Amazon Echo/Google Home connect to Mercedes-Benz
Just saw this article on Amazon Echo and Google Home being able to connect to new Mercedes Benz via MercedesMe
http://www.theverge.com/2017/4/21/15...xa-google-home
Anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to do this?
I have an Amazon Echo
I have M-B embrace app
I have a 2017 E300

go to the Alexa app on your phone, then from the menu choose skills, then search for mercedes, and from there, it is a breeze and does it for you

When I first saw this I was ecstatic that I can finally control my E300 from Alexa. But then I set it up and it doesn't work properly. I am pretty sure I set it up correctly because whenever I tell Alexa to do something (Alexa, ask Mercedes Me to start my car) it'll respond with "ok, sending repost start . . . to you're 2017 E300" but nothing will happen. I don't get the text saying the car has started or couldn't start, and when I watch my car nothing happens.
Also this happens with the lock function as well.
UPDATE
It works some of the times like it would in the app. I still do not get a text if the car starts but at least it does work sometimes which is better than working no times.

Has anyone been able to use the remote start via Alexa recently? When I 1st set this up, it worked well. In fact, seemed even faster than when sending a start command via the phone app. However, over the past 6 weeks or so, every time I try to start the car I receive an error. The response is something like (my wife has my car, so I cannot test it right now):
"This command is not currently available through Mercedes Me"
I can lock the car, so I know the Alexa/Mercedes integration is setup properly.
Thoughts?

Mercedes removed this feature from Amazon Alexa. I used to use that almost every day to cool down my car. So far it’s down indefinitely but they say it’s only temporarily removed. So I’m not sure what to think of it. I’m just assuming the worst that it won’t ever come back to Alexa

I don't think I would use one in a workplace. For me I prefer it at my home to use that stuff so I don't look like a total dick
