2012 ML-350 Comand Online?

Okay, this is bugging me

Does 2012 ML-350 comand has online feature?
I am trying to save address book and I can see comand online option but I can access it.
Did some googling, looks like there is a comand online menu under the globe, mine only shows Sirius weather, that's all.
Am I missing something? Did I not do something wrong to activate that?
- Still trying to figure out how to sort Last, First name to First, Last name.
- can I pull up destinations to a saved address or personal POI via voice? Car won't let me do anything in motion and hate not able to pull up saved destination either.... Lame

i believe that command online wasnt available until 2013. Even so, it requires an mbrace subscription to work.

I have MBRACE and there are many features such as sending directions to the Command Online, which tells me Command Online should be in the 2012 version.
there is the globe but I'm not seeing anything else after that.
can anyone confirm that Command Online is not available in the 2012?

mBrace app subscription is different than the regular mBrace subscription. Costs $14.99/mth. But even without it, the apps would still appear on screen. I dont subscribe to apps and they just error out with a message that a subscription is needed if you try to launch them.

Okay, I must be going crazy.....

can anyone with 2012 version of NAV check to see if you have Command-Online in the globe?
all I have is Sirius Weather.

however, I was inside another ML (I'm told it's a 2012) and it had "Command Online" in the globe. I understand you would need MBrace or tethering for it to work but mine is not even an option.
is there a firmware update for my system? Is this an 2013+ feature?

Correctamundo... OP should download COMAND manual for 2012 ML350 from mbusa.com under Owner's Section - you will find that helpful... go thru the COMAND manual with a "I will try this and see it work" rather than "I want to make it do what I want" and there is a LOT of great stuff your unit CAN do.. but you need to "exercise" thru it..
