Mercedes Me Connect Subscription

For $150 annual, does anyone find this useful or worth the money? I understand that if your vehicle is stolen, the tracker is priceless (hopefully if they find the car in one piece). As for the other features, it seem that your phone can do the rest aside from remote lock/unlock.

If you want to remote start, valet geofencing, change settings remotely, access to trip data remotely, get notified if battery is low, get notified when you forget to lock the vehicle, unlock when accidentally locked the key in the car, send destinations to vehicle remotely, etc.

With the electric vehicle like the EQS, shows the range, charging stations, charge level, pre-set conditions, pre-set departure time, pre-entry climate control (similar to ICE's remote start but no engine of course), I guess pre-heat the battery (?)..

The annual subscription in Canada, for my vehicle, includes:
- Vehicle Tracker
- Theft Notification & Parking Damage Detection
- Stolen Vehicle Help
- Geofencing
- Remote Vehicle Finder
- Remote Door Lock & Unlock
- Personalization
- Vehicle Locator
- Car-to-X Communication
- Parking for Navigation
- Online Map Updates
- Satellite images
- Local Search
- Weather Map
- Live Traffic Information
- Online Routing
- Global Search
- Weather forecast
- Radio Service Following
- Augmented Radio
- Online Music
- Internet Radio
- DIGITAL LIGHT Animations
- Sound Experience
- Minigames

You never know when you might like to have one of the features, and a single item cannot be purchased. No particular standout, but as a package it is why not. Paid a gazzilion dollars for the vehicle, so a few hundred additional per year it is affordable.

It's an emphatic yes. Besides the many reasons already given, you can also typically get a one-month free trial before committing to an annual or a $15/month subscription. That’s exactly what I did for my 2023 vehicle when its initial complimentary period ended.

There are simply too many bundled features I would miss if I didn't have the subscription. Even though I probably use only about half of them—perhaps even fewer—the features that are important to my preferences are too critical for me to go without.

I get about $15/off my annual car insurance bill for having the tracking.

And I honestly didn't realize (a month into ownership) that I could watch YouTube videos in the car without having my smartphone in the car, nor being connected to my home wireless. My wife was in the grocery store and I was sitting in the car watching Throttle House.

YouTube in the car is dependent on a cellular service in the car that is not provided in all countries, or is a separate subscription. Great if you have it for free.

In the USA, it's part of the Connect Subscription, as noted in the Video Streaming description:


T-Systems North America appears to be a part of the T-Mobile family.

I know this is a bit of an old thread, however- has anyone compared the experience of using the MBZ streaming services with the 4G module vs. the newer 5G module?

my screen shows 5G often, so i guess i have it, car is EU cpo also came with free connect package for a year, few months ago i was heavy on native tidal online music streaming but then i noticed every end of month i got data throttle (prob due to in car vodafone) so switched to bluetooth streaming now, rather than 5g i would love to have offline hifi in car streaming if tidal auto would let me download, so lets say any app should use some internal/external disc space to auto download your subscribed music/podcast/videos etc on scheduled time without waking up other comps. that you can monitor disc space on car, but i gotta admit leave alone disc space and data usage monitoring my info section is the worst on entire mbux, knowing what amount of data being used for what would be a dream
