That system is one of the most confusing systems I've encountered anywhere. Nobody knows what is actually available. I think they made mid year changes practically every year so there are all kinds of inconsistencies. Have you already downloaded the app and tried to perform remote start?

Take a screenshot of what you see and post it. You should definitely be able to lock and unlock it, and I think remote start.

Hey all --
It's entirely possible that the Mercedes Me / Mbrace coverage for this vehicle is among the coverages that are no longer available due to the 3G cell data network going away, since so many of these vehicles were equipped with 3G capable telematics devices.

We offer some next-level remote starter coverages, and paired with Drone Mobile smartphone control, you'll be back in the game in no time (and with a better and more robust feature set!).

Click HERE to take a look at our coverages.

I had professional installation of MidCity unit in my 2016 S63: works very well! MidCityEngineering.com
Also did BlackVue front/rear dashcams done: highly recommended! Blackvue.com

Installer (I'm in Bay Area of CA) told me prior M-B software didn't handle cellular upgrade to 5G...

i miss putting address or destination in phone app, then downloading to car's GPS, but I was told there's no aftermarket soft/hardware to replace this OEM feature...

Good luck!
