Under certain conditions it is necessary to set call volume and media volume on your mobile phone to maximum to get the best sound quality in your vehicle. In order to prevent problems, it is also recommended that the ring tone setting "Change with buttons" (under "Sounds and Haptics") is left switched off.
In order to use your vehicle's message functionality (text message and iMessage), perform the following steps:
In the Bluetooth device list on your iPhone select the item (i) for your vehicle ("MB Bluetooth" or "MBUX"). Activate the item "Show messages" in the following screen. The message functionality is available in the vehicle after reconnection.
Note that wireless charging can be slow or not working at all with iPhones featuring MagSafe.
Installed apps, software updates, phone settings as well as a high use of the main memory and storage space of the phone can affect functionality and cause problems.
Approved phone software versions: iOS 14.4
