Soft Restart MBUX? AM stations?
Hey guys,
Does anyone know how to soft restart the MBUX system? In my old C63, I would just press and hold the power button in the center console down.
The AMG only has this button in the rocker panel under the screen. Nothing seems to happen when you press and hold it. I know that there is a button to turn off the system and turn it on, but Id like to reboot it completely WITHOUT using my preferences.
The main reason why Id like to do this is 2 issues
1. no AM station list. I only have FM, Sirius and Apple Car play. (This happened when i bought my C63 two years ago, but after a software update the AM list eventually popped up).
2. Small annoyance, but on Apple Car play the menu bar w the three icons that remains on screen when youre in maps/navigation etc is on the bottom of the screen for me. This has always typically been on the side of the screen in the past.
Thanks in advance.

I forgot what the magic button combination is to restart MBUX, but I'm sure somebody will post it. As for your CarPlay dock having moved to the bottom, make sure your Display Zoom in the phone's settings is set to Default and not Larger Text. The dock relocates automatically based on the screen resolution and zoom settings, and potentially other settings that affect font and icon sizes on your phone, but the Display Zoom setting gets mentioned specifically when I googled this issue. I'm also assuming you have restarted your phone, already, since MBUX doesn't do much when it comes to CarPlay other than mirroring the UI from the phone.
