2021 GLE 53 remote start not working because alarm active
Haven't been able to use remote start because it says alarm is active. I go into the app to "deactivate" the alarm and it just hangs sending whatever signal and it doesn't deactivate it. Shouldnt it be active all times and when I send remote start, it should start cause the alarm, doors locked etc is active/engaged? I also try to synch and that too just hangs. If anyone knows if I'm doing something wrong please chime in. Figures when it's cold and I want to remote start to heat interior,... It decides to throw nonsensical "Oooo, can't do this because that is active. Turn it off,... Even though you won't be able to"
*insert evil laugh from Mercedes Me*.
thanks. 😭

Delete the app and reload it. I had to do that a few times when mine wasn’t working for remote start. Mine would start the car and then immediately turn it back off. Tech is weird sometimes.
Good luck.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled...stinking thing still says vehicle alarm active. Tried to deactivate (which is illogical) and it just hangs. It's been said many times on different subjects but I'm going to say it anyway. Darn German high end luxury vehicle that we lay $$$ out the anus for and they can't get a stinking app working as it should. Ok ok, granted. Luxury or average vehicle, tech problems happen regardless. Just venting cause this decided to start with nonsense right when the weather changes to cold and I'm looking to remote start and have a warm car when I'm ready to go.

I'd appreciate it if you yell at the top of your lungs with me so I won't be alone in my frustration. 😊
