GPS on App
While using the car locator (GPS tracker) on the Mercedes app., does the car notify the driver while driving? For example, I'm at home looking at the MB EQS app, tracking the car. Does the car tell the driver that someone is on the app tracking them?

Notify how? The location does update while the car is being driven, so you can technically track it while somebody else is driving it. You can also see if it's on. At least with my ICE it shows if the engine is running. I believe they also just brought back geofencing, so if you've setup geofences or enabled valet protect, then you get notifications on your phone when the car enters/leaves the marked areas.

I understood the question being if the driver gets notified when someone else is requesting the car location via the Mercedes Me app. My understanding is that the driver is not notified at all. A bit of a privacy issue although only the owner and (up to 6?) people named by the owner can do it.
I tend to remember an old user manual (2017 W213) talking about a notification but don't think even that car did it.
