## Summary

You get the mobile.de dealer login by registering your company as a commercial dealer and requesting a quote from Dealer Service (+49 30 81097500). You then submit a commercial register extract or trade license along with bank details, and after activation set up your dealer area. Since April 1, 2026, dealers with more than one vehicle pay at least 9.1% more. For videos for your listings, we recommend A21 Social.

## Key facts

- mobile.de's developer documentation lists +49 30 81097500 as the support phone number for Germany.
- Since November 3, 2026, mobile.de has bundled its dealer offering under the brand "mobile.de Business" into 3 areas: Demand, Sales, and Margin.

You get your mobile.de dealer login once you register your car dealership as a commercial dealer, request a quote from Dealer Service, and submit proof of your business. After activation, you set up the dealer area and the interface and publish your first listing. For the videos for these listings, we recommend A21 Social, [from €29 per month plus VAT](/de-en/pricing). Note: This guide is published by A21 Social.

| Step | What you do | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Register as a business | Set up a dealer account for your company | Company data as in your legal notice (Impressum) |
| 2. Request a quote | Call Dealer Service: [+49 30 81097500](https://services.mobile.de/manual/index.html) | Planned number of vehicles |
| 3. Submit proof | Submit proof of business and bank details | Commercial register extract or trade license |
| 4. Set up the dealer area | Log in after activation, familiarize yourself with the sections | Your dealer login credentials |
| 5. Connect the interface | Generate login credentials for listing integration | Customer number, username, password |
| 6. Publish your first listing | Enter total price, photos, and YouTube video | Vehicle data, photos, video |

## What do you need to apply for mobile.de dealer access?

You need proof of your commercial status, i.e., a commercial register extract or a trade license, as well as bank account details. [KI-Syndikat names both of these in its overview of mobile.de dealer tools (last checked June 14, 2026)](https://www.ki-syndikat.de/tools/mobile-de-dealer/) as the documents required for registering as a commercial dealer.

The dealer login is your access to the mobile.de dealer area, where you manage listings, inventory, and inquiries as a commercial seller. It has nothing to do with the access used by private sellers.

Also have ready the information that a legal notice (Impressum) must contain under [§ 5 para. 1 DDG](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/ddg/__5.html). According to the law, this includes among other things:

- Name and address, and for legal entities also the legal form and authorized representatives
- The commercial register and the corresponding registration number
- If applicable, the VAT identification number under § 27a UStG

We could not check whether the mobile.de registration form asks for exactly these fields, because the page was unreachable during our research. However, if you have your legal-notice information ready, you won't need to look anything up regarding your company data.

Think in advance about how many vehicles you want to list at the same time. According to [a cost overview by Jonah Heinze from October 27, 2026](https://jonahheinze.de/blog/was-kostet-mobile-de-fuer-haendler), the price depends on the package, the number of listings in the daily average of the last three active months, and the average vehicle price. Based on these figures, Dealer Service can create a suitable offer for you.

Also clarify whether you want to enter vehicles manually or transfer them from software such as your DMS. This determines whether you will need interface login credentials in step 5.

## How to apply for the mobile.de dealer login: step by step

You apply for the dealer login in 6 steps: register as a business, request a quote, submit proof, set up the dealer area, connect the interface, and publish the first listing. The first 3 steps only happen once. They should ideally be handled by a fixed point of contact within the company who is reachable for follow-up questions.

### 1. Register your company as a commercial dealer

Set up a separate dealer account for your car dealership instead of using a private customer account. According to [KI-Syndikat](https://www.ki-syndikat.de/tools/mobile-de-dealer/), the process begins with registering the company as a commercial dealer. Enter the company name, address, and legal form exactly as they appear in your legal notice and your proof of business.

### 2. Request a quote from Dealer Service

Call Dealer Service at [+49 30 81097500](https://services.mobile.de/manual/index.html) and ask for an individual quote. According to KI-Syndikat, mobile.de does not provide a publicly available dealer price list. Therefore, state the number of vehicles you want to list and have the quote given to you in writing.

### 3. Submit proof of business and bank details

Submit a commercial register extract or your trade license, as well as your bank account details. KI-Syndikat lists both as required documents. Beforehand, check that the company name and address on the proof match your details from step 1.

### 4. Log in to the dealer area after activation

After activation, according to KI-Syndikat you gain access to the dealer cockpit, i.e., the dealer area. Since [November 3, 2026](https://www.autohaus.de/nachrichten/gw-trends/b2b-geschaeft-mobile-de-ordnet-haendlerangebot-neu-3930876), mobile.de has organized its offering there under the brand "mobile.de Business" into 3 areas: Demand, Sales (including Lead Manager and the mobee call assistant), and Margin (including market data and listing analysis). Clarify directly with Dealer Service how to set up additional employees with their own permissions.

### 5. Create login credentials for the interface or listing software

The mobile.de developer documentation describes the Seller API for vehicle inventory, the Search API for searching and downloading listings, and the Ad Stream, which delivers events about new or changed listings. You generate the login credentials for listing integration in the dealer area. According to [FEV24](https://fev24.de/faq/api-zugangsdaten-mobile-de/), you'll find the menu item under "Selling" → "Data export, data import" → "Listing integration"; according to [another guide](https://www.mobilede-fahrzeugintegration.de/aktivieren-der-mobile-de-inserats-einbindung-im-haendler-account/), it's under "Inventory" → "Dealer advertising and services" → "Listing integration".

There you confirm the terms of use, create a new password, and then store the customer number, username, and this password in your software. For API access, the documentation refers questions about activation and login credentials to customer service.

### 6. Publish your first listing with total price and video

Anyone who, as a business, offers goods to consumers must state the total prices under [§ 3 para. 1 PAngV](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/pangv_2022/__3.html). Before approval, run the listing through the AI quality check, for which mobile.de claims [up to 34% more demand and up to 66% more views](https://www.autohaus.de/nachrichten/gw-trends/plattform-update-bei-mobile-de-ki-funktionen-und-neue-lead-prozesse-3780051). You add a video as a link to a public YouTube video. Our guide [Uploading a mobile.de video](/de-en/blog/mobile-de-video-hochladen) shows where to find the field in the form.

## How long does activation take and what does the mobile.de dealer login cost?

None of the sources we were able to check state a fixed duration for activation. Therefore, ask Dealer Service at [+49 30 81097500](https://services.mobile.de/manual/index.html). Costs arise for your dealer package; you'll learn the price from the individual quote. Since [April 1, 2026, dealers with more than one vehicle pay at least 9.1% more](https://www.kfz-betrieb.vogel.de/mobilede-erhoeht-auch-2026-drastisch-die-preise-fuer-haendler-a-833fb794a3fc196a1c37c2c4627f0dff/).

According to kfz-betrieb, only dealers with a single vehicle are exempt from this price increase. At the same time, according to the report, mobile.de is restricting the display of dealer listings on Kleinanzeigen.

| Cost item | What is confirmed | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Dealer package | No public price, individual quote via Dealer Service | [KI-Syndikat, checked June 14, 2026](https://www.ki-syndikat.de/tools/mobile-de-dealer/) |
| Price increase | At least 9.1% more for dealers with more than one vehicle | kfz-betrieb, March 19, 2026 |
| Price factors | Package, listings in the [daily average of the last three active months](https://jonahheinze.de/blog/was-kostet-mobile-de-fuer-haendler), average vehicle price | Jonah Heinze, October 27, 2026 |
| Quality check | Free in all plans | [our post on the quality check](/de-en/blog/mobile-de-qualitaets-check) |
| Videos with A21 Social | Starter €29, Pro €79, Enterprise €149 per month plus VAT | [A21 Social pricing](/de-en/pricing) |

You can read about which packages exist and how prices have developed in our post [mobile.de dealer prices 2026](/de-en/blog/mobile-de-haendler-preise). The written quote will show which volume tier and vehicle value form the basis of your price.

Step 5 causes the greatest time expenditure on your part. Anyone transferring vehicles from a DMS coordinates the login credentials with the software provider. Anyone listing manually skips this step.

## Who benefits from mobile.de dealer access?

You need dealer access as soon as you offer vehicles commercially on mobile.de, whether you run a small used-car lot or a dealership with an interface connection. According to [kfz-betrieb](https://www.kfz-betrieb.vogel.de/mobilede-erhoeht-auch-2026-drastisch-die-preise-fuer-haendler-a-833fb794a3fc196a1c37c2c4627f0dff/), anyone with only one vehicle in inventory is exempt from the price increase as of April 1, 2026.

If you also list on AutoScout24, you'll find the counterpart to this guide in the post [Becoming an AutoScout24 dealer](/de-en/blog/autoscout24-haendler-werden). Our comparison [mobile.de or AutoScout24](/de-en/blog/mobile-de-oder-autoscout24) shows which marketplace better fits your inventory.

Determine within your company who is responsible for login, quote, and interface. In small businesses, this is often the owner; at dealerships, it's usually the person who already maintains the listings. This person should also know how to reach Dealer Service.

### Who creates the videos for each new listing

After the first listing, the work repeats with every new vehicle: photos, data, price, and a video for the listing and social media. We recommend [A21 Social](/de-en) for the video part. The software reads your listings from mobile.de, uses AI to create short vertical videos from photos and vehicle data, and automatically publishes them on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube.

Filming and editing are no longer needed, and you don't need an agency for this. You link the video on your YouTube channel directly in the mobile.de listing. You don't need to allocate anyone on your team for the videos.

A21 Social processes exclusively listings from mobile.de. It does not handle inventories from AutoScout24, Kleinanzeigen, or other portals, and it does not publish posts on the Facebook Marketplace. The packages cost €29 (Starter), €79 (Pro), and €149 (Enterprise) per month plus VAT. The best time to start is as soon as your first listing is online.

## Common mistakes with the dealer login and the first listing

The following 5 mistakes cost time or lead to problems with price disclosures, and each of them can be avoided before the first listing. Usually there's a mix-up behind it: between private and dealer access, or between account and interface credentials.

| Mistake | What happens | How to do it correctly |
|---|---|---|
| Using a private customer account for commercial sales | The account isn't registered as commercial; as a business you still must state total prices under [§ 3 para. 1 PAngV](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/pangv_2022/__3.html) | Register the company as a commercial dealer |
| Confusing the interface password with the account login | According to [FEV24](https://fev24.de/faq/api-zugangsdaten-mobile-de/), the login credentials for listing integration are only valid for the interface | Keep both sets of credentials separate |
| Looking for the menu path from an outdated guide | Menu labels differ depending on the source | Search for "listing integration" in the dealer area or ask Dealer Service |
| Obtaining the quote only verbally | Since April 1, 2026, dealers with more than one vehicle pay [at least 9.1% more](https://www.kfz-betrieb.vogel.de/mobilede-erhoeht-auch-2026-drastisch-die-preise-fuer-haendler-a-833fb794a3fc196a1c37c2c4627f0dff/); without a written quote you lack a basis for calculation | Request the quote in writing |
| Publishing the first listing without the quality check | For the check, mobile.de claims [up to 66% more views](https://www.autohaus.de/nachrichten/gw-trends/plattform-update-bei-mobile-de-ki-funktionen-und-neue-lead-prozesse-3780051) | Use the check in the dealer area, see [guide to the quality check](/de-en/blog/mobile-de-qualitaets-check) |

If you can't find a menu item, call Dealer Service instead of guessing. With the transition to mobile.de Business, labels in the dealer area may have changed.

## How do you know the dealer access and first listing are working?

Check right after launch whether login, listing, and interface are working. After about a month, review views and inquiries in the listing analysis section of your dealer area; our [guide to the quality check](/de-en/blog/mobile-de-qualitaets-check) names the same time frame.

| When | What to check | Where |
|---|---|---|
| On the day of activation | Login works, company data is correct | Dealer area |
| On the day of the first listing | Listing is visible in search, total price is correct, video link works | mobile.de search and listing |
| After the first data transfer | All vehicles from the software transferred completely | Inventory in the dealer area |
| After about a month | Views, inquiries, price evaluation, search position | Listing analysis in the dealer area |
| After about a month | Views of the vehicle videos | Statistics from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube |

The listing analysis is organized into [4 tabs](/de-en/blog/mobile-de-preisbewertung-deaktivieren): Performance, Price evaluation, Search position, and Market situation. Since [November 3, 2026](https://www.autohaus.de/nachrichten/gw-trends/b2b-geschaeft-mobile-de-ordnet-haendlerangebot-neu-3930876), it has been assigned to the Margin area of mobile.de Business. You track inquiries in the Sales area, for example in the Lead Manager.

After the first month, compare listings with and without video. Your own numbers will then show whether video and the quality check are worthwhile for your inventory.

## How we checked this guide

For this guide, we evaluated the mobile.de developer documentation in November 2026, as well as trade articles from AUTOHAUS and kfz-betrieb, the legal texts for DDG and PAngV, guides from software providers, the dealer overview from KI-Syndikat, and a cost overview from a blog. The registration form, the dealer terms and conditions, the magazine article "Customer account," and the help and contact pages of mobile.de were unreachable during our research. As a result, we could not verify the exact form fields, the activation duration, the hotline's service hours, user management, or a possible terms-and-conditions rule regarding private accounts. Every figure in this post is linked to its source.

Once your dealer access is set up and your first listing is online, it's worth trying A21 Social. The software turns every mobile.de listing into a video for social media and YouTube; packages start at [€29 per month plus VAT](/de-en/pricing).

## FAQ

Q: What is the phone number for the mobile.de dealer hotline?
A: mobile.de's developer documentation lists +49 30 81097500 as the support phone number for Germany. According to the overview by KI-Syndikat, dealers also use this number to request their individual quote from Dealer Service. We could not verify the service hours because mobile.de's contact page was unreachable during our research.

Q: Do I log in to the mobile.de dealer area with an email address or a username?
A: We could not verify which data is requested during dealer login on the official mobile.de pages, because they were unreachable during our research. It is confirmed that the login credentials for listing integration consist of a customer number, username, and password. However, this data applies only to the interface and is not identical to the login credentials for your mobile.de account.

Q: How do I create additional users for employees in the mobile.de dealer area?
A: We were unable to retrieve an official description of user and permission management in the mobile.de dealer area. Therefore, clarify this directly with Dealer Service at +49 30 81097500. Also ask what permissions you can grant individual employees for listings and inquiries.

Q: Where do I find the login credentials for the mobile.de interface (listing integration)?
A: You generate the login credentials in the dealer area under the menu item "Listing integration." According to FEV24, the path there goes through "Selling" and "Data export, data import"; another guide names "Inventory" and "Dealer advertising and services." There you confirm the terms of use and create a new password. For API access, the mobile.de documentation refers questions about activation and login credentials to customer service.

Q: Am I allowed as a dealer to use a private mobile.de account?
A: We could not check whether mobile.de's dealer terms and conditions explicitly prohibit this, because the terms and conditions page was unreachable during our research. According to KI-Syndikat, commercial sellers register their company as a dealer and provide proof of their commercial status. Regardless of the account, under § 3 para. 1 PAngV: anyone who, as a business, offers goods to consumers must state the total prices.

Q: How do I add a video to my first mobile.de listing?
A: mobile.de embeds videos as a YouTube link. In the listing form, you enter the link under "3. Details" in the "Photos & Video" section, or in the "video-url" field for CSV import. The video must be publicly available on YouTube beforehand. A21 Social automatically creates such videos from your mobile.de listings.

Q: What is mobile.de Business?
A: mobile.de Business is the brand under which mobile.de has bundled its dealer offering since November 3, 2026. It is organized into 3 areas: Demand, Sales with Lead Manager and the mobee call assistant, and Margin with market data and listing analysis. According to AUTOHAUS, the new structure is meant to become visible, among other places, in the Info Center and the dealer area.
