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

to your smartphone. Depending on the type

day/night mode and other general vehicle statuses.

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.

settings in the vehicle and change or reset
them at any time.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, this

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...
