Can mbrace be added to 2011 C300 without mbrace?
Question for everyone here, my dealer apparently is too busy to figure this out for me.
I bought a 2011 C300 Sport without mbrace, I was wondering if it can be added since it's just a module... if I wanted to can I have mbrace added to my car? Or was it something that had to come already installed and cannot be added by the dealership even after I get the car.
I'm not really sure I want it (and they didn't have any cars around that had mbrace in them in my color and configuration) but if it can be added by the dealer after the fact I might consider it.
Thank you

Unfortunately it cannot be added, even though it's only a module if it's not ordered from the factory the wiring is also missing and also the antennas the mbrace system needs.

Oh well... I guess i don't really need remote lock/unlock.. That's all I really wanted it for. They didn't have any 2011 C300's in the states with mbrace already installed in my configuration so I skipped it. Otherwise I would have had to order from the factory and waited months to get the car.
Thanks for the info!

I'm in the same boat...we ordered the car from NJ so I never saw it until it was delivered. They couldn't find the options I wanted, so I just settled. I REALLY wanted the mbrace because I live in an area where sometimes there is no cell coverage at all. They told me the same thing. Seems very unfair =(

You just made my day =) I thought it was satellite based, which is why I wanted it so much! Certain carriers work in certain areas (so I have two carriers for that reason), but there are dead spots where nothing works - I guess it's time to pack some heat! Hah. I'm a paranoid safety freak...but I grew up in Miami, so that probably explains a lot.
