Unfortunately, adding Apple CarPlay (or Android Auto) as an aftermarket accessory is not a possibility. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are offered as standard features on select Mercedes-Benz models, while other models need to be equipped with a specific available package from the manufacturer. For example, the C-Class must be equipped with the available Smartphone Integration Package for passengers to enjoy Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz models without Apple CarPlay compatibility cannot add the feature as an aftermarket accessory.
If you’re in the market for a new Mercedes-Benz vehicle but you want to ensure its equipped with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, contact the team at Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale.

Safely using your phone while driving is easier than ever with Apple CarPlay. The system integrates with the vehicle’s in-dash touchscreen, steering-wheel controls, and the central controller, which allows users to enjoy a variety of apps via an interface that looks exactly like an iPhone. The system links iPhones and Siri to the vehicle so drivers can read or write text messages via voice, make or accept calls, stream music or audiobooks, navigate, and more—all without taking their eyes off the road.
