I’ve got a 2014 C-Class with Comand 4.5 and have the Mercedes ODBII adaptor for the App. I also have the Mercedes Me app which isn’t connected to the ODBII dongle and both will work independent of each other.
The non-dongle App is great for maps and sending destinations to the car which are picked up in the Comand interface without any issue. It’s about the only useful thing on the Mercedes Me app, not even an image of the car shows in it, just a generic car shape covered in blanket (something to do with configurator not being called correctly by the app in the background probably) but it does connect to my calendar and I can send destinations direct to the car.
The dongle app which seems more feature rich with tracking of journeys and other data only seems to have navigation options for petrol stations or car parks. I can search for destinations but it won’t let me send them to the car, it appears to only let me navigate to fuel and parking locations. Am I missing something or is this normal?
I’ve had connected BMWs and Audis and to be honest, they are all pretty rubbish at what they do - all seem to be geared around marketing and selling rather than useful functions. I hoped the Mercedes one would be better.
