OTA Updates

Has anyone received any updates over the air? To my knowledge I have not received even one on my 2021 S580.

According to Mercedes Me, our 2021 W213 has had two updates (in addition to maps updates): one for infotainment, one for the communications modem. For the 2022 W223 Mercedes Me reports zero updates, does not even mention any maps updates. I would not bet any of this Mercedes Me data would correct though.

Same here. When i look on app, it says no updates. So not sure if I ever received any updates either. I don’t think I get map updates either, as it shows a new version right now, and it hasn’t downloaded it. (Been about 2 weeks now that I noticed that)

The map updates take a little while to go OTA. In the meantime, you can update over USB.
Based on past experiences, OTAs have been used to address recalls, and sometimes install "infotainment updates" that don't seem to do anything. It remains to be seen if the new MBUX in the S-Class will allow them to provide more meaningful updates.

I did get a map update OTA one time, It mentioned it when I got into the car. Since then, I've updated via USB for the whole US as the OTA only does your area.

My rear tablet had an OTA, I did nothing to make it happen, came on it's own. My car says it is always downloading the latest map update in the background and I don't need to manually update.

Our W213 got another OTA update late November, the W223 has not needed any so far (excluding maps updates). No rear screens on this car.

I believe MercedesMe Connect services are free for 12 months, after which there are annual subscription fees for remote start, OTA map updates, live traffic info, some other items. Maybe $140 year for everything, if I remember correctly.

My 2021 s580 came with 3 yrs free updates/mercedes.me, 2022/2023 may be 1 year.

There was a thread on that; seems it went down to 1 year after 21 or during the 22MY, don't recall if the timing ever got pinned down. I can say for sure that MY23 shows 1 year in my app.

The recall that has been out since July dealing with the SIM, was finally done OTA in my car. Don’t know when it was done. I only know it was done because I checked the NB recall website and now it says Completed…..

Do people like grilles on an EV?

I think it's the last generation of EQs with a grille

It certainly depends if it is aesthetically pleasing, people might.
