The software update of the MBUX system to version 3.3 brought new features to more than 700,000 Mercedes-Benz cars worldwide.

What is known

With the latest software update, passengers can enjoy Dolby Atmos sound in selected apps, including Amazon Music, Audible, and TIDAL. Moreover, Amazon Music and Audible apps can be launched directly from the onboard multimedia systems.

Selected movies from RIDEVU by Sony Pictures are now available in IMAX Enhanced format with immersive DTS:X sound. Mercedes-Benz calls the viewing of such movies a cinematic experience right in the car's cabin.

Microsoft Teams calls can be initiated directly from the app, and voice control now allows drivers to request a briefing or schedule overview even while driving.

Finally, the enhanced voice control feature allows users to configure additional vehicle settings through the Mercedes-Benz MBUX voice assistant.

MBUX 3.3 is available for Mercedes-Benz cars with the third-generation MBUX system: GLC, C-Class, CLE, E-Class.
