Mercedes Joins Apple in Timing

No dark magic here, Mercedes is launching a new application for Apple Watch that provides direct access to the vehicle.

Mercedes is taking a new step in digitalizing the customer experience by integrating popular features of its app on Apple Watch, thus responding to strong user demand. This new feature allows owners to interact with their vehicle without needing their smartphone. They can now view real-time key information such as the vehicle’s range, its precise location, or remotely check if the windows are closed properly. It is also possible to lock or unlock the car remotely.

Key Features of Mercedes / Apple Watch

• Location and pedestrian navigation to the vehicle.
• Compass mode for orientation in areas lacking mapping.
• Quick access to essential information such as charge status, range, or fuel level.

Available now in Europe, this app marks another step towards a connected and convenient experience. With this new feature, Mercedes comes a little closer to autonomous vehicle management via an ultra-compact and accessible device: the wristwatch.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Mercedes is already working on an update that further enriches this application. Rest assured, this new feature does not replace your public transport or activity tracking apps, leaving you still the opportunity to stay active and move around.
