In addition to the Phone, Music, Maps, Messages, and Now Playing buttons, their will also be a button for Mercedes' own COMAND app. Daimler AG:
Last June, as part of its 24th WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), Apple announced a so-called in-car infotainment system based on its "iOS in the Car". Now the company has announced the official completion and release of the iPhone-based solution under the name "CarPlay" which gives iPhone users an incredibly intuitive way to make calls, use maps, listen to music and access messages with just a word or a touch. Mercedes-Benz is the only German premium automotive manufacturer which is planning to support the system from the outset, and is demonstrating how it works in Geneva in a new C-Class.
