TuneIn Radio Gone
I am seeing on some Googled sources that the disappearance of TuneIn from Internet Radio is a recently-introduced "feature" (bug) that there may be a Service Advisory for. Anyone have any more info?

Missing on my EQE. Dealers tech said, yes supposed to be some info on this from MB "soon"
Very poor customer PR to pull this. I hooked up Android Auto and can get Tunein, but you have to suffer through a minute of ads each time you select a new station.
MB was getting a feed from tunein without these pre-music ads and had to pay for it. No doubt, we will be asked to pay it when it comes back.
Or maybe it was an oops on the last software update and it takes time to fix.
Other than the annoying ads (which apparently I can remove with a direct subscription to tunein), the android auto works well.

I believe a call to customer support is required as many users randomly lost the service. Too bad they are so unhelpful.

If we didn't use those features all the time I'd just let them be dead.

So here's the deal - my Internet Radio service expired - it had a "free trial period", apparently, so it expired 8/31/25. Now that particular Digital Extra is out-of-sync, date-wise, with the rest of my Extras, which expire 3/31/26. I had to renew all of them through 3/31/27 (except the Internet Radio is now good until 9/16/26). Note that "Global Search" was also part of that trial period, so also expires 9/16/26. A little irritating, really, but the car is a long-term keeper so not terribly irritating.

Agreed. I'm pursuing this angle with them - more info as I have it.
