Mercedes-Benz introduces new app for Apple Watch
Mercedes-Benz has announced a new Apple Watch app with a wide range of functionality. The app is available today and includes real-time vehicle information, the ability to lock and unlock your car, and more.
The app allows users to monitor charge or fuel levels, remotely lock and unlock the car, check if the windows are closed, and find the car in a car park using navigation directions. In areas without mapping, users can use a virtual compass to locate the car.
The app is compatible with Apple Watch running watchOS 9 or later and requires the Mercedes-Benz mobile app to be installed on the iPhone. It only works with 2019 and newer Mercedes-Benz models. Mercedes-Benz joins other automakers such as Honda, Ford and Volvo that already offer similar features for their customers.

“This new integration allows owners to interact with their vehicles seamlessly, without needing to access their smartphone,” Mercedes-Benz touts. The main limitation at the moment is regional access.
The Watch app is only available in Europe for now, with releases in the US, China, and the broader Asia-Pacific region coming at some unspecified time in the future.
