Additional Apps in MBUX
Hi, what apps do you have installed in addition to the default?
I’m curious to know what apps, if any, can be user installed?
See attached pix. Before zero layer update the apps folder just had the Energizing Coach app and now also has Gallery ( which includes, God forbid, Collision Photos).

My understanding is that all the additional apps need to be purchased from the Mercedes Me Store (whatever is available locally).

Also, what’s the “In-car Office app?” Can you take a pic when you get a chance? Thanks.

[QUOTE=Diesel Benz;8584169]I thought DoctorDash was from the US, perhaps mistaken but he had the dash cam app. Installing a camera and feeding power is quite a bit of work and silly when the car already has the necessary HW and SW, just the app needs to be released for each market. I'll keep waiting for the app release.

i am in the US, so we have the Dashcam app. It's actually really nice, I just threw a 512GB sdcard into the usb slot and let it rip. I watched a video on how much it actually uses that should get me some serious time. Since I'm still waiting on plates and cannot drive the car the other day I took it for a joy ride and two blocks from my house some bananahead crashed into a car right in front of me and the dashcam caught the whole thing. I remember saying to myself man this thing comes in handy. Luckily it wasn't my vehicle

Do you review the DashCam video in the car (on center console screen)? Or do you access the video on the SD card on a computer?

[QUOTE=Sonic Boom;8584302]Ive reviewed it in the vehicle, I gotta check it out on the PC and see how good the quality is. It looked ok in the car, not as good as the one I have in my other car but thats a standalone front/rear. But hey its free and working lol

Unsmart Dashcam
My car has a Dashcam, has 13 cameras in it for ParkAssist, but the Dashcam does not start automatically! It is so stupid to have a Dashcam in the car and then have to go into the Mercedes Me App and ask to "Start Recording" every time you get into the car and Start Engine. So, MB expects the driver in the US, to go manually and start the Dashcam after the car is put in gear - the Dashcam does not start recording as long as the car remains in Neutral. Who thought of this stuff, I wonder!!! If this was an issue with different country or state laws, they could have allowed the Owner to simply select a configuration for auto-start of the recording, thus absolving the manufacturers from lawsuits! Pretty useless. I might as well buy a dashcam from Amazon and hang it on the windscreen!!!

Auto-start?
I read that this auto-start is NOT available in US (for silly legal reasons), and I can't find any way to set it!
Please let us know if in fact you CAN set it up!
Thank you!

Yes 110% auto start for dashcam is enabled and working every time I start the car. Ive been joyriding with no plates so I just was checking it out 10 minutes ago. In order for AutoStart you just have to set LOOP RECORDING.
#19
No, not so!
However, thanks for your contribution to the thread.
#20
I'm in the US and the car does not have what you are referring to as 'auto-start'. I see no option to turn it on. LOOP recording does not start the recording when I start my car.

The European manual describes auto-start for the dashcam:
https://moba.i.mercedes-benz.com/bai...0ef-en-GB.html
Perhaps a SW release issue in the US, do you all have the zero layer update. Or could it be state dependent?

Also, read on this forum a few months ago that this feature is specifically disabled in US.
