General Questions
Hey, I have a 2023 GLC 43 Coupe and just have some general questions that I am pretty sure I already know the answer, but wanted to verify and some other ones, too:
1. I'm in the US and it seems like there's no chance of the dashcam or ILS headlights ever being activated, right? I know the headlights can be coded but the dashcam cannot.
2. On the Mercedes me app, there's no way to open or close windows, adjust the interior temp, or basically any other things like that except locking and unlocking? Again, in the US.
3. Anyone ever had issues where their HUD had spots blank out, like a blob would grow and the shrink and fix itself? I've had it happen a couple times already.
4. I've tried searching but it seems like there's no way to prioritize phones with BlueTooth? I have my phone and my work phone and my work phone typically connects first which is annoying since I always play music off of my personal phone. But I talk on my work phone enough to need it connected to my car yet.
That's it for now, thanks for any help.

2020 GLC300 touring version (but I miss my '93 300SE W140 tank)
My GLC300 was built in 2020 so I don’t know how significantly different the newer MBUX is, but my bluetooth phones are listed in the Media category and the top phone is the default bluetooth device when both are present. If one phone is hardwired in for Apple Car Play, however, it becomes the default.

- Don't know about the dashcam. The EU implementation of the full ILS functionality is still not legal in the USA, so the manufacturers are looking into what they can offer with the new ruling that was recently passed. Unfortunately, the USA didn't just adopt the same standard that the EU already has, and instead had to throw in their own twists. To enable full ILS functionality that's legal in the USA, MB would have to offer a software update first.
- Correct, only locking and unlocking and remote start
- Don't have the HUD
- Bluetooth has no support for prioritizing devices. Any prioritization is up to the Infotainment system. You can manually switch which phone is the default in the connection manager, but you have no control over which phone connects first and becomes the default. You can only switch it after they are both connected.
