MBUX Dashcam & USB Devices

[Headhurts]

I have a 2021 GLC and following an update to MBUX the Dashcam option is now available for a one off fee of £200.

If I purchase this it will be connected to a 256gb USB storage device, now I also have a USB device connected where my music is stored and I use this regularly.

I wonder if any forum members can help with the following question.

If I am using the Dashcam and recording to the USB can I still access my music on the other device or does MBUX only allow access to a single device at a time?

I have tried forum searches and web search but cannot find an answer.

Can't the dealer doing the install help with the answer?

I’m sure there was a post on here a month or so back where someone was complying that he couldn’t use music when the DashCam was recording as the head unit can only deal with one USB outlet at a time.

Yes I had something in my mind along that line hence my question prior to purchasing this item but I’m blowed if I can find it in searching.

Thanks for the reply.

Assuming you have a USB C port in your car, the same as me.
I use a 128 GB Samsung USB Type-C and created the folders as in the screenshot.

When the 'Recordings' get full delete 70-80% of them or loop recording may say "Not available".
Also, I tried putting Music on a separate USB but I think this having 2 USB's plugged in confuses MBUX !

Thank you for this info it seems the system needs some sort of update as I have 4 type C connections in my car but get limited to using only 1 if I use the Dashcam.

Aye, there are more than a few issues with the MBUX dashcam; why for instance can Loop Recording not start automatically when you turn the ignition on, or at the very least give the command "Hey Mercedes start loop recording" ?

I have just taken delivery of this lovely hybrid car, but have a few design issues that are annoying. 1. Have auto headlight operation and main beam dip, configured to accept right side oncoming traffic. ;issue, every time the headlights come on, the accompanying message is also displayed...
