It is always interesting to see what they come up with and there can be a learning curve to figure out the benefits of these new features. Today we’re going to take a closer look at one new feature in particular, Apple CarPlay. We’ll see what Mercedes-Benz vehicles offer this feature and how it can help improve your everyday driving experience.
Apple CarPlay is a system that is available on select vehicles. It takes all the features you love about your iPhone and puts them on your vehicle’s infotainment system, making them easy to use on the go. You can get directions, make calls, send and receive messages and listen to music through your car’s built-in display. This helps you stay connected while also keeping your attention on the road. Apple CarPlay also features Siri voice control to help use voice commands. Siri can even send, read and reply to your text messages.
