I sold my Merc E Class over a week ago but MercedesMe kept sending me messages saying the car was unlocked. I used the App and could see exactly where the car was and if it was locked, I could have unlocked it !

From what I see of Connected Drive, the same could be done on a BMW. Has anyone sold a car where the buying dealer has removed access to the car ? (My Merc went through main dealers).

Also, if a thief took the VIN from the windscreen of a parked car, could they register it on Connected Drive and see the location and go to it, unlock it and then drive it away using old fashioned ‘hot wiring’ as the alarm and immobiliser will be off. Hopefully, someone can confirm that a car can only be accessed by Connected Drive by one user !
