Overview of smartphone integration
With Smartphone Integration, you can use certain
functions on your mobile phone via the multime-
dia system display.
Only one mobile phone at a time can be connec-
ted via Smartphone Integration to the multimedia
system. Also for use with two phone mode with
smartphone integration, only one additional
mobile phone can be connected using Bluetooth
with the multimedia system.
The full range of functions for Smartphone Inte-
gration is only possible with an Internet connec-
tion. The appropriate application must be down-
loaded on the mobile phone to use Smartphone
Integration. The mobile phone must be switched
on and connected to the multimedia system via
the USB port using a suitable cable.

Mercedes-Benz recommends disconnecting
the connection via the device manager or the
connecting cable only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
Overview of transferred vehicle data
When using Smartphone Integration, certain vehi-
cle data is transferred to the mobile phone. This
enables you to get the best out of selected mobile
phone services. Vehicle data is not directly acces-
sible.
The following system information is transmitted:
Software release of the multimedia system
R
®
or
System ID (anonymised)
R
The transfer of this data is used to optimise com-
munication between the vehicle and the mobile
phone.
To do this, and to assign several vehicles to the
mobile phone, a vehicle identifier is randomly gen-
My
erated.
This has no connection to the vehicle identifica-
tion number (VIN) and is deleted when the multi-
media system is reset (
MBUX multimedia system 343
page 323).
