Getting you to your winter sports venue via the shortest route while avoiding traffic jams is something that advanced telematics solutions are able to offer. They are available for retrofitting to a number of Mercedes-Benz model series. And entertainment systems for the rear help to ensure that the kids enjoy the journey from the word go too.

The Drive Kit Plus for the iPhone®, together with the Digital DriveStyle app specially-developed by Daimler, enables the seamless integration of the iPhone® 4/4S into the vehicle. Among the highlights are the advanced navigation solution from Garmin®, Google®, online POI search including Street View™ and 3D map view. Further functions include Facebook®, Twitter®, internet radio, AUPEO!™ Personal Radio and the real-time location-sharing system Glympse. Glympse allows you to share your current position in a targeted manner with selected people.

A number of multimedia functions are combined in the Mercedes-Benz telephone module with Bluetooth®(SAP) [1] . The telephone module with integrated UMTS module and direct connection to the vehicle antenna ensures rapid, stable and safe connection of COMAND Online to the internet. It is then possible to simultaneously use Mercedes-Benz Apps whilst also making a phone call. Text messages can also be read out to the driver.

The Becker® MAP PILOT offers a favourably priced navigation solution for the Audio 20 CD. Advantages include integrated operation via the central controller, output of spoken instructions via the vehicle loudspeakers, display on the screen of the Audio 20, well-hidden location in the glove compartment, as well as the ability to update or expand the system via an internet portal.

With the iPad® Rear Integration Plus docking station, integration of Apple's® iPad®, iPad® 2 and iPad® 3 models into the rear of the vehicle is both ergonomic and crash-safe. Furthermore, owners will not have to make compromises in terms of any of their functionality. All connections, such as for the headphones, are still accessible. The holder can be tilted and also rotated through 90 degrees. The integrated USB interface can even be used with the charging cable to recharge the battery of the iPad®.

As an alternative, a portable iPad® Rear Integration kit is also available. This bracket is also suitable for iPad®, iPad® 2 or iPad® 3 and is simply attached to the struts of the head restraints, thus it is also easy to remove at any time.

First-class entertainment in the second row of seats is also provided by the Rear Seat Entertainment System, which, depending on the model series, is available as a portable kit, a built-in fixed kit or as a retrofit kit for the Rear Seat Entertainment System as an optional extra.
