iTunes using steering wheel controls
Hi All, I believe this question was asked before, but I can’t find the thread. On my new E450, I have Apple CarPlay connected. However, I cannot find a way to scroll through my iTunes music library, advance to the next song, or put it on random **using only steering wheel controls**. All cars I’ve had in the last 10 years I was able to do that, but I can’t find a way to do it in this Mercedes. I don’t want to keep touching menus on screens to find songs or advanced to the next song. And I don’t want to use voice control if I can avoid it. Anyone know a way? Thanks!

It’s pretty bad, but you should be able to scroll down with 4-way steering wheel controller on the steering wheel so that you see on the instrument cluster the audio information. Once you are there, you can use that same controller to go sideways to go forward/back through tracks. Warning: the tiny 4-way touch control is horrid.
