Mercedes me remote start stopped working after the free trial

Complimentary period for remote services ended

Remote services such as Remote Engine Start are free for a set period. Mercedes-Benz USA says most remote services stop working when the trial ends, while services that do not expire keep running.

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. Check in the app which services are still active.

  2. Log in to the Mercedes-Benz connect store at shop.mbusa.com/en-us/connect and buy the service again.

  3. Make sure the car has a mobile connection, as the service starts once the car is online.

  4. Allow up to 48 hours for activation, depending on coverage.
