![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi there,
I just saw a new settings entry about CarPlay after upgrading to iOS 9.
Anyone tested it with a new C-Class?
I'm curious but can't test it right now. Maybe at last we will be able to read/write SMS and talk with Siri without touching the iPhone...
Thanks

Voice recognition is not CarPlay. On my car, voice recognition works fine with my iPhone 6.
CarPlay software is not part of the COMAND system at this time. MB delayed it indefinitely after first announcing that they would support it. A future software update may add it, but that is conjecture at this point.
Unless Apple has done something truly miraculous with IOS 9, your C-Class vehicle will not recognize CarPlay and will not bring up the Apple CarPlay menu on your screen.

This is subtlety different to using linguatronic, which I've never had any problems using with my iPhone...

Nor can I get it to use Siri via the speech button being held down on the steering wheel even though my dealer can aparrently get it working in their cars.
It's going to be checked when it goes in for its new acoustic glass retrofit.

According to Mercedes own manual connecting to command online is done simply through Bluetooth connection. I've tried to use this feature via Bluetooth as well as through a direct USB connection to the car neither work.

Same, never been able to get Siri voice recognition to work via the steering wheel, disappointing as that's the main thing I'd like to have for dictating messages/emails on the go.

The wireless CarPlay option is in general settings on the iPhone. It won't work with the c class as others have said. C class does not have CarPlay yet.

My dealer tech guy says he can't get Apple Car Play to work either. He emailed MB so I'm still waiting results. He thinks we may need to go in for a software upgrade to make Car Play work. There are several videos on YouTube showing Car Play in the C300 so I don't get what the problem is.

I would hope Mercedes would offer an upgrade to existing cars for CarPlay. I read one article from more than a year ago, where Mercedes said they would offer a CarPlay module for existing cars, but that was then and there really hasn't been much word from MB since.
