Connecting Your Google Pixel

Like any other smartphone, you can connect your Google Pixel smartphone to your Mercedes-Benz either via Bluetooth or the USB-C cable that came with your phone.

  2. In your vehicle, navigate to the Phone option in MBUX and select it.
  3. Press Connect New Device.
  4. Select your phone when it appears*.
  5. On your Google Pixel, accept the prompt to pair with your vehicle.
  6. Another prompt will appear on your Google Pixel for messaging via MBUX; accept it.

And your Google Pixel is connected to MBUX!

*If you don’t see your phone, make sure the Bluetooth options on both your phone and Mercedes-Benz vehicle are turned on.

Connecting Android Auto

  1. After you have downloaded the Android Auto app, connect your phone to your Mercedes-Benz vehicle via the Data USB port.
