So the refreshed MBUX will fill the Superscreen that spans the entire dashboard with content, allowing drivers to watch TikTok videos when the vehicle is parked. Passengers will also be able to access, watch other content on a separate section of the screen that will be right in front of them. This screen will have a limited field of view, which means that the driver will not be able to watch the TikToks playing there, so as not to lose his concentration. For supervision there will also be a driver monitoring system that will constantly check what he is looking at.

At the same time, multiple commands will now be linked together, while owners will also be able to create automated routines for the car, such as automatically turning on the heated seats and changing the color of the ambient lighting at the same time every day.
