Google Home and Mercedes Me- Remote Start
Is anyone else extremely frustrated with the Mercedes Me app? The stupid thing ONCE had the ability to remote start the car from Google Home but Mercedes Me has since deactivated the feature. Its extremely frustrating since the app takes FOREVER to open up. Furthermore, it sounds like some of the Mercedes owners overseas (outside the US) have the ability to change temperature in the car remotely, activate heater, etc etc. Such SIMPLE easy options that are not activated. Extremely disappointed. Anyone else know if the google home feature will be back? I tried emailing them

Mercedes me is pretty much useless in the US because of the time (>1 min) it takes to start and log in. Sometimes it asks for a pin and other times it wants an email address and a password.

Mercedes Me is a total POS. I can get Amazon Alexa to lock, but not unlock or remote start my E300 ((sometimes...))

For all the bells and whistles at $80,000+ a very sad attempt to the "most technically advanced car" ever built. Only on their sales promos and videos. Sorry for the venting.

I don't have any of these options and my car is well spec'd (COMAND, dual screens, HUD etc), I only learned this after I took delivery that all this is disabled in ireland and the only thing I can do remotely is lock and unlock the doors and check tire pressure etc. I'm fuming. BMW have all this s*it enabled. I wouldn't give up my W213 for anything though, it's a masterpiece of a car, sh*ts all over the 5 series and A6 in every way imaginable.

Mercedes took the remote start function away from Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Whenever I ask Alexa to start my car it says the feature is temporarily unavailable.
I wish they would bring this. back because I used Alexa to start my car all the time.
