Being able to locate your vehicle requires an active Mercedes me account, acceptance of the terms of use of Mercedes me connect, at least one activated digital product in the vehicle as well as activation of the Stolen Vehicle Help service. An e-mail address and telephone number must also stored in the Mercedes me account. The tracking of stolen vehicles is independent of the Vehicle Tracker, which vehicle users can activate or deactivate themselves. The tracking of stolen vehicles on the other hand is started solely by a member of the staff of our authorised partner's security centre at your behest – in close coordination with police. It will be terminated automatically after 30 days if the vehicle does not send a new position for 30 consecutive days. You do not have any information about the position of your vehicle during the search process.

The block button for all keys of your Mercedes
You step out of the house and routinely pat down your pockets. Smartphone, wallet, you've got everything – but where is the car key? Have you misplaced it, or lost it? Or has it even been stolen? The uncertainty makes for an uneasy feeling. Take a breath and deactivate your car key via the Mercedes me App. And once the key has turned up, you can activate it again via the Mercedes me App.
Your advantages at a glance
One click in the Mercedes me App and entering your Mercedes me PIN blocks all your keys and locks your Mercedes. Compatible NFC devices such as the digital vehicle key on the smartphone are also deactivated. The two-stage steering wheel lock provides additional protection. This way you can be sure that nobody moves your Mercedes without you wanting them to.
Case number: solved. To make sure that your Mercedes returns to where it belongs as quickly as possible
Although you cannot keep an eye on your Mercedes around the clock yourself, you can at least rest assured that the necessary steps will be taken as soon as possible in the event of theft. In that case, one thing matters above all: not losing any time and finding out where your Mercedes is as quickly as possible. Our authorised service partner can provide the crucial edge in terms of time. The service partner releases the position data of your vehicle directly to police. As a result, the investigations start immediately even without a court order. And you increase the chances that your Mercedes quickly returns to where it belongs.
Your advantages at a glance
If your vehicle was stolen, you report the theft immediately to police yourself. That is where you are given a case number. You then use the service in the Mercedes me App to contact the security centre of our authorised service partner. Incidentally: if you have an anti-theft alarm system, a message is sent to the security centre automatically. After you have relayed your data, the case number and the relevant police station to the security centre, its employees take care of the further process. They manage the communication with police and provide support for the officers by starting the tracking and transmitting the position data. If your vehicle was located, police can start with the search immediately.
Note on use
This service can be used 10 days after purchase (waiting time). Vehicles that cannot be detected prior to purchasing this service or during the waiting time are not included in this service. It is also recommended that you store an e-mail address in your Mercedes me account in addition to your mobile phone number. This allows you to report a loss even if your vehicle and smartphone have been stolen.
