Question AMG TrackPace App

Hi All, has anyone ever managed to get the AMG TrackPace app to work? I'm in Australia, will a 2018 C43 Coupe. In the support documents for the app, it tells me it should be 100% compatible with my car. I follow the user guide and pair the phone to my car via WiFi, and then it tells me to Authorise Phone. I just don't seem to have an option anywhere on the head unit to do this? What am I missing, it's driving me insane??

I have the option on my car (and paid for it), but the app is not available in the Apple App Store in the US and, to my knowledge, has never been. If MB doesn’t intend to make it available here they should not offer it as an option and charge people for it. Frustrating.

Take a trip across the pond and see whether you can get it here. Else see whether your neighbours up north have it and take a weekend trip...

You can change the App Store's country on your phone and get the otherwise restricted apps.

Hope this helps.

After speaking to the local MB dealer, the app developer and MB Australia, it turns out that although the software is compatible with my car and my car does indeed have trackpace built in somewhere, MB Australia disable it on C43 to encourage people to buy C63s. Swines

That is so stupid and they say it is compatible with all c43s'. I will talk to dealer near me, hope it is not the same in Canada. Thanks for the reply
