Say your Benz is lost in a parking lot full of BMWs and Jags, the app can help you find your way.<\/p>\n<p>You can even unlock the car right from your phone, although you should probably wait until you&#8217;re within eyesight to do so. The app can also contract roadside assistance or emergency services if you run out of gas or get into an accident. But there&#8217;s a catch; it&#8217;s not included in the price of the car.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the first six months are free, but after that it costs $280 per year. The service is currently only available on certain new Benz models, but older models can be retrofitted for the service.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that the service can even be ported to different vehicles with a bit of work. Hopefully Mercedes-Benz is just the first manufacturer to offer this service.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/m3xinmD7LLDrJ0yOws86Fapo7qE\/0\/da\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/m3xinmD7LLDrJ0yOws86Fapo7qE\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br\/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/m3xinmD7LLDrJ0yOws86Fapo7qE\/1\/da\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/m3xinmD7LLDrJ0yOws86Fapo7qE\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=lg3OZoy1y4E:i82s40-YYRM:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=lg3OZoy1y4E:i82s40-YYRM:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=lg3OZoy1y4E:i82s40-YYRM:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=lg3OZoy1y4E:i82s40-YYRM:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=lg3OZoy1y4E:i82s40-YYRM:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hughes Telematics has created an app, mbrace, that will give lucky owners of certain Mercedes-Benz models the ability to control numerous functions of their car.
