Mercedes instructions for "Toll-Gate Feature Set-up and Activation" latest version of MBUX. I was told by my MB rep they just approved it for W223. Note: IT IS SET UP IN THE CAR.

I have not had a chance yet to try this yet and have read that there are no "discounted" tolls when using this. There may be some other requirements such as credit card linking and yearly subscription fees

Let us know if it works please (Sorry for the scan quality)

Thx. Funny I was told by my MB SA on last Thursday that the toll feature was not yet available.
Where did you find that doc?

I believe it is available. You pay payviam like 15 a year and of course the regular tolls. Convenient. I believe works throughout USA.

cheenuabc

their tolls are the highest that you will pay, rip off

Interesting so they can charge their own higher rates?

From MB dealer tech that was assisting in setting up the MBUX recently so I assume its legit.

I too would like to find out if they overcharge for this Toll service before implementing. If so, I'll just stick the EZ Pass transponder I have under a plastic panel somewhere. I don't do much "over the road" travel but could see this would be worth while if you did.

Looks like full non-discounted in-state rate on PA EZ Pass. Other states get charged out-of-$tate rates and a couple don't. No mention of a service fee per-toll from Payviam except for the yearly $20 fee of course and $50 start-up balance requirement. I haven't updated my old PA EZ Pass so I'll probably give give this a try.

Tried to set up in toll app the driveway. Couple of things working against me including lack of IT technical prowess.

1st issue my Verizon Android phone keeps wanting to connect to wifi thru the MBUX of which I don't have a MB hot spot subscription. Had to force the phone to re-connect with the house wifi. Funny how my phone normally has wifi hotspot but gets denied and says it doesn't have it when I'm in the car. These are ongoing issues I need to work out.

2nd issue was I got stalled at the toll app set up payment method screen in the car. Phone read the QR code & tried to connect via MB me Connect, saw the black MB me screen, then bounced right out to a blank white screen every time. May be related to the default Firefox browser on my phone. May try Chrome.

Possibly related was I installed the MB Finance app to set up a payment method there. Had to enter some personal info and the app said it would contact me when approved. I'm assuming MB is running a credit check for any future payments made there perhaps.
