Remote Parking Pilot
Is this feature not available in the US?
Just added a three year subscription for the feature in Mercedes Me and I just love it.
Never thought that it would be useful, but now that I have it I have changed my mind
It looks really cool when I parallell park the car with my phone standing on the sidewalk, when the parking is done, car turns itself off and locks the doors.

I've only tried a couple times but I have yet to get the "regular" Parking Pilot to work (the one with me in the car). Activates but never recognizes any spaces even when several are clearly available?

I wish this feature was available in the US. When I first saw the new E class, it was one of the first reasons why I got my E300. I hope I can use this feature on my E300 sometime before the lease is up.

My MB sales rep, during the sales process, and months later, the tech guy during the delivery process, said essentially the same thing. "As soon as regulations allow, MB will activate the self-parking feature."
Yet Teslas have been doing this in the U.S. for nearly three years. So I am skeptical about the reason MB claims this feature is not activated in the U.S.

It's a little hard to discern which features they are promising NEW for 2018 or are just listing as already available since 2017. The vast majority of what they list was/is available on the 2017 model. They do clearly say the following is new for 2018:
New for the 2018 model year are the E400 4MATIC Sedan and the most powerful E- Class of all time, the Mercedes-AMG E63 S Sedan.
For 2018, the world's most intelligent sedan offers additional elements of luxury: two new wood trims with matching center consoles, soft-close doors, illuminated door sills with Mercedes-Benz lettering and Active Multicontour Seats with a massage function. The rear seat receives available Rear Seat Entertainment, Comfort Adapter and 3-zone climate control.
The way I read the release (dated Aug 4, 2017) Remote Parking Pilot won't even be available on the 2018 model but will be available "...in a later model year." As I recall that is exactly what they said about Remore Parking Pilot when the released the U.S. 2017 model.
Remote Parking Pilot: For the first time, this system allows the vehicle to be moved into and out of garages and parking spaces remotely using a smartphone app, enabling the occupants to get into and out of the car easily, even if space is very tight. Remote Parking Pilot will be available in the US in a later model year.

So true! And you have to drive slowly and well past a space for it to be recognized by the car. And I've had it find places on the OTHER side of the street! Aside from that, it works quite well. As I've said before, IMHO much of the automated technology being offered in cars today simply isn't ready for prime time.

Tried to parallel park yesterday with remote parking (just for fun)
Car got stuck half way through as it saw the curb as an obstacle...
so a message kept popping up saying "check surroundings"
Though only when I got back into the car I could see what the problem
was on the car screen as the phone does not give any specific info
Pretty w*nk all in all

I noticed parking pilot does not work on my E for perpendicular parking spots, but it picks up parallel parking spots like a champ. Even the tightest parking spots it picks up and parallel parks perfectly if the 2 other cars are perfectly in their spots.
I wish Parking Pilot would use the lines on the road as well as the other surrounding cars.
