Mbux update (zero layer)

Just wanted to let everyone know that for 223s sold last year there is an mbux update that will
change the style of the menu to the eqs style.
You will get the Navi screen as default and all the other frequently used menus (radio, phone, Navi favourites) will appear as popups on the Navi screen.
You have to go and ask the dealer for the update as it can only be done with a service visit
You can toggle between classic menu style and zero layer by long pressing the home button
find attached pics with the new menu style

Looks great I always thought all the choices should be on one page. I go for the recall next Monday where they
reflash the ECU. I'll ask about the update to the EQS screen. Thx for info.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Mine is a 22 model year but I assume the update will also apply?

On a side note, the location depicted on your map brings childhood memories of stinky water in Olanesti. Just several miles away from Rm. Vilcea if memory serves me correctly. Numbered springs, it was horror being stuck there with my grandparents.

I think it's just a concept and it's not available yet.
And MBUX has OTA updates. 🤔

i have it on my car for almost a month now. I went to the dealer for something else (buying rubber floormats for winter) and one of the engineers thought to verify if there is any service recall since I was there.
I think there were 2 updates, one for mbux and one for something else which I cannot remember now. The MBUX one was about 100 minutes long

and also as far as OTA updates ….. from my experience ( in April it will be one year since I own this 223) there are only map updates that are done automatically.
the car only updates automatically for the region / country that you live in. Mine updates automatically for Romania, for the rest of the European Union I have to mannually go on the Mercedes connect website on my laptop, download the respective map updates for the countries that I select and then put on an usb stick and take that to the car.
if interested I can post pics or video with the procedure

I just had it done here in Florida. The dealer did a few updates and it had the updated mbux with zero layer when I got the car back today. The car went in because the center screen went blank. I will look on my service ticket tomorrow to see if I can get the exact update that was done.

Maybe ask if there is a service recall on your vin number. For me there were 3 recalls and one of them was for the the mbux zero layer

A general question off-topic about 'recall':- can one go to any authorized dealer of his choice or he has to go back to the dealer where the car was bought?

This is what my display shows now. These photos were taken this morning. I am no expert but it looks like it was the ecu update, software 2022010002. It was done at Coconut Creek MB. Hope that helps.

This is the mbux update. Long press the home button and you will see the message that lets you change between zero layer and classic menu

Yes. They had no clue about the MBUX update to look like the EQS. Talked to my SA and another couple people.
Big dealership in Bonita Springs FL. Went in for the ECU update.

That’s what I fear as well. I go to dealer Monday and i bet they tell me as well there is no update. Without specific update info/software to refer to, its a gamble when I go……

I did they said they had no recalls or updates on the zero layer of MBUX only the ECU. Someone said they had
a holiday screen on their screen, never saw that either. Is Europe different or are updates slower to get to the US?

Welcome to the wonderful world of asking dealers to check/install updates.

I’ll call tomorrow the technician who performed the update and ask for more details and will let you know. He probably left work for today as here is already 7 pm
