The service allows you to lock/unlock your car from a distance, find it on a map, or contact the closest Mercedes dealer.
The system even has "Automatic Collision Notification" which is described as:
In the event your airbags deploy or your seatbelt Emergency Tensioning Devices are activated, Automatic Collision Notification will immediately relay your location to the Mercedes-Benz Emergency Response Center and attempt to establish voice communication between you and an mbrace Customer Specialist. If you request assistance or are unable to respond, the Customer Specialist will notify the appropriate emergency service provider and stay on the line until help arrives.
The mbrace service also features an SOS button that connects you to a mbrace Customer Specialist that has been trained to respond to emergency situations. Other features include stolen vehicle location assistance, automatic alarm notification, roadside assistance connection, and crisis alert.

I obviously studied the wrong thing in college...
I wasn't joking
Several days ago, S-P kidded me about my Twitter post about having (only) two Maseratis in the office parking lot, this being California and all. I replied that we needed to save some room for the Aston Martins.
I wasn't entirely kidding. This is such a rich man's ghetto. What am I doing here?
