I don't think so. Get the app, remote start is like 70 bucks a year and so worth it as it comes with a few other nice features.

I have a 2018 and I don't have the option to remote start, either by key or through the app. Might be a regional thing however (I'm in CH).

Ive been looking into getting the app back since my 5 year trial expired a couple months ago. Looks like it’s 199 a year for the secure package. You have to get either the secure package or the entertain package. They claim there is no way just to get remote start and lock unlock which is all I really need. The entertain package is 18 dollars a month so even more than the secure package @214 dollars a year. There is no basic connect package like what was offered free for the first 5 years at least on my 2018 s560.

They must have changed things up in 2019 because I just paid 65.00 + tax for one year of pretty much every option except nav updates as I don't use the nav very often and it is redundant to Waze.

I logged in to my Mercedes Me account on my computer, and downloaded available map updates (2022) to a USB key and they took 10 minutes to install. I have had my 2019 less than year, and the only money that I have paid so far was $25 for theft tracking.

Ya, the new app which your car uses is better, I have a 2019 that uses the same app and I added just the door lock/unlock feature from the app and I think it was like $25.00 for the year. I dunno why with the 2016-2018 they have to get such big money for any of the functions within the app. Makes no sense. I don't need the Entertain or the Secure packages and the car had just the basic free for the first 5 years, I was getting kinda use to it. Why cant they do that for like 75 bucks a year or something like that? Strange. There is no more Live Traffic on the 2018's or even map updates that I can find. My car still has the 2018 loaded on it that came with the car and no way to update at least according to the dealer, I've asked them a few times about this. Oh well I mostly use google and apple maps anyhow with the apple car play.
