No Send2Benz?

Had my free mbrace trial activated for about three weeks now. This is a '14 E350.

Nowhere in the Mercedes Me app can I find send2benz.

Also in the FAQ online it describes how to set up Google Maps to send directions to the car. When I go to add the car, Mercedes isn't even listed in the drop-down list of manufacturers.

Everywhere I look for help, says go to www.send2benz.com for help. Of course, the send2benz website is DOA.

Is this a real thing?

If it matters, for some reason I still also cannot connect to any data functions on mbrace (Mercedes Apps, etc).

I have had a raging sinus infection for about two weeks now and the thought of having to sit in the car and converse with someone on the other end of the "i" button is repulsive...so I figured I'd bug you guys with it.

Good question...I am having my trial activated this weekend; hopefully you get good answers that'll help us all :-)

Wow, nothing? No one's even noticed the website is down? Mustn't be all that useful of a feature.

Don't feel bad. I posted a thread, and got 100 views, but only one response. Guess that's the way things are around here

ha ha, come on bro, you posted in the mid of the weekday, and people are getting ready for long weekend too
I haven't even got a reply on the color combination for the wheels thread, for my not-so-popular Diamond Silver Metallic.

Moreover, W212 is a Family Sedan, compared to 2dr coupe, sports/track vehicle, where the audience are different and the responses will be pretty quick.

For instance, the responses on FZ6 are very slow, compared to responses on R6 Forum, FWIW

I might plasti dip pearl white (Lexus or Ducati white) for body and glossy or matte black for the wheels, with this neochrome lens protection.

I'm not sure about this neo-chrome, but, hope to someone's car in person. Even if I don't like it, I'll lose only 30$, but I can take lots of pics for memories and future references.

Eminent White Pearl, in Lexus's language.

I activated my trial today and everything seems to be working. Albeit the app and the in-car connection is very slow (i.e. locking the door and flashing lights takes about a minute or two for signal to reach car)...but it works. I see the Send2Benz option, haven't tried it yet though.
