eqs 580
Internet connectivity
Got eqs 580 from europe exported to saudi arabia, no mercedes me service in my country , car is equipped with LTE module but it is not working here , i can connect to the car through my phone but still i can’t get live traffic updates as well as when i talked to the car for some commands it replies back that the car must be online to answer . Looks like cell phone connectivity is not enough and i should have the LTE module connected to local network which is not avaliable unfortunately , is there anyway other high tech way to overcome this problem and have full online features of the car?

I'm encountering a similar issue; I own a 2022 W206 C200 from Germany, but here in Kuwait, I'm unable to activate Mercedes Me. This limitation means I'm missing out on many features. After some research, I discovered that Mercedes-Me services are not supported in Middle Eastern countries.

No, you can't activate the Mercedes me services on a car from a different region. The MB servers check the VIN and if it's not from your region, then it won't provision the services. European spec cars can only roam the services in Europe. They don't roam into the Asia region. The services only work within the region that the car was originally sold in.
But more importantly, Mercedes me is not available in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in the first place. Only available in the UAE.
