Top 20Developer’s description: The Mercedes-Benz mbrace mobile application enables Mercedes-Benz drivers to interact remotely with their vehicle using an iPhone or BlackBerry.  The first release of the app uses cellular and GPS technology to link to Mercedes-Benz, its mbrace telematics digital network, and the owner’s vehicle to perform several functions, including locking and unlocking the vehicle, locating the vehicle on a map, and contacting Roadside Assistance.

Pros: The app can help you find your Benz on a map when you can’t find it in a crowded parking lot; access to roadside assistance.

Cons: The app is free but a Mercedes-Benz is not; door lock service available only on select models.

Cost: Free (to Mercedes-Benz owners with an active paid subscription to Mercedes-Benz mbrace telematics services)
