How to Connect Hicar to Mercedes-Benz?
3 Answers
On the phone's home screen, click the Settings option, open the Settings interface and click More Connections, then click to open the Huawei Hicar option. On the opened interface, follow the prompts to perform the connection operation. After successful connection, the car option will be displayed, then proceed with the setup. Once the connection is completed, the owner can start using it normally.
Connecting my own Mercedes-Benz C-Class to Hicar is actually quite simple. Don't rush to drive off after getting in the car - first turn on your phone's Bluetooth, then swipe down on the vehicle's central display to find the connectivity menu. At this point, a pairing request will pop up on your phone, just confirm it and you're done. Remember to enable location permissions and WLAN on your phone, otherwise navigation and music won't transmit properly. Once connected, you can directly skip songs or answer calls using the steering wheel controls, and the central display will even show your food delivery status. The only hassle is waiting about ten seconds for automatic reconnection each time you start the car, but you get used to it - still much safer than looking at your phone while driving.
Attention Mercedes-Benz owners: To use Hicar, you need a Huawei phone or certain Honor models—iPhone users need not bother. The sequence is crucial—start the engine and power on first, then connect your phone. Activate pairing mode in the car's Smart Interconnect option, and Hicar will automatically search when enabled on your phone. Key reminder: USB ports can charge but not transfer data—this design is truly inconvenient. Once connected, the central display mirrors your phone screen, with all apps adapted for touch control. NetEase Cloud Music sounds best, offering superior audio quality compared to Bluetooth.
