Remote start on 2016 GLC

Bought a 2016 GLC and dealer says remote start can't be added anyone have any aftermarket luck or work arounds? I can't believe a 2016 MB isn't capable of remote starting....

MercedesMe should be available for 2016 models, but not on all regions
perhaps you can just download and install the app and try it
as an example, US has it, i believe Canada does not

Thanks, mine GLC doesn't have the 3 buttons that would show it had the ME app, Makes me wonder if I switch out the overhead console what else would be missing to work with the Me app.

If you are in Canada all these features (remote start, etc.) are available only starting with 2019 models.

If you're in the USA, remote start is done via the MercedesMe app on your smartphone. If you bought the vehicle used, you'll just need to install MercedesMe on your phone and activate an account.

Yeah, good luck with that phone app. Mine worked 10% of the time,
Mercedes sent out an email that they are working on it.
