cluster mesaege: SOS contract ends soon

for the past few days everytime i start the car, a message pops up on the cluster display: "SOS Contract Ends Soon", so what happens if i dont renew, will it continue to display the message or will it just stop?

im not in the US with a US version ML, so obviously.....SOS/Teleaid doesnt work here.

Take it to your MB car dealer. If you won't renew, I guess it would nag for the rest of its life. So whenever you start the truck, look somewhere else
Enjoy the ride.

Hi Bruno,
out of curiousity, could you use the ML 350 GPS Navigation in the RP ? Some guys from Hong Kong said they could. I've been in Batanga, Manila and Olongapo a few years ago.
Right in the US, I don't use the TeleAid ($25/monthly)
Regards.
