If you enjoy a Mercedes, you can now upgrade its audio system... even if you bought it before 2019

Luxury cars usually come with a series of features that set them above the rest of the vehicles of the era in which they are sold. In the case of the Mercedes, there is no doubt that they are far superior to other cars of their generation, and for this reason they offer features that are not found in other models. The MBUX infotainment system, which is present in the latest Mercedes models, will allow the service it provides to be expanded through the online portal Mercedes Me.

This portal is responsible for offering Mercedes users updates for the system, so they can now opt for a one-year subscription to the streaming music service TIDAL, which rapper Jay Z has launched. This is just one of the advantages offered to all owners of a Mercedes, as the German brand intends for additional items to be available that make the experience of this service much more effective.

With the new features of the MBUX system, users can access functions they did not previously have, such as connectivity with Android and iPhone smartphones, a navigation system, or digital radio. Users who do not have the MBUX system can also get the free subscription if they have the Mercedes Me app on their phone, connecting it to the on-board system.

With this system, Mercedes offers its customers the opportunity to update their systems if they forgot to request any of these functions when purchasing their car. It also allows owners of the Mercedes who did not have the chance to get these systems when buying the model to acquire them and improve the service they have on their infotainment system.

But there is another advantage offered by this subscription service of features for the infotainment system. From 2020 onwards, all passenger vehicles sold in Europe must be capable of receiving digital radio, so those that have a Mercedes prior to that date, like the ones currently being sold, will be able to enjoy this service, something other brands will not be able to offer their customers. This is an advantage included in the current equipment of the Mercedes models, and it can also be complemented by others that may arrive later, keeping the brand’s cars up to date.
