Questions on play music in Mercedes Benz
Mercedes USB device unreadable? How can I play all the MP3 and WMA music in my Benz AMG C 43 Sedan? However, I’ve read that the Comand system in other 2016 Benz models do have native support for playing back lossless MP3 and WMA files. Why some songs skipped directly? – Shane Hansen
Hi there I have been trying to copy my iTunes library to a USB Flash Drive which will then be plugged into my C 300 Sedan USB drive. At the moment some tracks work, some tracks don’t? I presume it may be something to do with what format the tracks have been saved in? I currently have iTunes set to import as apple lossless which I want to keep but maybe this is why they won’t play on my USB drive? Is there any way I can make all the tracks work on my C 300 Sedan. – Kyle Adams
I was wondering if there is an update to the Comand system to allow the playback of Flac files. I downloaded more than 100 songs, but my E 300 Sedan can’t read anyone. How to solve this problem? – Shane Hansen

1. Does Mercedes Comand System play digital video files from USB/SD?
According to the Owner’s Manual (Media: Audio/Video section): "The multimedia system supports the following video formats: DVD-V, MPEG, WMV, M4V, AVI up to 720p". However when you try copying video files in above formats to an USB or a SD card, the system only plays the audio sound when you are driving. This is Mercedes-Benz’s most humane design.
More and more automobiles are equipped with on-board information entertainment system. Not only the front row, but also the back row is also being popularized from high-class cars to middle-class cars. In fact, the biggest use of the front-row vehicle-borne information entertainment system may still be to look at electronic navigation maps and reverse radar images, but it also brings unsafe factors. Playing video during driving distracts drivers, thus affecting the safety of drivers and passengers. According to the actual test results, most drivers simply can not resist the temptation of flashing pictures, they will look at the pictures from time to time, the spirit can not be completely focused on driving.
The rear LCD screen is a kind of LCD screen which is placed in the back of the head pillow of the front seat or in the back of the central armrest of the front seat. It is mainly used for playing some video, TV, games and entertainment, so as to facilitate the rear passengers to watch.
