Tele aid

I just bought a 2008 MB C300 4matic Sport, and am wondering how I subscribe, if that is the term, to Tele Aid. Any advice is most welcome.

JUST CALL TELEAID AKA MBRACE AND TELL THEM YOU WANT TO SIGN UP, MAKE SURE YOUR CAR HAS IT, SIMPLY HIT THE WRENCH OR SOS BUTTON AND IT WILL CONNECT YOU WITH SOME ONE

sorry i had caps on

interesting I have yet to see a w204 in America with teleaid fitted, it almost seems rare. Is teleaid basically the same thing as MBrace now?

I am just learning, and I started off by reading the owners manual cover to cover twice. It is in there it mentions Tele Aid, and wanted some advice from someone with experience with these cars. I appreciate your kindnesses.

Its highly unlikely you have it on your car, it may be listed but its an optional feature, do you actually have tele aid/ mbrace

Good for you being technologically savvy and reading the forums at 65! I wish my family members were as proactive!

My 2001 C320 had Tele-Aid as standard equipment but after the free introductory period expired, the annual fee was about $175.00. Suffice to say, I did not order it for my 2008 C300.

And when the system went digital, and MB generously offered a very expensive conversion kit for the car's analog system. I dropped it.

Your photo is the exact car I bought. Some day I hope to know enough to contribute instead of just asking. Your kindness is appreciated. Thank you.
