Cool.... but I think its still sh** and a bit behind ---- integration could be WAYYY better. But not a bad attempt.

Yeah, a little late to the party but better late then never.

Well said - honestly I would want this in my 2012 if possible and a bit disappointed it wont be there but really, it doesnt look all that great. Definitely like a first version or beta of what it could/should/will be in 2014+. After seeing this, I am less disappointed that we dont have it in 2012.

Don't you have this on the 2012 Comand online ??

Its standard on all 2012 COMAND Online based cars in EU.

Included as an option on the C63 BS.

There was suppose to be a revamp of the COMAND system also but they never showcased it.

I don't understand, it's using your mobile phone for the connection but it has its own 3G modem? So is it using your phone subscription or a separate subscription?

MB seems like it's still behind the power curve when it comes to designing intuitive and attractive UI.

Does mbrace2 have remote start yet? That was the "killer app" that was missing from mbrace for me.

COMAND online - dont think the 2012's have internet capabilities, do they?

Seriously, an $18k Hyundai has remote start app capability. Come on Benz.

MBrace V1.0 Has remote unlock, Im not sure about remote start though.

No remote start for mbrace 1.0. Remote unlock is useless if you have keyless go, since it's impossible to lock your keys in the car.

For remote start, I had to get the mid city engineering car starter, and the compustar drone app for iPhone remote starts. I'd rather pay Mercedes for an integrated factory solution.
