Apple CarPlay™
Introduction
iPhone®functions can be used via the multime-
dia system using Apple CarPlay™. Apple Car-
Play™ can be operated using the controller or
Siri
®voice-operated control system. Whether
selected buttons are supported in the vehicle
depends on the iOS version of the mobile phone
and the apps available. You will find an overview
of the multimedia system's control panel and
available buttons here (
Ypage 18).
To activate voice-operated control, press and
hold the óbutton on the multifunction steer-
ing wheel (
Ypage 100). Apple CarPlay™ is only available for Apple
®mobile phones (see the
manufacturer's operating instructions). The
availability of Apple CarPlay™ may vary by coun- try and depending on vehicle equipment.
During Apple CarPlay™ use, various multimedia
system functions, such as navigation, are not
available.
The provider is responsible for its application
and related services and content.
Requirements
RApple CarPlay™ is available from the iPhone®

the latest operating system on the iPhone®.
RYou require a connector cable for the
iPhone®.
RThe full range of functions for Apple CarPlay™
is only possible when the Apple CarPlay™-
capable mobile phone is connected to the
Internet.

timedia system
In order to be able to use Apple CarPlay™, a

Transmitted vehicle data
When using Apple CarPlay™, specific vehicle
data are transmitted to the mobile phone. This
makes it possible to use selected mobile phone
services efficiently. The mobile phone does not
have active access to vehicle data. The following system information is transmitted:
RVehicle model
RVehicle model year
RMultimedia system software version
These data are transmitted in order to optimize
communication between the vehicle and mobile
phone.
A random vehicle code is generated for this pur-
pose and in order to assign multiple vehicles to the mobile phone.
This code is not related to the vehicle identifi-
cation number (VIN) and is deleted if the multi-
media system is reset (
Ypage 43).
The following driving status data is transmitted:
RGear position engaged
RDifference between parked, stationary,
coasting and driving
RInstrument cluster day/night mode
These data are transmitted in order to adapt the
content displayed to the driving situation.
The following position data is transmitted:
RGPS coordinates
RSpeed
RCompass direction
RAcceleration direction
RGyroscopic effects
These data are transmitted only when naviga-
tion is active in order to improve navigation (e.g.
when driving through a tunnel).
If you do not wish to have your vehicle data
transmitted, you can deactivate automatic start-
ing of Apple CarPlay™ (
Ypage 121) and briefly
terminate the mobile phone's USB connection
to the vehicle.
