Mercedes-Benz is taking in-car entertainment to a new level by integrating Disney+, the Walt Disney Company’s premier streaming service, directly into its vehicles in the U.S. This seamless integration combines Mercedes-Benz’s advanced MBUX infotainment system with the captivating world of Disney+, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic content, promising an unparalleled entertainment experience for passengers.
Seamless Access to a World of Entertainment: Customers with an active Disney+ subscription can now effortlessly access the streaming service directly through their vehicle’s MBUX infotainment system on applicable models equipped with the MBUX Entertainment Plus Package. This exciting feature will also be available in the all-new CLA, set to arrive at U.S. dealerships later in 2025. Passengers can now immerse themselves in their favorite Disney films and series during their journeys.
Intuitive Interface and High-Quality Streaming: The Disney+ app has been designed for seamless integration into the Mercedes-Benz MBUX infotainment system, ensuring a user-friendly and intuitive experience. Enhanced Viewing Experience: Leveraging Mercedes-Benz’s advanced connectivity, passengers can enjoy high-definition streaming, creating a cinema-like atmosphere, especially when paired with the immersive Burmester® 3D and 4D Surround Sound Systems available in select models. For vehicles equipped with an optional passenger display, the front passenger can even enjoy Disney+ content while the car is in motion, adding another dimension to the in-car entertainment. However, for safety reasons, content on the central multimedia display is only accessible to the driver when the vehicle is parked.
Personalized Profiles and Seamless Continuity: Disney+ subscribers can access their personalized viewing profiles directly within the MBUX system. This allows users to maintain continuity with their viewing habits and preferences, seamlessly resuming movies or shows in their Mercedes-Benz that they may have started watching at home. This personalized experience ensures that every family member or passenger can easily access their own saved content and watchlists.
Mercedes-Benz and Disney+ Collaboration: Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Chief Technology Officer, Development & Procurement, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “We are excited to collaborate with Disney+ to bring a new level of entertainment to our customers. This integration reflects our commitment to enhancing the in-car experience and providing innovative solutions that align with our customers’ lifestyles. With Disney+ on board, every journey becomes an adventure.”
Applicable Models and Requirements: This new Disney+ integration is available on MY24+ E-Class, MY24+ CLE 300 & CLE 450, MY26 C-Class, and MY26 GLC models equipped with the MBUX Entertainment Plus Package. To utilize the Digital Extras, customers are required to create a Mercedes me ID and agree to the Terms of Use for Digital Extras and the Mercedes me ID Service Terms. Additionally, the respective vehicle must be linked to the user account. Please note that an active internet connection is required for streaming Disney+ content.
