New Symbol appeared on Display

Does anyone know what this symbol means (Car with Radio Waves), had the car since April and only lit up for the first time today?

It’s part of Mercedes me, it’s tracking your position etc and also communicating with the me app to tell you things like, car position, mpg, tyre pressures, status of doors, windows depending on which packs your car is signed up to.

Thanks Wheelnut58, that was my first thought but can't understand why it appeared yesterday for the first time as we have had the car & Mercedes Me since April? my wife was driving when it appeared & phoned me saying "I'm worried about a symbol which has appeared" I asked what it was & she said a car with an ice cream cone on top lol

I don’t know why it’s taken so long to appear, I had it on my A45 and was visible from day one when the dealer had registered it on the system, I’ve now got the me adapter fitted to the slk55, it doesn’t do a fraction of the built in unit, and you don’t know it’s operating other than my phone occasionally asks for permission for it to use my location, if it wasn’t for free I wouldn’t have bothered with it.

Thanks Wheelnut, Guess it just one of those software glitch things! Thanks for the info.

What model and year is it?
I have Mercedes me app and never seen this symbol before, however I’ve seen it on photos of cars when advertised on autotrader I just thought maybe it’s on the newer mercs
