looks trash, and inconsistent
Thanks for the comment. Which infotainment do you prefer?
Do you like MBUX or you don’t like both Apple CarPlay and MBUX
@@DrSaahb the combination looks off. I own e class coupe with mbux ntg6 with cropped carplay support. Looks absolutely terrible so im just forced to use mbux. Which i think what Mercedes is trying to do, force people to use mbux and pay for their navigation maybe
The latest MBUX in the new CLE (replacement to the E-Class Coupe) should address this with full screen of the Apple CarPlay.
