Went to MB Apps for the first time in a while and found a multitude of new apps including Traffic Cams. Check it out!

 

useless -- they're terribly slow and basically non functional in a practical application

mb has a LONG way to go on this issue

 

I tried it for the first time the other day.. its cool.. but very slow.. I am amazed they released this without it being faster.. I am unsure why anyone would pay for this service as is..

 

exactly, ... it's not even beta worthy .. it's just useless. pulling over, putting the car in park and using your iphone is much easier.

or with the iphone drive kit .. perhaps using siri through this system is much faster to get what you need siri to look for or mapquest, etc.

 

If they would just use the data connection on our phones (mostly LTE) it would be usable (aka - fast). I think they're using a 3G Verizon modem.

 

has anyone looked at the engineering menus to see if there is an option to use an external (bluetooth) connection like there was on the late 2011-2013 cars?
