Experience the Next Level of Infotainment with the Latest MBUX System from Mercedes-Benz

The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) is the second generation of a user-centered infotainment system that adapts to individual users and makes personalized recommendations for a range of infotainment, comfort, and vehicle functions. This system, which includes a context-sensitive user interface powered by artificial intelligence (AI), reduces the number of interaction steps required to use its various functions. The "zero layer" of the MBUX system presents users with dynamic, aggregated content and relevant services at the top level of the MBUX information architecture, while the "magic modules" suggest additional functions that may be of interest to the user based on context and AI analysis.

 
Hey Mercedes: Enhanced Language Assistance

The MBUX system includes a language assistant called "Hey Mercedes," which has been enhanced in this second generation to provide even more dialog and learning capabilities. It can be activated through the Mercedes me App and can trigger certain actions without the need for the activation term "Hey Mercedes," such as taking a phone call. "Hey Mercedes" can also explain vehicle functions, assist with connecting smartphones via Bluetooth, and help users locate the first-aid kit. It can also integrate with compatible building technology and household appliances through the smart home function, allowing users to control these devices from the vehicle using voice commands. Additionally, "Hey Mercedes" can recognize individual occupants by their voice and provide access to personal data and functions through profile activation.

 
MBUX High-End Rear Entertainment Plus

The MBUX system also includes the option for high-end rear entertainment, featuring two 11.6-inch displays with touch controls on the backrests of the driver and front passenger seats. These screens allow passengers to share content and select and modify navigation destinations from the rear seats. The MBUX rear tablet, which can be ordered as an additional feature, functions as a fully-fledged tablet and can be used outside the vehicle, with the ability to install (Android) apps. This tablet serves as a remote control for all rear entertainment functions and can be conveniently controlled from any seated position.

 
MBUX Interior Assistant

The MBUX system includes an interior assistant that uses cameras in the overhead control unit and learning algorithms to recognize and respond to a range of operating requests. It interprets head movements, hand gestures, and body language to activate the appropriate vehicle functions. In addition to providing ease of use, the interior assistant also promotes safety, issuing a Blind Spot Assist exit warning when the hand approaches the door handle and reminding drivers to fasten the seat belt if a child seat is detected on the front passenger seat.

 
Online Music: Stream Millions of Songs

The MBUX system also includes a feature called "Online Music," which allows users to stream millions of songs through various music service providers. Users can access this feature through the "Hey Mercedes" voice assistant or the MBUX touchscreen. In addition to music streaming, the MBUX system offers a range of other online services, including weather updates, news, and traffic information.
