So I have a 2016 CLA250, I installed apple car play about a year ago, I did notice the sound was different no bass at all. Well last night I was driving and messing around I found how to change the Bass, tremble, and midtones for apple car play.

Connect your phone to the correct USB port (One with the phone tablet icon)

With the scroll wheel click on the bottom left icon, where it shows I believe is 6 or 8 squares, to go to the main app selection.

Scroll right and click on the Mercedes icon

Click down with the scroll wheel, youll see a music note on the bottom right of the screen.

Click on the music note, default it will all be zero adjust to your preference and BOOM sounds adjusted on while using Apple Car Play.

Dont know if its the same for android.

yeah figured this out about a year or so ago when I was wondering why the heck my bluetooth audio sounded better than my android auto/apple carplay. bit of a finicky way to get to the EQ settings and to the sound enhancer settings but at least it's possible.

I am using Android Auto and i don't see the music note. I can get to the music note only if i go into the Radio and Spotify stop playing and the radio start playing.

I only get the music note on the bottom right of my screen if I leave Apple CarPlay, and click on radio after clicking on the Mercedes app.

This is so annoying!!! How is it possible that you can't change the bass/treble while in CarPlay? The bass is so high, that I actually just listen to normal radio because I can adjust bass/treble

Thanks, and I appreciate it. I consider myself decently teck-savvy, and I’ve spent a long time trying to figure out a way to adjust it, but I honesty think Apple/Mercedes just dropped the ball on this one. I don’t know exactly who screwed it up, but one of them didn’t think it through all the way. Good luck to you though, let me know if you do come across anything. I’d love to be able to lower the damn bass on this thing.

Ill mess with it and hopefully I can figure something out. Just two months ago I was able to control the EQ on apple car play. Ill keep you updated.
