MBRACE: No Remote Start unless you have a 2019
Ok I was getting pinged since I purchased the car to get MBRACE. I asked them what was their standard features and REMOTE Start was one. I missed remote start being on my remote since I had it on every vehicle EXCEPT the two Mercedes I own. Which I thought was kind of odd for such a so called high end car. Well I sign up for 21 months. $207. I download the app and no remote start. I called them today and I am told I have to have a 2019 or newer for remote start to work on MBRACE. I just want to let you guys know if you are considering. I dont see any other benefit of having the service to be honest. It's basically OnStar lite!! I can purchase GM's lowest model and get remote start on a car built back in 2007.

Sad to hear! i was wondering same thing, because it's really convenient! And there's not that much info online about remote start... And their website says that it is available

It is very sad. Especially since other car makers have had remote start for quite some time. I will investigate aftermarket. I just wanted to let everyone know what I found.

I installed this in my 2012 CLS and love it, I did not get the app with it so I can start it from anywhere but I can start my car just by pressing the panic button. one of the best things I installed on my ride https://www.midcityengineering.com/p...er-sksng204d3/

Yes, I've seen that one too, just on all the other cars i had the remote start was around $100 for the kit 
MB definitely knows how to make it complicated... Just like on my other MB - to have a decent upgrade on the audio/command unit you're looking at about 1k.

This is the kit that you'd want (assuming that your vehicle has Keyless Go / Push To Start Ignition). And we're actually on the last 2 days of a Valentine's Day promotion, where you can save 10% the cost of this starter with coupon code HEART10F
If your vehicle is not equipped with Push To Start ignition, we do have coverage for it, but it requires a slightly different process. Please contact us if this is the case, so that we might be able to walk you through how to get this done.
