Question about Rear MBUX tablet
Hey guys,
In all the videos i've seen the rear tablet has Radio, Navigation, Comfort, Phone and Settings. For some reason I do not have Radio or Navigation icon on mine and cannot change music or send destination from the rear seat. Can anyone tell me if there rear tablet has the radio or media icons and navigation so they can change from the back. I do not have the rear screens, only the tablet encase that makes a difference
Thanks in advance

This is the additional 2 monitors that are mounted on the backs of the seats. If you HAVE this option, then all 3 screens mirror the front one. If your bootleg like me, and only have the rear monitor you cannot see navigation or radio, first world problems LOL. I did find out you can change the volume on the radio, move stations backwards/forwards which I guess is ok, but being able to enter navigation is really what i wanted this rear tablet for.

My order has the package, whether I actually get it is a whole different question. Offhand the things that stand out on my order is that active ambient doesn't seem to exist, there is no mention of it. I noticed I don't see it on the site either although that was in a quick perusal. I also don't see the screens mentioned when you option executive line in the configurator but they are on the order. Already deleted for credit is the trunk kick.

The option code for AAL is 878 encase you can check the sticker/order form for the option

I went 3d tech and 4D with executive; the dealership seems to think this means the ambient lighting significantly more likely to show up with the car. Don't know the truth of that but it is their claim. The ambient is also a pad for me, along with the 4d, and 3d tech as well. I didn't order the EABC. I did want the exclusive leather and so be trying to add until it locks but it can't now be ordered in any configuration we tried.

The only mirroring that occurs is between the tablet and the chosen right or left rear screen.

Hi, that’s not really the case; each screen operates independently from the others, including the front center console screen. Also, you can share media from from one to the other(s), among other features.

Just purchased a 2021 S580 with the rear screens. I am am to view videos on the front screen but I cannot drag to the rear screens. Is it really not possible to mirror from front to rear? If not, where do you plug in inputs to watch a movie in the back?
Thanks!

tomorrow I’m going to the Mercedes Benz dealer , I’ll ask them about it. I think it might not be available for your vehicle because it would have no purpose I guess. I’ll reply quick as I could be .

Why would it have no purpose? I have an executive model with rear executive seat used for chauffeuring me around. Alot safer for me entering a destination on the rear of the vehicle then the driver. I've seen pics of other vehicles with this option enabled and no rse but not in the US. The dealers know absolutely notihng, there morons. It's insane as you would think someone would have a clue about a 157k flagship vehicle

i got some bad news. its not available in some regions as my dealer said to me. i think its a marketing strategy by mercedes. so stupid that my car got millions of features but i cant even use most of them. it could serve a nice purpose , the thing im saying is it will cost more money to put an navigation interface for the tablet.

He’s still working in the W223. I don’t think he has anything ready for it yet. We’ve all been waiting for some time (if you’ve followed some of the threads here).
