I purchased a b class about 2 weeks ago and I still can't get the VVC to sign up for the online car owners site. I have been getting a lot of run around but no clear answers why. My sales man told me there is some issue with the website. He claims the sales manager is working with the head of MBUSA towards a resolution and to sit tight. It may be total fluff or there could be a bigger issue that has been unresolved.
I follow a lot of security sites and smart tech sites. The latest thing is that a lot of smarter cars can be hacked. Some with just a text message. I have not heard any talk of Mercedies being effected but there is very little talk of the B class anywhere.
My theory is that the B class site uses third party code in there software for some or all of the smarter features. They are working resolving the security issues in that code and that is why I can't get a VVC.
It's a theory totally unconfirmed.
My guess is the new software may address security issues if they exist.
Does the site have any release notes? They might hold some clues as to what this update addresses.
I believe MB uses open source software so the raw code is available online. Which is a good and bacd thing.
My advice would be the same for this software as my advise on any new version of software. Wait to update for a little while. Watch forums for posts from other users who have updated to see if others have issues created by the update.

- Start Date 2015-08-06
- Campaign Number 2015070002
Does anyone know what this concerns?

I use the MBrace app, and the My B-Class app, and have registered and looked around the new Mercedes Me website (linked from another site that described it as "Owners Online." I haven't found a place to see "Campaigns." Can you provide some more information about this location?
Thanks.

I just went to log in to Owners Online and found that the entire site has been replaced and is now called "Mercedes me". I can't find the "Campaigns" link anymore.
