2015 C63s too old for Mercedes me
Hello,
I’ve had my car for over a year now. It is a 2015 edition 1. After I bought the car I found out about Mercedes’ me and using it for remote start. Well the app never would accept my vin. I’ve called the support number to having the dealership update the software. End of story is they told me 2015 is the only year they don’t offer the Mercedes’ me anymore. That I have to buy a 2017. If the app support can’t help me out and the dealership can’t figure this out then Is this true???

*****Dunno if it is true or not but I have a 2018, pretty much loaded (I'm the second owner), and bought 4 years of the Mercedes Me thing, and other than telling me I have XX number of miles to go until my car runs out of gas I can't get most of the features to work. Lock/Unlock, Remote Start, Location, etc.. It doesn't work for me. I'll be asking for a refund in my case as it seems like a waste of money to me at this point. I've been "verified" as the new owner, so it does know I am the new owner, but other than cashing my checks, it basically does not work for me.
Perhaps others have better experiences but I am not impressed and would rather use the money I spent on that service for other stuff with tangible benefits like hookers, video games, Beanie Babies, a Ukrainian bride or whatever... etc..

It took a while for me to get the service set up. I had to call Mercedes a couple of times and it was a bit of a headache, but it has been working fine since they activated it.

I also have a 2015. Apparently it’s the only year of the W205 line that uses the “old” Mercedes me platform and the functionality is limited compared to newer models. For example, I can locate my vehicle and lock/unlock it, but it doesn’t have remote start.
