EQS 580
Remote Parking / Active Parking
I tried searching the forum but couldn’t quickly find what I was looking for. My EQS 580 will be arriving from Texas to Florida in a few days. I’m familiar with some features from my W213 E53, but I haven’t had any experience with remote or active parking.
From what I’ve read, remote parking should work with the mobile app. Our garage is quite small since the house was built in the '90s. The EQS will just fit, with about 5 inches of clearance at both the front and back. There’s a freezer against the front wall, so it’s going to be a tight fit!
Remote Parking
Can I use the remote parking feature with my cellphone to have the car back out even if there's only 3-4 inches of clearance between the mirror and the outer wall?
Active Parking Memory parking assistant
Would such a narrow spot work for active parking, or does the system require a minimum clearance of xx inches?
Has anyone here used those features?
Thanks!

Remote Parking is not available in the USA. It's actually a separate app and MB USA is refusing to support the app. At least that's the last information I have. Active Parking, if by that you mean the car parking itself while you are in it, that doesn't work for a garage. Only works for parking between two other cars, either parallel or perpendicular. It doesn't work between a curb/wall or other barriers and yes it has a minimum clearance requirement that in my experience is bigger than I need to park myself, not that I make it a habit to park in tight spaces. For active parking you have to drive past the spot so it can measure it, so unless your driveway is perpendicular to your garage, it wouldn't work anyway. It doesn't work if you drive straight up to a spot and then expect it to park between two other cars. You have to come alongside the row of parked cars until it detects a wide enough gap and then it maneuvers the car into the gap by making a 90 degree turn into it.
To be honest, I used this maybe twice in the last 5 years for ****s and giggles to see how it works, but at the end of the day I park much faster myself. Especially parallel parking on the street doesn't really work if there's other traffic. By the time you drove past the spot so it detects the gap, you have the car behind you breathing down your neck. It did come in handy at one point when I had to parallel park at night on a residential street and it was so dark that I couldn't make out the curb on the 360 camera. It got me in the spot perfectly.

Thanks superswiss.
No app no, function. I get it. I know, the parallel parking feature is very slow. But I was thinking about memory parking assistant - I unfortunately asked that incorrectly.
