Transferred vehicle data with Android Auto
and Apple CarPlay
®
Overview of transferred vehicle data
When using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay
®
, cer‐
tain vehicle data is transferred to the mobile
phone. This enables you to get the best out of
selected mobile phone services. Vehicle data is
not directly accessible.
The following system information is transmitted:
R
software release of the multimedia system
R
system ID (anonymized)
The transfer of this data is used to optimize com‐
munication between the vehicle and the mobile
phone.
To do this, and to assign several vehicles to the
mobile phone, a vehicle ID is randomly gener‐
ated.
This has no connection to the vehicle identifica‐
tion number (VIN) and is deleted when the multi‐
media system is reset (
/
page 190).
The following vehicle status data is transmitted:
R
transmission position engaged
R
distinction between parked, standstill, rolling
and driving
R
day/night mode of the instrument cluster
The transfer of this data is used to alter how con‐
tent is displayed to correspond to the driving sit‐
uation.
The following position data is transmitted:
R
coordinates
R
speed
R
compass direction
R
acceleration direction
This data is only transferred while the navigation
system is active, in order to improve it (e.g. so it
can continue functioning when in a tunnel).
