New: Spatial Audio for Apple Music in EQS vehicles

https://nr.apple.com/DH2l7U9xv1

  • Mercedes-Benz cars become first non-Apple devices to offer Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos from Apple Music natively in a vehicle
  • Gold standard of sound: World's largest music label Universal Music Group officially bases song approval process on sound quality in Mercedes-Benz vehicles: "approved in a Mercedes-Benz"
  • New partnership, unparalleled in the automotive industry, creates perfect harmony between hardware, sound experience, music content and streaming platform for a seamless, immersive in- car audio experience

I have an EQS on order. What is the data source for the Apple Music? Is it the car's LTE or is it Bluetooth Carplay?

Excited for this but not sure how we get it?

Has anybody that has taken delivery of their EQS worked out if this is working for them or not? Some press releases and articles mention the requirement for the ‘High-end Burmester 3D Sound System’ which has 17-26 speakers. All the markets I’ve researched look like the EQS only comes with the 15-speaker, 3D Burmester system including mine (Australia) and MB themselves mention in their own press release that it’s coming to the EQS 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve been keeping an eye out on the ‘Dolby Atmos’ text like in the image with the press release appearing on the hyperscreen and it hasn’t appeared yet. Online Music in MBUX does have significantly better sound quality than playing over bluetooth but perhaps its to be activated via an upcoming software update.

(With my tongue only somewhat in my cheek) one of the advantages of being rather hard of hearing is that I don't worry about how music sounds in my 450 - I never turn on the radio!
Good luck to all of your in getting what you're wishing for!

This seems to be a good article confirming it is available in the 15-speaker EQS, EQE etc. It just doesn’t confirm whether there is a software update that activates it.

Actually it does say here there will be an UPGRADE. It says all S-Class from 2021 onwards, and EQS / EQE etc. with Burmester 3D or better sound system will be the Atmos UPGRADE. So I presume this will indeed be software, possibly they will try to charge us for it if it wasn’t delivered that way. Also it needs to be playback from the car system itself, not CarPlay or over Bluetooth from a device. So the car will need to be directly pulling from Apple Music over its own connection or over a Hotspot connection.
