    Mercedes me app. Is not available in my country, my MB W213 is equipped with LTE Communications module, is there anyway or any device to connect a normal SIM card signal to the car?

      Only by enabling "Engineering Mode", which can be enabled in some countries, but not the UK (without specialist equipment).

      @@amohsen9848 I don't know because I cannot enable it. But search Google. Many people have done it. When you enable Engineering Mode, you can turn on "Tethering", which allows you to use your Phone's internet.

    Great info many thanks. Do you buy an unlimited data plan ?

      I have a 40GB a month plan with EE. I occasionally use it for Android Auto which has Spotify. But in the main, I use the DAB radio. Basically, I am not using the "in car entertainment" and the "Comand Online" to its full potential, because I am limited by the 3G telematics module. In other words, it looks nice - especially the 2 x 12" screens ... but I cannot do much with them with no internet.

    Good to hear you’re enjoying the car I had similar rubbish internet WiFi in my q7 but it’s 3 yrs old. I’d hoped it was now better. I’m getting an e53 amg coupe March 1st so checking out every single aspect. I love the internal design and external look of eclass, from sounds of it other than internet you’re impressed?

      The car is awesome, inside and out. It is only the connectivity that is poor. I bought the March 2018 model which had 3G. Three months later (June 2018) they updated the E Class model's telematics module to 4G. I wish I knew, as I would have waited. So the connectivity/stability issue above shouldn't be an issue on E Classes from June 2018 onwards. That said, you still need to pay for in-car internet, and there is still no way to use your mobile phone's internet. The workaround is to use Android Auto or the Apple equivalent (which it has) - but it is not that great.

      @Peter Van den Berg No cracks, but starting to crease on the bolster. But I see that on all drivers seats after a couple of years of wear.

      @@WelshWilts I have W213 April 2018 imported from Germany, but in internet status it shows 4G sometimes and 3G, does that mean I have the 4G module? The car is equipped with LTE module but the Mercedes me services are not available in my country, any other solution to connect to the internet? Some people recommend to try rSAP Bluetooth but I'm not sure, appreciate your thoughts.

      @@amohsen9848 Yes, that means you have a 4G/LTE telematics module installed. In UK, they added the 4G version in June 2018. The only way I know of is via Mercedes Me.

    did you try to move somewhere you got a better signal?

    • @WelshWilts
      @WelshWilts  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I travel 80 miles per day. Location didn't make a difference. My trial "Internet in the Car" with Vodafone expired after a month. I didn't bother renewing it, as it was not fit for purpose. 8 months later, I no longer think about all the stuff that doesn't work.

    Can tell me how is engineering mode?

    • @WelshWilts
      @WelshWilts  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I cannot say for the rest of the world. But in the UK, Engineering Mode is inaccessible by the customer. It can only be enabled using Xentry by the dealer.

      2017 E300 once my Mbrace service expired Navigation voice commands stopped. If I tried to enter a location addresses across the country 300 plus miles would pop up. Very dissatisfied with Mercedes.
