I’ve played with mbux and didn’t like it

Amaterasu

Interesting, it possible to retrofit in future when it will be released? If only touchscreen working it be much better

Personally, I don't like touch screens and fingerprints!! cool tech though!!

Bexlee

agree with you completely .

My 2020 Stronger Than Time doesn't have a MBUX...doubt that happens but who knows, have another on order same time frame

I have a 2020 GLE350 and i really like the MBUX system. Nice to be able to talk to it and tell it what you want vs searching through screens to turn on the massaging seats for example. I don't use the touch screen just because of the fingerprint issue. But so much easier to just say Hey Mercedes turn this or that on. MBUX grows on you, in my opinion. I am hoping the 2021 G will have MBUX.

With Airplay as fantastic as it is, is MBUX really a necessity?

Bexlee

Can you talk to the current G in the same/similar way. I’ve heard people say on YouTube that you can? I’ve never actually seen anybody do it.

Izzone

Not in my opinion

I use CarPlay for pretty much everything

Same! MBUX seems rather redundant to me TBH.

Ultimately MBUX will be just fine in the G as you have so many analog alternative ways to use the system. BUT...
I like the look of the mbux controller pad. However Touch Screens in cars is a terrible experiment that will go away. It is dangerous to take your eyes off the road to touch something that is slightly moving with bumps in the road. Your arm extended is not precise and while you look to touch, the screens are never going to react perfectly.

yes you can talk to current G and turn on massage for driver or passenger as well as many other commands for calls, navigation, etc.

Correct, it has "Voice Control" for many functions.

Izzone

The placement of the screen in the G is pretty far from the driver

I'm my opinion too far to be touch screen

Bexlee

brilliant, thanks for the confirmation! Looking forward to trying this out :-)

Any news out there on MBUX in the 2021 G Wagon? Thanks

Eaton

It's been confirmed the 2021 will not have it.

jellystonepark

wow, disappointing that MB would continue with such old technology on one of their flagship vehicles. Thanks for the response!

Eaton

You can see what's new in the order guide provided here.

You would have to get the G Sedan in order to get MBUX:

not sure i want touchscreen on G... not safe or easy to reach... I actually found the tech to be quit good especially vs my prior Rover
