Mercedes me connect iPhone version
Trying to determine latest version number of Mercedes me connect app from Apple App Store ( for GLC 300 4matic SUV). Believe app shows version 3.0.1 (874). It appears via version history that it was released about one week ago with minor bug fixes & addition of Valet Protect feature.
The Mercedes me app on my PC has disclaimer:
"The Doors and Windows, ECO display and Geofencing services are no longer available here. They are now part of the new Mercedes me 2020 App, which you can download from the App Store or Google Play Store."

v3.0.1 is the latest. In the USA, they kept the name of the app and just updated it to v3 a little while ago and v3.0.1 was a recent update with bug fixes and adding Valet Protect back. In other markets they've released the app under a new name and with all the features. I'm not sure why, but for some reason not all the features have been rolled out in the USA yet, and the web portal is in disarray. I still can't do manual map updates. I've seen that disclaimer as well referring to Mercedes me 2020, which is what the new app is called in Europe, but here in the USA it's still called Mercedes Me connect. I've sent their support a stern email pointing out all the issues and that the features they claim are now in the app are missing in the USA market. It's somewhat of a mess right now. Supposedly they are in the process of cleaning house and finally make this stuff work properly, but I'm guessing it's gonna take a while. Whoever developed all this stuff in the first place did not do a very good job, and it seems a different team has taken over to turn this into something that actually works properly, but I guess we have to hurt through the transition phase for a while. The good news is the updated app so far works much more reliably than the old app, even though it's missing some of the features for now.

I just installed the new app "Mercedes me AM" in Canada app store last week. It seems pretty much the same other than some UI changes. But yes, it shows Starter Battery under Service menu, not sure if it did the same in the previous app.
