The MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) is a user-friendly system that is making waves in the car accessories market these days! Forget those days of buttons and touch-screen entertainment. Information, navigation, and entertainment are now voice-controlled.
Tap, swipe, and pinch gestures make it super easy for you to control the entire gamut of Mercedes vehicle features at any given moment.
What Is MBUX?
Get in and drive off to your destination, that’s how simple it is with the MBUX system. All you have to do is do some simple taps, or sweeping gestures, or use your voice to control everything the car is capable of doing.
For example, you have your own personal infotainment system that works with hand gestures, voice, and touch control. Use a command that you’re comfortable with.
How Does Mercedes Augmented Reality (AR) Work?
Use Swipe And Pinch Controls
The Mercedes MBUX system uses a trackpad that you find on the console system, a touchpad controller, and a touchscreen. For instance, you can switch between calls just by swiping the controls with your fingers.
Additionally, you can pinch the screen to expand your view of what’s on the screen. The area you want to be highlighted is zoomed in so you have a clearer view.
Standard features like the Mercedes personal assistant AI called ‘Elly’ act as your personal chauffeur and keeps track of all the important details related to your travel plans.
MBUX Interior Assist
The MBUX Interior Assist comes with four display styles: Modern Classic, Sport, Progressive, and Discreet, so you can choose based on your mood.
The Interior Assist can detect and interpret your particular hand gestures and movements to activate selected functions in seconds without having to take your eyes off the road.
Also, this system is designed to differentiate between a driver and a passenger!
Use The Artificial Intelligence Voice Control System
New functions are regularly added to this intelligent AI system, and an improved voice control system means that you can use voice control when there’s little or no light around you.
The MBUX advanced voice command system allows the driver to ask their vehicle for anything just by saying “Hey Mercedes” followed by a request such as “Hey Mercedes, I’m hot.”
The system then goes to work and brings the temperature down to a comfortable level.
It’s even possible to connect your system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Touch Control
The touch control concept can be controlled with one or two fingers as well as your handwriting. There is a touch-sensitive pad on the steering wheel and on the dashboard.

Mercedes-Benz has released MBUX with an app called the Mercedes-Benz Me app that allows customers to keep in touch with the latest upgrades and services offered by Mercedes. Over-the-air updates keep your vehicle up to date with the latest features at your disposal at any given moment.
How Does The Mercedes Augmented Reality Navigation System Work?
To help you overcome all the complexities of modern traffic, MBUX AR navigation brings together the real world and a simulated version of it. It lays virtual guidelines onto your actual view allowing for a more stress-free way to get to your destination.
What Is Mercedes MBUX Augmented Video For Navigation?
Cameras on the windscreen record the area between vehicles allowing you to check the environment ahead on the dash display.
Navigation highlighted and superimposed information showing addresses of your destination on-screen help you reach your location with ease.
When waiting at a red light, pending traffic light status is shown above all, meaning you avoid having to make difficult readjustments after turning from green to red without warning.
How Much To Upgrade Your Mercedes Augmented Reality Navigation System?
You can get your Mercedes AR navigation system upgraded for around $300 at your local Mercedes dealership.
The MBUX Mercedes-Benz User Experience system is a great way for drivers to interact with their Mercedes cars. Simple to use, the Mercedes Me app is available on both Apple and Android.
The best part of this system is that you can control your car with just voice commands, so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the steering wheel.
If your Mercedes offers you an upgrade, this is a great time to take it, as you’re guaranteed future updates on complete auto.
