Hi
All you have to do is plug the device into the USB port in the car and then follow the instructions on the screen. Connect Bluetooth to the device instead of the car and it will work without any problems!
I use it in a Skoda Superb and am absolutely delighted.
Greetings Kilian
The product only works if Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is activated and available in the vehicle, as it provides these functions wirelessly. It is not a stand-alone system that runs independently of CarPlay, but rather extends the existing function. Whether Apple CarPlay must be activated in the Mercedes MBUX via the Mercedes-Benz Appstore depends on the respective vehicle model and equipment - the product itself does not change this.
