Unlock the full potential of your Mercedes-Benz with Connect+ Services, the advanced digital extension that transforms how you interact with your vehicle. This comprehensive suite of connected features puts unprecedented control in your hands, allowing you to manage key vehicle functions remotely through the Mercedes-Benz app. From starting your engine before you leave home to tracking your vehicle's location, these services enhance convenience, security, and peace of mind.
The Mercedes-Benz app (replacing the previous Mercedes me app) delivers all the functionality you trust with a familiar interface. Available for both iOS and Android devices, it serves as your digital key to accessing an array of powerful connected services designed to make Mercedes-Benz ownership more enjoyable and seamless.
Core Connect+ Features
Connect+ Services come complimentary with new Mercedes-Benz vehicles for the first year. This premium package includes essential remote functions that enhance your daily driving experience:
- Remote Engine Start enables you to pre-condition your vehicle's cabin to your preferred temperature before you enter. Simply activate this feature from your smartphone, and step into perfect comfort regardless of weather conditions.
- Remote Door Lock/Unlock provides security and convenience, allowing you to secure your vehicle from virtually anywhere or unlock it when needed. This eliminates the stress of wondering whether you locked your car after leaving it.
- Vehicle Tracker displays your car's current location on a map via your smartphone, while Parked Vehicle Locator helps you find your Mercedes-Benz in crowded parking areas with walking directions within a one-mile radius.
- Geofencing establishes virtual boundaries and sends notifications if your vehicle enters or exits defined areas—perfect for monitoring shared vehicles or tracking teen drivers. For additional security, Valet Protect alerts you whenever the ignition activates or the vehicle moves from its parked position.
Advanced Navigation & Convenience
Connect+ enhances your navigation experience with several intelligent features.
- Live Traffic Information provides real-time updates and optimized routing to help you avoid congestion.
- Point-of-Interest Download allows you to send destinations directly from your phone to your vehicle's navigation system.
- Online Map Updates keep your navigation current with over-the-air installations that don't affect system performance. The Local Search function lets you easily find destinations via voice command or central controls, while Predictive Navigation suggests likely destinations based on your travel patterns.
For electric and plug-in hybrid models, Connect+ offers specialized features like Programming of Charging Settings, Pre-entry Climate Control, and Charging Stations with Pricing information. Mercedes me Charge simplifies the charging experience by providing access to public charging networks through a single account.
Entertainment & Personalization
Connect+ Services extend beyond practical functions to enhance your overall driving experience.
- Music Streaming and Internet Radio integrate seamlessly with your MBUX multimedia system, bringing your favorite songs and global radio stations into your vehicle.
The Personalization feature allows you to adjust in-vehicle settings such as ambient lighting, mirror folding, and easy entry preferences. For moments when you're charging or waiting, Mini Games provide entertainment directly through your vehicle's touchscreens.
Safety & Support
Beyond the premium Connect+ features, Mercedes-Benz also provides complimentary Connect Services for the lifetime of your vehicle's technology support. These include Remote Vehicle Status for checking mileage, fuel level, and tire pressure, plus Service Management for maintenance reminders and appointment scheduling.
Safety features like Breakdown Management, Accident Recovery, and Telediagnostics ensure you're never without support. The system can even relay your vehicle data and position to assistance centers in emergency situations.
