PURCHASING S560
Thanks to all on this Tread
I've been lurking here since I ordered my first MB, an S560 last June. Just got the car today from Escondido MB, who sent someone up to LB to drive the car down to Escondido.
I'd like to thank all on this site who guided me for my first ever MB order. Steamliner recommended that I go for the 18" wheels, for added comfort, and others have counseled me re: the many options. Many thanks to all of you for your advice and knowledge. Can't wait until I can replace the RF tires with better riding conventional tires.
I'm now in the "learning stage" for all the many options and alternatives.
Many thanks to all of you. Hope I can contribute in the future.

[QUOTE=salamigs;7579023]It gets better for the 2019 MY owners (I have a 2018). I am assuming we are talking about the phone app Mercedes Me. On the 2018 MY, you get the regular Mercedes Me app, with location, send2car, remote start, remote lock/unlock and remote horn/lights. There are some other features that pretty much lets you know if the vehicle has ignition on during specified times, if it goes over a set speed, or if it goes beyond a set perimeter etc. So far so good.
Now if you have 2019 MY, you get to download a different app called "Mercedes Me Connect" ... In addition to the above, it lets you read the odometer, fuel level, remaining range, next service date, vehicle status (engine on/off, locked/unlocked, individual tire pressure, battery condition, brakepad states, brake fluid level and many other things. And on top, it also has n Apple Watch app (regular Mercedes Me does not, as far as I can tell). Sadly I cannot use this one, as it automatically directs me to the regular Mercedes Me app, but I am looking forward to hearing from you all as to what else it has...

Mercedes is going to have 3 telematics providers now...Tele-Aid, Mbrace and now, MB Connect ( I wonder who is running the back end for them now?). No brand or company is listed in the current Terms of Service.

ETA: website and phone number still works
https://www.connectedvehicleservices.com/
Somebody answered when I called today.
If MB Connect was part of Mbrace, why would Verizon allow their competitor access to the customer data?
,
If you look on MB USA, Mbrace and Mbrace Connect are 2 separate entities on the website. Mbrace still refers to Verizon for <2018 models in the TOS. Mbrace Connect is for all 2019 models and doesn't refer to Verizon as the provider so something has changed between Verizon Telematics and MB USA.

Katherine, how did you get that picture on your multi media screen with all those apps? Is that from your smart phone by using bluetooth?

At the time when Mercedes transitioned to mbrace, existing tele-aid subscribers were given the opportunity to purchase a lifetime subscription for less than twice the annual fee. In addition, this subscription is transferable to other Mercedes vehicles for life. It covers the basic services as well as stolen vehicle locator. I have this lifetime subscription. Unfortunately, I doubt it will ever become available again.

This picture is off my iPhone...
Send2Benz was on my MercedesMe app until the new car came along. Now it's not an option.
I just realized MBConnect is something that supposedly has to be set up at the dealership (or approved) on site. They are telling me to go in person and then they can do it and I can get Send2Benz back (as well as traffic info, which I also don't have right now). Ironically, I have been trying to avoid the dealership entirely (my SA brought the car to me to my office and took away the old one). It was a super experience and so so convenient. I am going to see if they can activate it for me without me having to drive in and waste and hour or two. Seems silly.
So I am thinking the reason part of the stuff is disabled is because it says "activation in person required with photo ID." LOL.

Anyone know how to increase the volume on my cel phone calls. When I hit about 70, I am straining to hear the call. I have the setting both in the car and on my cel at max.
Will try calling Mecedes Connect right now to see if they can set me up. Taking her for a spin to LA later tonight to see the parents and some friends...
. First long drive.

Congratulations! It looks gorgeous. Cannot wait to see it. I love the interior. Kinda wish I changed up my interior even though I really like the combo. It just doesn't feel that diff from my previous car...
