Mercedes me app remote lock and unlock not available

Identity check still needed

For security, Remote Door Locking and Unlocking and some location services need an identity check. Mercedes-Benz says online activation alone does not switch them on.

Is Mercedes Me down right now? Operational: 0 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.
Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Book a visit with your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer.

  2. Bring a valid identity document and the car's registration documents.

  3. Let the dealer activate the services once your identity is checked.

  4. Set a Mercedes PIN in the app under Profile, Settings, since some services ask for it.
