Can the Mercedes-Benz C260L support wireless screen mirroring?

The Mercedes-Benz C260L does not support wireless screen mirroring. Wireless Screen Mirroring: Wireless screen mirroring, also known as wireless screen sharing or screen casting, refers to the technology that allows the display of Device A (such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer) to be "real-time" projected onto the screen of Device B (such as a tablet, laptop, computer, TV, all-in-one PC, or projector). The output includes various media content and real-time operation screens. Mercedes-Benz Screen Mirroring: Mercedes-Benz's screen mirroring function is initially compatible with Apple iPhones. Simply connect to CarPlay using a data cable (the USB port is located under the center console near the cup holder), and then you can project your phone's display. For Android phones, only some 2019 Mercedes-Benz models are supported, and you need to download the corresponding software and use an Android-to-Type-C adapter to connect and utilize Carlife for screen mirroring.
As a Mercedes-Benz C260L owner, I can confirm that wireless screen mirroring definitely works, especially the Apple CarPlay wireless feature which is super convenient. After getting in the car, it automatically connects to the phone's Bluetooth, projecting navigation, music, and messages directly onto the central control screen, eliminating the hassle of plugging and unplugging cables. This allows for more focused driving without distractions. However, if the system version is outdated, occasional disconnections may occur. The solution is simple: just restart the vehicle or update the phone's system. Android users should note that a USB cable connection might be required, which isn't as smooth as with an iPhone. I often remind friends to check the vehicle's configuration year when purchasing a car, as newer MBUX systems perform better. I frequently use this feature for maps to reduce the risk of getting lost, and it's easy to set up the connection after parking. Overall, this smart feature designed by Mercedes-Benz makes driving life easier and more enjoyable. I recommend exploring the settings menu more to get accustomed to the operations.
