What is Mercedes-Benz COMAND®?

Mercedes-Benz vehicles are world-class leaders in performance, safety, and technology, and COMAND® is the centerpiece in many new and pre-owned vehicles. What is COMAND® in Mercedes-Benz cars and SUVs? And what can the feature do to improve your daily drives? COMAND® stands for “Cockpit Management and Data system.” It consists of three interrelated features: COMAND® Display, COMAND® Navigation, and COMAND® Controller. What’s more, it’s easy to integrate with a compatible smartphone!

COMAND® Features in Your Mercedes-Benz

The first version of COMAND® was introduced many years ago, and it has been continually updated and enhanced with the latest features. In the most-recently produced models, COMAND® includes each of the following:

• COMAND® Display – Your Mercedes-Benz COMAND® connects you to all of your favorite features using a freestanding or embedded central display.
• COMAND® Navigation – Browse points of interest, view your surroundings in three dimensions, and enhance your daily adventures with built-in COMAND® Navigation.
• COMAND® Controller – Mercedes-Benz COMAND® makes it easy to find what you’re searching for with hard keys, knobs, and touchscreen controls.

Of course, you can use Mercedes-Benz COMAND® to do just about anything. It’s never been easier to play your favorite music, send and receive text messages, or make hands-free calls on the roads of Centerville and Fairfax. You can even fully integrate your smartphone, and access features like Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ on the go.  Are you having trouble with your COMAND® features? In some cases, a Mercedes-Benz COMAND® update or a Mercedes-Benz COMAND® system reset may be required.

What Is Mercedes-Benz MBUX®?

Starting in MY2020, many new Mercedes-Benz vehicles are starting to offer Mercedes-Benz MBUX®. This next-generation AI-powered cockpit assistant builds on the features and the legacy of COMAND® to deliver unprecedented enjoyment and convenience. Here’s what you can expect if you choose a new model with the Mercedes-Benz User Experience:

• MBUX® offers even more features and even more seamless smartphone integration.
• It can be controlled using the touchscreen, steering-wheel mounted controls, or a built-in touchpad near the gear shift.
• Even more impressively, MBUX® allows you to take control using natural language voice commands.
• Just say “Hey Mercedes,” and you can bring your favorite features online without memorizing commands or keywords.

MBUX® is already available in the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE interior.
