Here at Mercedes-Benz's CES keynote (it's first), the creator of the automobile just unveiled the successor to its telematics system: mbrace2. This second generation builds upon [last year's release](http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/08/next-generation-mercedes-mbrace-iphone-app-hands-on-video/), focusing heavily on adding social media into the mix with app support like Twitter, Facebook and Yelp -- much in the vein of BMW Apps and [Ford SYNC AppLink](http://www.engadget.com/tag/ford+sync+applink). Rolling out first in the 2013 SL and later eventually to all US models, CEO Dieter Zetsche also mentioned it'll also update itself, as lets face it, visits just to the dealer just for new functionality just doesn't cut it. Stay tuned for a hands-on from the show floor.**Gallery: [Mercedes Benz CES keynote](http://www.engadget.com/photos/mercedes-benz-ces-keynote/)**
