eqs 580
Internet in the car
Got eqs 580 from europe exported to saudi arabia, no mercedes me service in my country , car is equipped with LTE module but it is not working here , i can connect to the car through my phone but still i can’t get live traffic updates as well as when i talked to the car for some commands it replies back that the car must be online to answer . Looks like cell phone connectivity is not enough and i should have the LTE module connected to local network which is not avaliable unfortunately , is there anyway other high tech way to overcome this problem and have full online features of the car?

Not really. Mercedes me is not supported in all markets. Even if you could get the HERMES module provisioned in Saudi Arabia you'd still have to get Mercedes to let you create an account on Mercedes me connect and provide you with a license for the various services. All the services are subscription based. A 3 year subscription used to be included with the purchase of the car, but starting with model year 2021 it was reduced to 1 year. Either way, if Mercedes is not selling subscriptions in Saudi Arabia, then you are essentially stuck. Getting the LTE radio online isn't gonna help you if the services on the other end don't exist or you can't get a license for them.
