Transferred vehicle data when using Apple
CarPlay™ and Android Auto™
Notes on transferred vehicle data
When using Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay™,
certain 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.

Software release of the multimedia system
The transfer of this data is used to optimize the
communication between the vehicle and 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 232).
Driving status data:
R

R
Distinction between parked, standstill, rolling
and driving

content is displayed to correspond to the driving
situation.

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).

ferred, you can deactivate the automatic start of
Android Auto™ (
