Mercedes-Benz Companion Reviews

by Bgar92

They really need to update MercedesBenzCompanion , it was great at first but only a few weeks in it no longer sends the address to the car. Also what’s really frustrating is I’m constantly having to reconnect via Bluetooth. It should automatically connect when I turn on the car but I’m having to manually connect my iPhone every time I get in the vehicle. I have disconnected and reconnected my phone through MercedesBenzCompanion several times with no success. Very annoying!!

Not compatible with a 2018 GLS.

Had to call to find out after endless resets of Comand.

They want to force you to use the Mercedes Me app which needs an account, weeks to activate, and sends continuously info to Mercedes.

The companion app was easy to use and helped greatly with sending map info to your Mercedes which is a must for a car manufacturer that doesn’t use touchscreens like Volvo for example.

Getting an address into the navi is a pain in the bottom.

Apple CarPlay doesn’t work wirelessly and simply deactivates the internal navigation system.

Who came up with this silly idea?

All in all not happy with Mercedes. Getting a Volvo next.

The application is not compatible with the new 2019 C-Class sedan. Although, I knew it the moment I paired my phone to the car.

Also the application asked me to update to the new version the moment I opened it, yet there is no update available..

Can you please do an update that works with the new models

I have the Mercedes Me App.. seems to works great. It will remote start my car, lock and unlock doors and seems to do what it’s supposed to. MercedesBenzCompanion I don’t understand why nothing works. I can look up an address but when I click to have said address sent to the car it always gives me an error. Would love to get that issue fixed because it would be so helpful. I hope you take the time to fix your app so it works the way it’s supposed to. Thank you.

It’s been a year since the iPhone X has been released but MercedesBenzCompanion still doesn’t support it’s screen. Please update it. Also, the Apple Watch app doesn’t work on watchOS 5. It’ll be nice if you update that too. As a Mercedes customer, this isn’t too much to ask.

MercedesBenzCompanion is not functioning properly on iOS 11.0. MercedesBenzCompanion lagging badly when connecting to the car 2016 C300. The lag caused unable to type and send location to the car. Hope you guys can fix it soon. Thanks.

Nice app but I wish it can switch to the metric system in the settings.

Also doesn’t always send the address correctly from google maps and doesn’t always read my calendar correctly.

I love MercedesBenzCompanion it made me fall in love with my Apple watch again. Everything works except the gas ⛽️ indicator or readings. It does not appear on the phone nor watch.
If you can fix that it would be lovely. Thanks😉

Don’t get why MercedesBenzCompanion is not
Integrated with the other MercedesMe. This
One has feature like gas meter, tire pressure among other Features the Other app Is lacking. My other car is a Tesla and MercedesBenzCompanion is excellent.

I happen to like MercedesBenzCompanion. Yep can be a bit quirky at times but away sends address info to my car when needed, keeps previous destinations and locates my car. However upon getting a new iPhone 11 I had to delete and add back to recognize the fuel level and tire pressure.

I just recently bought a used Mercedes, and it happened to be compatible with MercedesBenzCompanion. I read a bunch of the reviews and had pretty low expectations. I don’t know if I’ve just been lucky or if the updates have fixed the problems people have had, but the experience from my end has been flawless. I love being able to send an address to my car. The other features are neat, but not nearly as useful to me, but the ability to send destinations to the car before I even get to the garage makes this the best way to use a car’s gps. The only thing I would like to see is some integration with Siri. It would be great to pick up my phone and say, “hey Siri, tell my Mercedes to take me home” but tbh, things work pretty well already.

Hi, your app is wonderful and I can use it for my car even outside the US. However, is there a chance to support the metrics system in km and liters instead of just miles and gallons?
