How can I activate/deactivate the Digital Extras? Close

Activation of the Digital Extras generally takes place immediately after they have been purchased. If you have purchased a new vehicle which includes Digital Extras as bonuses, they are available for use as soon as you have paired the vehicle, you have activated the Digital Extras and agreed to the Terms of use of Digital Extras.
Certain Digital Extras require additional information. You can register this in your Mercedes-Benz account in Services Administration: you can access this as soon as you have logged in, selected your vehicle and then clicked on "Administer Services". In Services Administration you can select the Digital Extra, which requires additional information, and register it there. The Digital Extra is now activated and usable.

Deactivation of the Digital Extras also takes place in Services Administration in your Mercedes-Benz account. To do this click on "Administer Services" under your vehicle and select the Digital Extra you wish to deactivate. Then click on "Process > Deactivate service". This is now deactivated and no longer usable, but can be activated again at any time via the same process.

Any obligations to MBT for payment of Digital Extras plus the remaining time of a Digital Extra remain unaffected by the deactivation.

Can I use the Digital Extras immediately after activation? Close

As soon as you activate a Digital Extra in the Mercedes-Benz account your vehicle receives a notification if its mobile data connection is active. Should it not have a connection at that particular time, because it is parked in an underground car park, for example, service activation can be delayed until the vehicle is contactable again. The service status is updated in your Mercedes-Benz account as soon as data transmission to your Mercedes has been completed.

Where can I see the remaining time for my existing Digital Extra? Close

You can see the remaining time for your Digital Extras in your Mercedes-Benz account under "Services Administration", by selecting the respective Digital Extra. You are also shown the duration in the Mercedes-Benz Store if you are logged in with your Mercedes-Benz account and you have selected a vehicle. If you now go to the service pages you see the remaining time for the individual Digital Extras under "Availability for your vehicle".

Can I use the Digital Extras as a used vehicle buyer, too? Close

Use of the Digital Extras is also possible with a used Mercedes-Benz. You must just ensure that your vehicle is unpaired from the Mercedes-Benz account of the previous owner. An authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer will be happy to help you with this. You can then pair your vehicle in the Mercedes-Benz profile and purchase the Digital Extras you would like in the Mercedes-Benz Store. Should there still be active remaining time for Digital Extras of the previous owner you can use these free of charge until they expire. The service durations are displayed for you in your Mercedes-Benz account as soon as you have connected your vehicle.

Can other people also use the Digital Extras in my Mercedes? Close

To do this, in your Mercedes-Benz account go to the vehicle to be used by several people and click on "Administer vehicle > Administer co-users". There you can add new people or delete existing ones. The co-users require their own Mercedes-Benz account and must agree to activation.

You can do this either directly in your Mercedes-Benz account or through your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer. When unpairing is successfully completed the vehicle is no longer saved in your Mercedes-Benz account.
