Mercedes-Benz GLC : Data processing in the vehicle / Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or Apple CarPlay)
If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You can then control them
by means of the control elements integrated in
the vehicle. Images and audio from the smartphone
can be output via the multimedia system.
Certain information is simultaneously transferred
to your smartphone. Depending on the type
and integration, this includes position data, the
day/night mode and other general vehicle statuses.
For more information please consult the
Operator's Manual of the vehicle/infotainment
system.
This integration allows the use of selected
smartphone apps, such as navigation or music
player apps. There is no further interaction
between the smartphone and the vehicle; in particular,
vehicle data is not directly accessible.
The type of additional data processing is determined
by the provider of the app being used.
Which settings you can make, if any, depends on
the specific app and the operating system of
your smartphone.
You can store convenience settings and individual
settings in the vehicle and change or reset
them at any time.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, this
includes the following settings, for example:
Seat and steering wheel positions
Suspension and climate control settings
Individual settings, such as interior lighting
Depending on the selected equipment, you can
import data into vehicle infotainment functions
yourself...
