EQS 580 data plan and Car Play

What are the benefits to signing up for the data plan on the EQS 580? I am assuming it has no bearing on real time traffic reporting but would allow for streaming of Apple Music and Spotify?
(Theoretically this can all be done from the phone.)

Is there any way to get the full Apple CarPlay on the main screen? Another words can we see the Waze app?

Benefits of data plan are:
1) Ability to stream music without a phone
2) Ability to use the web browser which enables you to stream video
3) WiFi hotspot

Not sure about your CarPlay question. I do get full apple CarPlay on my 17" center screen, and I can get Waze in that too. The only limitation I see relating to Waze is that Waze does not support the multi-display feature so you don't get Waze directions in the instrument cluster or head-up display, whereas you will get Apple Maps directions in those displays.

How do you get the CarPlay on the center screen? Does it require plugging in the USB? Do you just start Waze on your phone and it shows up on the center screen?
thx in advance.

Your dealer should have set this up for you during delivery. You connect the phone via bluetooth and then setup CarPlay. The owners manual can help.

This video probably also explains it - should be similar in EQS.

Yes. The only thing it doesn't support is Augmented Reality Arrows.

BTW Apple Maps-Carplay integration also shows HUD and instrument cluster directions in our 2020 GLE. It's not a new thing.

Correct all it does is allow you to stream from the radio directly. Instead of from the phone to the radio through Bluetooth or wired. Personally it a useless expense unless you think its vital to use the car as a wifi hotspot..
I live in an area where cell signal is spottt and frequently absent, using the car rather than the phone does not make any difference.
