E Class Estate S213
Hermes Comms Module

Anybody know where the HERMES Communications module is located in the W213? I still cannot connect to the internet via wi-fi but I have Mercedes Me and live traffic updates etc .
A suggestion in another Forum suggests Module registration fault? May need to suggest to dealer to replace but don’t want whole car dismantling!




Any ideas gratefully received.

I have read in other forums that for you to pair your phone with your car, if you already have the Hermes module, you have to ask your dealer to disable the WIFI and enable the Bluetooth. This is what i have aread... dont ask me how.

2004 ML350
BIG QUESTION: SNCE THE DEALER SAID MY AAM is not communicating and they can not replace it (obsolete), can I replace all my computers with a used set from another car including the key, will that work since everything is synchronized/proprietary. No one in the Dallas area has any good news for me about the 2004 ML350 being able to be repaired. Does anyone have any suggestions, good interior, body, paint, new tires, good engine/tranny but I can't start it or go anywhere?

This question has nothing to do with the Hermes module, neither W213 but the number of control units from a donor car would be huge and many of them are very difficult to access. The donor car options would need to be exactly the same or you would end up version coding anyway.

How come any control unit for a 2004 Mercedes would be obsolete?

so if the the car is connecting to Mercedes Me or Mercedes Me Connect, the module is not the issue as it has established connectivity (think the modem).

So that means, is it still under the allotted time that MB gave you if you purchased the car new or has the "mbrace" expired?
If it expired, did you get the "entertainment" mbrace package which is what allows for the hot-spotting?

A good point this mbrace, perhaps the OP did not mean the current part could not be replaced with a new but same part (which would be obsolete even if new).

I had some oddities on recently buying a '20 E53 with so few km on it that it must have sat for a long time. The Mercedes Me services wouldn't come through and got hung up. It ended up being that the MBUX system needed an update and the services then started to come live, it was still odd, but through a few steps they all became activated.

I can explain further if this is the route, bit the critical step is starting a Mercedes Me support case, they then do what they can or instruct the dealer on how to handle the issue. I would say there's no point in taking it to the dealer till a Mercedes Me case is moving, even for the avoidance of doubt.
