The Mercedes me Adapter App is the only app to use with the Mercedes me Adapter. Other Mercedes me apps concern vehicles that are already produced with built-in communications module and are therefore not compatible with the Adapter. The functions of the apps may vary as both solutions are based on fundamentally different technologies.

The general difference between the Mercedes me Adapter and the Mercedes me connect vehicles is that the Adapter communicates with the smartphone via Bluetooth® and does not use its own SIM card. If the vehicle ignition is switched off, the Adapter is not active, meaning that Remote Services such as opening and closing of the doors or programming of the auxiliary heating are not possible.
