I think the Mercedes-Benz GLC's support for CarPlay is quite reliable. I previously drove a 2021 GLC, and the wireless CarPlay seamlessly connected to my iPhone, allowing me to use the screen for navigation to popular attractions and switch Spotify playlists, making long drives less tiring. In fact, most models after 2016 come standard with this feature, but it depends on the configuration, such as the MBUX system. Older models like the 2015 may require a dealer upgrade. My personal experience is that CarPlay is safe and convenient, avoiding the need to stare at the phone, and Mercedes integrates it smoothly with high navigation accuracy, more stable than Android Auto. When buying a used GLC, I recommend checking the model year or test-driving to confirm. An upgrade costs around $500, which is worth the investment.

I drive a Mercedes-Benz GLC to work every day, and CarPlay is a lifesaver. It supports most models after 2017, allowing direct control of maps to avoid traffic, podcasts for news via USB or wireless connection with an iPhone. Especially when picking up kids, Siri reading messages is safe and convenient. If your car is a 2020 model or later, wireless CarPlay generally runs smoothly without lag. I've tried upgrading the MBUX system on older models, and it works effortlessly. This feature is practical and cost-saving, with precise navigation reducing fuel consumption. Mercedes-Benz's design thoughtfully caters to family needs. It's advisable to check compatibility during maintenance to ensure the software is up-to-date for an optimized experience.
