Speaking as one who has Tele-Aid in my '01 C320 which was standard equipment, I notice with disgust that MB has made it an expensive option.

Since the annual fee is about $275 with zero talk time, I've decided that when I am able to place an order for a W204, Tele-Aid won't be on it. I have had no occasion to use it in the 4.5 years I've owned the car and I think my cell phone is a good substitute.

If my unit has to be converted to a digital unit to continue working, MB better damn well be paying for as a subscriber. I can't wait to hear from them.
