Teleaid - can it be disabled? and price

[cubanbaptist]

The lcd screen in the E320 shows 1 malfunction - that teleaid is not registered. I understand that the system is designed to show this.

If someone doesn't want to subscribe to that, can it be disabled by the dealer? Seemed expensive - $200+ per anum just for airbag deployment notification for emergency response, and ability to hit a button for roadside assistance with GPS locationn of vehicle. One call from cell phone will do the same. At least OnStar provides directions and directory assistance. Thoughts?

Anyone been through this yet?
