What do you guys think about the Tele Aide upgrade? At the end opf the month the analogue system is supposed to be put to rest and unusable. 900.00 for the upgraded Tet Aide and 1500.00 for the lifetime purchase with no annual fees.

 

Not worth it.

 

Just got the letter for my car. Ridiculous price. ANd they have ***** asking us to pay for their antique technology. This should be free from MB.

 

dude that is some S**t my H2 dealer just sent me a letter that there upgrading their system as well yet it will only be like 15$ with a one year renewal. MB has lost me with the service my brother has a 754Li and loves the service from bmw. and i love mb just hate their service.

 

I had to spend several hundred dollars a few months ago to upgrade my 2002 Mercedes S500's analog internal phone system to a digital. Actually, the dealership tried to charge/gouge me around $1,500 for this service by telling me that I would have to replace the wiring inside my car. I found out through self research on the internet that all I needed to buy from this same dealership was a $350 puck that would receive my phone's bluetooth signal. The dealership never shared this information with me, even though they had the puck in their inventory! Now I receive a mailing stating that my Tele-Aid system is also about to become defunct! My local Mercedes dealer would again like to gouge me for almost $700 in parts, plus $300 for the installation! Instead of taking care of their customers, Mercedes Benz is instead trying to capitalize from a bad situation in which they were the cause by knowingly allowing outdated equipment to be installed in their newer model vehicles. None of this seems legal to me.. I did a google seach on the subject and found a CA lawyer that is conducting a class action law suit. I signed up and am anxious to hear what he has to say about all this.

 

WOW, thanks for the information. MB can be whack with the prices and willingness not to share pertinent info. I would love to hear back from you about the class action.

 

The CA lawyer called me today at my business and wanted my input. She said that they are compiling information to proceed with this case. They know that the Tele Aid system will be cut off shortly and realize that they will have to make the case happen soon in order to help their clients. She requested that I fax a copy of my letter from Tele Aid for them to review. It sounds as if they are gong to be aggressive with this litigation. I suggest that everyone get on board and provide this law firm with as much information as possible. If not, we may all be left in the dark with only a steady lit error message on our dashboards as the light to lead us to our local Mercedes dealer for a proper reaming!
