Mercedes-Benz customer service pops up ads in response to navigation: or third-party software pops up
CTOnews.com, Sept. 28, after FAW-Volkswagen was exposed to push pop-up window ads to the central control screen in navigation, another blogger exposed that Mercedes-Benz cars also received similar pop-up window ads, and some bloggers exposed that Mercedes-Benz cars also received similar pop-up ads.
According to Zhongxin Jingwei, Mercedes-Benz customer service said that the Mercedes-Benz system will not insert any ads, and the pop-up window ads must not have popped up by the Mercedes-Benz system itself, but may have popped up with the help of third-party software. According to customer service, if the car owner downloads A software, and A software cooperates with Mercedes-Benz, then all devices that download A software will pop up with advertisements. If you want to refuse to pop up, turn off A software.
According to a report from the new car park, the response they received from Mercedes-Benz customer service was: some events did have pop-up ads, and EQE did have related pre-sale activities, but they did not know that there was a pop-up promotion message for this event. In addition, Mercedes-Benz dealers said that if there is a new car launch push related information, there is no way to block such information.
According to a picture posted by blogger @ Dehalai driver, the Mercedes-Benz's central control screen appears on the top status bar to promote its electric car EQE, and the ad has blocked the navigation below. And the X number used to close the ad is on the far right and is small in size, which can be difficult and distracting if you want to close the ad while driving.
On September 30, the regulations on the Management of Internet Pop-up Information push Service (hereinafter referred to as "Management regulations") will be formally implemented to punish the push of illegal information and standardize the push of pop-up windows. CTOnews.com understands that after the implementation of the regulations, if you need to push information, you should sign a service agreement with the user and obtain the user's consent. If the information is pushed unilaterally without consent, it violates the requirements of the management regulations and violates the user's right of independent choice.
