Can you listen to CarPlay music while using MBUX Nav?

I’m picking up my 2025 a AMG GLC 43 coupe this week. Is it possible to listen to music via Apple CarPlay and use the built-in Mercedes navigation?

yes, carplay continues in the background as you use MB screen and carplay is just a small icon in the upper left of the screen. I set my small middle center screen to show whats playing so I can skip songs if I want to.

Awesome, exactly what I wanted to hear!! The MB navigation is gorgeous. Have you noticed whether stop light view works?

I don't know what exactly stop light view is but when I have set a destination and come to a stop light, even if going stright thru, it does show in nav screen the live video and dotted progress lines it wants you to follow, same for turns obviously. there maybe a way to automatically set that to happen even when no destination has been set but I have not come across it.

Thanks for the reply! What I am referring to is a feature I saw on some videos where the stoplight in front of you will show up on the center screen, making it easier to see, rather than having to bend over and look thru the top of the windshield.
