Long story short I found a great deal, I picked this S500 up for $20k. Bank values it at $29.

Yeah! It's got every single option minus the night vision and unfortunately they discontinued Mbrace for this model year. Someone said this is a short wheelbase, which is rare for the US, I'm in Missouri. The carfax did say it was owned in Europe, Canada, Miami, New York now here. I'll take a few pics.

not sure what Mbrace is. Does it have the full spinning tweeter Burmester or just the metal grille in the doors (both are amazing)

Mbrace is the app that used to use but it's discontinued for my year. It's for remote start since there's no button on the remote. So stupid. This one doesn't have the spinny tweeters. I could add those but I don't really want to tear into the door panel removal for this car. I can live without it lol.

Technically you can’t add the real ones because the have a different resistance and need a different amp which would require every other speaker and door panel to get replaced so don’t bother. The base Burmester is PLENTY good haha. But my friends 2014 CLS still works with MercedesMe and has remote start. Check out the Mercedes me app

I MIGHT work I’m not sure. But the app at least will. For like gas level in the car I think. You could always get aftermarket remote start

* Yeah and when I got to this point the other day and called the folks on the 1800 number told me the car had to be 2017 or newer, but folks on here told me to call the dealer and raise hell to get it activated

I’m sure you could use the “I just bought an S class and you can’t even give me an app for remote start. Are you serious?“ Card. That will prob work

My Audi dealer told me my 2019 Audi couldn’t be activated. So I went through tons and tons of back alley websites that are old unused Audi websites and forced activated it myself because it technically wasn’t unsupported.
