2024 S63e Performance and Digital Key
Does anyone know if there is special hardware required to set up a digital key on my iphone for my 2024 S63 e Performance? I've read the instructions. The first step is to select 'Digital Key' in the Mercedes Me Connect app. The issue is, there is no Digital Key option in Mercedes Me Connect for me. Based on what I've read, it looks like any 2024 Mercedes should be able to set up to use a digital key but I've not been successful doing so. Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be offered.

Yes, it does. It requires a newer generation of key fobs that uses UWB (Ultra-wideband) and NTG 8. Currently only the W214 has it. For the digital key in other models that are based on the electrical architecture before the W214 you'll have to wait for the facelift. The W223, W206 and C236 don't have it. Even though the C236 (CLE) just came out, it is based on the W206 and W223 electrical architecture. You also need a phone with UWB support, iPhone 11 or higher.

Deleted mine
Deleted my Digital key as I walk the dogs passed my car several times a day, was not keen on door handles popping out unnecessarily. I might be old school but have gone back to just the key. I also had an issue my 12v battery not staying charged as I suspect the car was awake all night talking to my phone. I am ok with this as not all advances are good ones 😀
