(W205): Vídeo - Sistema Apple™ CarPlay

Even though Mercedes-Benz didn't bother to give us a YouTube video of how the Apple CarPlay was integrated in the the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205, they did provide the media with a pretty massive gallery of photos showing some of the functionalities of the operating system.




Fret not, as the Germans from Ausfahrt TV (it means "highway exit" in German, you jokers) jumped in a new C-Class with an Apple spokesman at the Geneva Motor Show 2014 and filmed the entire shenanigans. 




In short, the following video should provide every technology or smartphone neophyte out there with the basics in operating the Apple CarPlay in a Mercedes-Benz.




Keep in mind that the operating system comes on top of the native Mercedes-Benz Comand and is only available if you own an iPhone 5, 5S or 5C. 




“Two years ago we set a new trend with the integration of the smartphone into our vehicles, and Apple and Google have picked it up,” said Prof Dr Thomas Weber, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Group Research & Mercedes-Benz Cars Development. “We offer our customers an ideal in-car infotainment system. We are constantly developing the connected car with the latest technologies available, so that every Mercedes-Benz driver can use their smartphone in the car in full comfort and safety.”




This comes as no surprise for most people, or better yet as actually something expected for quite some time now, as smartphones have become an indispensable part of everyday life in most countries.




 Android users shouldn't feel let down, as Mercedes-Benz has also been working with Google for quite some time now, and an Android-based infotainment system has already been available in the SLS AMG since 2011, as the “AMG Performance Media.”
