I just picked up my GLC 300 2024 yesterday. Your video is really helpful, the guys from the Mercedes did go through on how to use mbux ,but just in case I need more information I just watch your videos.
Thanks for this very informative video. I just bought the fully loaded glc3002024 4matic late November 2023. I'll be using this video to educate myself more on my new baby.
Hi Nick, thanks for such a detailed video, I'm going to be new to Merc from BMW, I've learned loads that brochures and usual review vids don't show, so this has helped massively!
WOW! … Thank you so much for an extremely professional tutorial and video on the C43,Ordered mine is the U.S. back in January and awaiting the arrival 🙏… anyway I have to watch your😂 video another 100 times, as there is so much information and I was a-bit worried with the mbux experience, Thank You again, Awesome job!!!
Very informative video! Great job! Picking up our 2023 GLC300 SUV today. Will definitely use this video and your related videos to educate ourselves. Thank you!
Nick is great. The videos are VERY well done and it is a pleasure watching them. Thanks for such a wonderful job with these videos. We get our GLCs (two of them) next week and our videos are a great help.
Hi Nick - Thank you for all your very useful videos (watching you for more than 3years already - almost 4y coming soon). Not sure if you make video about electric car (such Tips & tricks), I would be much appreciated to know and watch this too.
Thank you! 🙏 glad you’ve enjoyed the videos! I’ve made a couple of tips and tricks about range etc (especially with the cold weather this morning) Plus I might have an EV outside for testing today…video coming in the next few weeks!
Thank you! All Mercedes get their GPS positioning from satellites 🤓 For the maps, depending on the car, they’ll either be on an SD card, or hard drive built into the car. Most new cars have an E-sim built into it too for data for maps updates etc
This is the best video tutorial on youtube! Thank you!. Ive got some questions. Can you configure the quick access menu? (the vehicle icon on the touchbar). Is there a way to create a shortcut to easily access the ambient lighting menu? ( I love to change the colors all the time but is takes time to get there)
Thank you! 🙏 That would be good! I don’t believe you can sadly, it’s fixed. Best thing to do would be to create a favourite on the favourites menu 🤓 (the star of the steering wheel)
Hi Nick again thanks for your work 👍👍 You can hide the squares right above the climate control by sliding it down, if you want a lager view. And dit you know that you can get ski report in the weather app, if you put a ski area 😊
Excellent video as ever Nick and so informative too- thank you. Please can you tell me if its possible to remove the mobile and radio blocks at the bottom of the screen? I have a CLA and it would be nicer to have more screen showing.
@@npoleary Thank you Nick. Could I ask one more question, is there a way of setting a reminder on the screen to remind to 'start on board dashcam' when first starting the car?
Thank you! Picked it up a few hours ago and used your videos to set everything up, thank you so much, I love it! I just have one question, on this model car, I cannot figure out how to get the MPH readout in between the two dials and in the middle of the cluster. I put the steering wheel down as far as it goes, and it is obstructing the mph dial on the left as well as the mph readout that is located on the top/center. I’d like it center/center, I hope this makes sense? It’s driving me crazy! Thx!
Ah awesome! I think it depends on the model, for example on mine I can’t put a “big speed” in the middle, but if you swipe up / down, you’ll be able to see exactly what’s available
Hi Nick I've watched literally all your vdos on the Mercedes and I absolutely love your presentations. I'm picking up my GLA45s next weekend. I saw on another channel, the 6 swipes on the touch pad takes you to a "Dealer Mode" menu. I haven't seen your take on this one
Ah nice! Thank you! Glad you enjoy them! I have heard of hidden menus and that particular one I’ve looked at but there’s nothing interesting in there. There is the ability to cause damage to the system such as deleting the maps completely so I’ve not posted about it as I’ve not found anything useful.
Many thanks for your video; highly insightful. Already implementing new information with my 2024 c300e PHEV. 1. Kindly clarify how to navigate to settings to avoid congestion charge routes (not very clear; shows for ULEZ zones). 2. The debate about MBUX navigation Vrs Waze with Apple Car play: your views pls? I realized Waze is king for London commute, or small towns; whilst MBUX rules the motorway routes. 3. Dashcam features video please 🙏🏾
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! I believe in Mercedes systems it’s just called Toll Roads or Toll Routes, there’s usually an option called Electronic Payment / Cash / Off. If you select off then it won’t use any roads that require payment. Found in Sat Nav settings, in approx HOME NAVIGATION WHERE TO? SETTINGS ROUTE and one of the options in there For number 2, Haha that’s a whole video in itself! Keeping it simple though, Waze offers community reporting for police, potholes and more. Plus Waze has a very aggressive traffic avoidance so if it a route will save you 30 secs, it’s probably going to take you that way! 😅 For number three covered this multiple times on my channel already www.youtube.com/@npoleary/search?query=dashcam
A very interesting and informative video. I did not too badly with my Jaguar I pace and my Mercedes EQC lost 4,000 after 10 months. I am anticipating a big loss when I dispose of my BMW i4 M50 because I paid over list price when I bought it.
@@npoleary I was hoping for an electric Mercedes C class size with a 0 to 60 time of around 5 seconds. I have recently traded a six year old A 45 for a 72 plate A35 and my wife has driven it for the first time today and told me she likes it a lot and thinks it is much nicer to drive than the old A45. Do you know where I can get a cable with a C plug to connect my Sony Walkman to the A35. Thanks Alan.
Ah yes I guess the closest thing that Mercedes offer is probably the EQE. Oh yes well I have adapters that I’ve recommended on my channel, commonly in the description. amzn.to/3kEchgr Just bear in mind the only way a Walkman would work is if it can act like a memory stick, otherwise Mercedes multimedia systems won’t recognise. It might be called “Mass Storage” or something
Thank you! There isn’t a setting for that, but if you say “Hey Mercedes” then immediately say your command, it’ll skip it. Or you could use the button on the steering wheel which would skip it anyway
Thank you for this wonderfully informative and well done tutorial. I’ve just purchased a 2024 GLC, ( here in USA) and subscribed to your channel as a great resource. Just wondered if you knew whether the coolant temperature indicator could be added to the classic theme center screen instead of switching to service display to see it. It’s handy to know when the engine is up to temperature as I live in seasonally cold climate. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Sadly no, I’ve got the same instrument cluster in my car and the only way to view it is to go to the service menu.
Excellent video thank you. I picked up an EQE AMG yesterday. How do I switch between media subtypes eg Spotify and Audible through MBUX without picking up my phone? Thanks.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Usually it’s best to use Apple CarPlay / Android Auto for functions like that but I have heard of a Mercedes Entertainment thing where it’s built into MBUX that I would like to cover soon on my channel!
Hi Nick. Another excellent video among all your others. Is there a way to add “Personal POI’s” to the satnav, in particular speed and red light cameras? I watched your NTG6 video (very helpful) where you explained how to add them via a USB stick and wondered if that was possible with NTG7. They worked perfectly in Australia on my old A35 but I now have a new A45S with the new MBUX. Cheers mate
Thank you! Yes it’ll work exactly the same way, the Personal POI menu is just in a different place 🤓 It’s top left of the Navi screen and then into settings in there
@@npoleary Thanks mate, you’re a champion. As soon as I plugged the USB in with the SCDB files, it worked. For what it’s worth, many people on the Australian pages I follow on Facebook regularly refer to your TH-cam videos when they post questions about their Merc’s because they’re excellent. Cheers mate!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Really sorry I only started my channel in 2020 so haven’t got access to cars other than my own, my local Mercedes or at Mercedes Press Office. I have the Sat Nav’s covered if I recall, depends if you have Garmin Map Pilot or COMAND
Hi Nick - Just collected my 10 month old C300d Estate with MBUX7. Great set of videos but still haven’t found any reference to displaying the date on the main driver screen. Any ideas?
Thank you! No sadly not seen any way to view the date on the main driver screen in Mercedes. I know you can set it in settings but not sure where else it appears.
Hi Nick, great videos that will help me when I get my 1st Mercedes. A couple of Qs: Can the EQA 250 have 2 profiles in different languages? Does the NTG software come on new EQA models now in production? My car is due to be delivered in Sept 2023.
Thank you! I don’t believe so, there’s a system wide option but not individual for the profiles as far as I’ve seen NTG is the generation of multimedia system so NTG 6 is the latest for the EQA as far as I’ve seen. Best to speak to Mercedes to keep in the loop though! 🤓
Great vids Nick. Couple of quick questions on NTG7 on a new A200 with the landscape screens: can you turn off the greeting when you switch on please, and having changed the position of an item it won't retain it. keeps going back to default. Thanks
Yes you can! I’ve switched mine off 🤓 It’s in System Settings and under Audio if I recall, it was called greeting tone or something. Hmmm that doesn’t sound quite right have you spoken to Mercedes about that last one?
Thanks, Nick. i finally managed to get the access protection code turned off, watching the video again, although it took a bit of finding. My next problem is to do with the tiles you talked about by touching and holding so you can move them, when i select my favourites radio station and move them to the front of the list, when i go back in the car and press the star button on steering wheel they are back at the end of the list, even though i am log my profile., Merc43
Oh really? Pretty sure it’s meant to, although I’ve not used or been into the favourites menu for quite some time. So if you’re having issues or you don’t think something’s right, I’d defo suggest chatting with your local Mercedes and they’ll be able to take a look.
@npoleary thanks again. Nick might have to go to the local garage. They might not be too keen as I did not but it from them due to their attitude when I went in to hopefully order from them.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve bought your car from. Mercedes warranty is valid in all Mercedes Showrooms across the UK 👍🏼 Although I did try the favourites thing in my own car just now and it doesn’t save the position. I don’t use it all though so it doesn’t really bother me personally. Maybe they might do a software update in the future or something?
Thank you so much for you content, this is very useful. I got one question, could we customize the zero layer? Like if we want the phone menu to be on the left of the screen or add other more menu on the at the bottom of the screen, thank you.
I remember there was a way that you can customise a few things. Although it’s been a while since I had a car on test with that. I’m sure you could hold your finger on certain icons and it would do something 🤓 Most of the time though it just predicts what your going to do 👍🏼
I just bought the 2024 AMG GLS 63 and WOW - what a great car. But my screen doesn't look like this - I have the wide version. Is there possibly an updated walk-through for the 2024 version?
Awesome! I could add it to the list of potential future videos! I’ll have to swing in to my local dealer and film one again but on that screen instead🤓
Apologies been such a long time, but Digital Light video coming soon over the next couple of weeks! I haven't forgotten! 👊🏼 Sneak Peak: It's incredible!
I actually just found another video that shows how to do it. There is a way to bring up a list view of the stations and you can move and delete them by clicking on the three dots.
Great and very useful video. On my 2023 Mercedes C Class I set the navigation to the traditional style but have 1 query. On saving all my destinations to favorites I want to move them around into alphabetical order but cannot fathom how to achieve this. Any suggestions.
Really amazing video, thank you so much!!! I am just wondering about the ‘Time of warning’ setting under the ‘Parking’ menu. I have ‘side warning’ and ‘Front’ but there is no section on ‘Rear’ warning. Does this mean that time of warning for the rear cannot be adjusted or could it be found somewhere else? Thank you!
Sadly I read in the manual USB hubs aren’t compatible with Mercedes multimedia systems :( so don’t believe they’ll be a workaround What were you trying to plug in? Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Good morning, quick question: how long does Mercedes update their systems? I have a MB from 2020 Class A and I wonder if it is possible for the latest MBUX 2.4 update to be supported by my version? does Mercedes do the same thing as, for example, Apple, by disabling its systems from updating, which is combined with an "encouragement" to buy a newer version of the car?
So Mercedes provide updates for a number of years (although they don’t disclose the number as far as I know). These are probably going to be security and/or bug fixes. Sat Nav updates are provided via a subscription on the Mercedes me store (usually free for 3 years from new, chargeable after that). This does vary round the world so chat to Mercedes themselves for exact specifics. Then comes the generations of MBUX 👍🏼 MBUX NTG 6 (Gen 1) MBUX NTG 7 (Gen 2) MBUX NTG 7.5 / MBUX NTG 8 (Gen 3) These are not software updates, they have new hardware because they’re installed on a new models with new features so software updates wouldn’t work in that scenario. There’s no disabling, they’re physically new cars with new multimedia systems. Hope that helps!
Thanks for another great video Nick. I have a question about the ambient lightning on the new GLC 300 Suv. The air vents don’t get illuminated and I don’t see the accent option in the MBUX light section. Is there more than one lighting package for this model or is it maybe a technical problem that needs to be serviced? Thanks in advance for your advice.
No sadly as far as I’ve seen, it’s just Mercedes compact cars that have ambient light in the vents. More subtle approach on some higher end models from what I’ve seen 🤓
Great video👍🏻 Is there a way to change music tracks from the steering wheel? Or fast forward/rewind podcasts for example. I can’t find a dedicated button for that. When I use navigation for example there is no button on the steering wheel that does music track change. So strange
I have order it a C Class 300 4MATIC 2023..Im waiting..I will have the same settings on my MBUX ? Or not cause it's the different car ? If i have the same i want watch this video soo i can learn about MBUX. Thanks!
Hi Nick , videos great but just picked up my new GLA 200 Today and I cant get the "Hey mercedes" voice command to call people from my list. can you help please
Ah nice! Well first and foremost when you connected your phone did you select yes for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If you did then you need to use Siri or Google to make the call. However if you haven’t selected those two and you’re just using Bluetooth then let me know what phone you have and I’ll suggest something else.
Hey bro your videos are really very helpful. I recently purchased a new GLC and so it comes with the latest MBUX system so while setting up my profile I have done both fingerprint and voice recognition, but every time I sit inside my car always it asks for fingerprint. What do I have to do to select my profile using voice recognition feature? And moreover the easy entry and exit feature is on but the seats don’t move while entering the car…it only moves a tad bit backwards while stepping out. So it would be very helpful if you would clarify these. Thank you.
Thank you! I’m sure the voice thing is easier to use if you’re swapping drivers. Reason I say that is because MBUX takes a little while to load up when you turn it on in the morning, which also includes the Hey Mercedes voice assistant which you’d need to use. So it’s probably quicker to just have the pin off (if you’re just using the car yourself and not sharing with others). For easy / entry and exit, that can happen in any car, depends how it’s configured so not sure if it’s changed since I last produced some tips and tricks on it. In Mercedes cars basically and in a nutshell it only works in certain seating positions. Sadly for me being 6ft 2” it won’t work for me because I’m too tall. Easy Entry/Exit will only work if you are shorter in height and need the seat to move back further away from the wheel in order to get out.
Hi Nick, nice view! Is there an option for satellite view on the driver cluster screen? if so does it come up like google earth (like the main screen)? thanks
No sadly not seen a screensaver before but you can toggle the display off with the power button. This doesn’t turn it completely off, as you can still access A/C controls etc
I recently purchased a 2023 C300 and found your video helpful for a few items, but I was wondering id there a way to change the name on the Navigation system, for example I wish to save a place into favourites, but in a month or two I will not remember the name of the street can I edit the street name to something I can remember, so can I change 16 Hill street to Toms Place? Many thanks Mike Brisbane Australia
Hi Nick I have just picked up my GLC 300DE Hybrid but I have noticed that my dash air vents do not light up with the ambient lighting is the same on all GLCs
Ah very nice! 👌🏼 Probably best to ask someone who works at Mercedes on that one they’ll be able to offer greater clarity 🤓 From what I know though, I do recall that they had ambient lights in the vents a while ago but from the sounds of it their specification may have changed (car manufacturers do this several times throughout the year). One of the reasons I don’t list what’s on packages in my videos as it could be out of date a few months later
It’ll show you some lane guidance from what I’ve seen when exiting a motorway but I don’t believe it does for town driving. Maps are updated as long as you have a valid subscription and it’s linked to your Mercedes account
Hi Nick, I've just purchased a new GLE53 AMG. I was surprised it doesn’t have augmented reality. My previous car was a GLE450, and it did. Is there any reason for this?
Hey Remo, it depends on the specification so if you chat with Mercedes, they’ll let you know. I haven’t seen Augmented Reality on cars that I’ve reviewed for a couple of years now though. There are a couple that still do have it but they’re on S-Class etc.
Hi Nick, apologies for the off topics. I’m still waiting for my vehicle which since December 2022, is recorded in the Mercedes database as “ready for distribution”. Based on your expertise, do you might have an explanation? Thanks, and regards from Italy.
Hey AnikiF, really sorry you’ll have to speak with Mercedes for updates on orders. I only produce reviews and tutorials on my channel and only have access to cars at my local Mercedes. They should be keeping you on the loop though!
@@npoleary Hey Nick, i was just guessing you could have any info. I’m talking to them on a weekly basis, but I get the same answer. Couldn’t believe that MB logistics is so weak… Anyway It’s ok, thanks for your time and your kindness, and your interesting videos!
Nick, another good video as usual, but you seem to always show sat nav videos on cars top of the range which have the best features, but in my case, i can't afford these models. I have just taken delivery of a new 2023 GLA 200 sport which I am thoroughly enjoying, so I could do with a video of my sat nav as i am having problems setting favourites in the sat nav plus a few other settings within the sat nav. Merc43
Hey bowman, thank you! Well I’ve tried to produce all the Sat nav’s systems that Mercedes have Garmin: th-cam.com/video/g22j5UiyTXY/w-d-xo.html COMAND: th-cam.com/video/fXLUR5Mi8pU/w-d-xo.html COMAND 5.5: th-cam.com/video/5KVNqIhArtI/w-d-xo.html MBUX Gen 1: th-cam.com/video/jt1dCXTxP_A/w-d-xo.html MBUX Gen 2: th-cam.com/video/zNzmgJ8ysRw/w-d-xo.html I’d imagine it’ll be one of the last two if it’s a fairly new one 👍🏼 Do you have a touchpad in the middle? If so it’ll be MBUX Gen 1
Hey Mac there are quite a few charging points in the UK. Check out the UK’s full list by downloading an App called Zap Map: iOS apps.apple.com/gb/app/zap-map-ev-charging-in-the-uk/id964082746 Android play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zapmap.zapmap&hl=en_GB&gl=US
Yeah it doesn’t matter where you bought your car from, take it to any dealer. Just take your V5 and proof of ID in and they’ll link it to your account. In the case of leasing you may not have a V5 so just take some form of proof of ownership in, email confirmation of the car, delivery note or something that proves you are the end user of the car.
How do you keep navigation voice on as you are speaking on the phone through the system? I've noticed navigation stops giving voice directions when connected on the phone call.
Nick just gone from a 2021 GLE 400d W167 to a X254 GLC300 Ntg7...how / can you change radio station using the steering wheel touch pad like I could on the W167 GLE??
If you swipe up/down on the instrument cluster you can get to the part where it shows you the music information. From here swipe left/right to change track
I’m loving my new A200 which I’ve had about 3 weeks now. Just one niggle with ntg7. I’ve added the dashcam as a favourite and I reorder the list so dashcam is first and confirm the new position. But the position isn’t being retained & next time I return to the car the order has reset to default. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
I would have thought favourites would retain the list but have you not got the dashcam symbol on the top left? Got a video coming soon on the dashcam, it’s faster to start it this way. With the favourites though, a few other people have asked me about that but sadly I don’t know. Best thing if you don’t think something’s right, just get in touch with Mercedes and I’m sure they’ll be able to help!
@@npoleary Thanks for the reply Nick. Yes I can start the dashcam from the icon on the screen but my preference would be to start it from the steering wheel rather than touching the screen. Luckily I have the interior assistant on my car & I’ve realised I can set it to start with the gesture control. That works well for me.
Hi Nick, I was wondering is there a shortcut button on the steering wheel that I can quickly switch between "radio" and "media" and see it on the front screen? The only way I can do at this time is to use the steering wheel controls to control the main center screen. I'm new to Mercedes Benz, been driving BMWs for almost 20 years, BMW steering wheel has a "mode" button that can quickly switch between different media source. Thanks!
Thank you for this full passing through the mbux. I am new on Mercedes..a gle53amg and even I got friendly enough with the mbux..i did learned a lot of useful details and got all the answers . Great video. I watched all your other videos before i got the car.
Hi Nick. I have a 2023 EQE SUV (US Version). My question is about the commuter routing. On my 2021 GLE450 the commuter route would start and run with out any input. With this EQE it will just ocasionally throw a notice on the middle screen that the "home" route is available but you have to click start to turn on the route. When you do this it announces turns just like a normal route. I prefer the old way where it is silent but does show any delays on the route. Is there setting that I can change to make it behave this way? Thank you!
Sadly I’ve only seen a pre-production EQE SUV so not really had a complete hands on experience with it. I hope to in the future! It is a different multimedia so it could be different in the newer ones
@@npoleary Thanks, Nick! It works when I say "next rack" but swipe up from bottom of the screen doesn't seem to work, the only way I can do is to use the "last track" or "next track" icon next to the "home" icon.
@jeffreychen5241 oh right if you have a model with the portrait screen there’s already a next track button there so you can’t swipe up in addition to the buttons that’s already there Saying “Next Track” is by far the easiest! 🤓
Sadly it’s not something officially support by Mercedes (at least it’s not in their brochures) Some cars can do video playback depending on their equipment but I have answered this my frequently asked question series: th-cam.com/video/tu_Aktw93v4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0yn78n0gu_Ai5aZK Might be useful to you! 🤓
Hi Nick, you said we can 'hotspot off our phone'. I want to get some clarification on that. Does that mean I do not need to get the data package offered by T-Mobile in the states? I can use my phone as a hotspot and have the car join the hotspot?
Yes that’s right but bear in mind I only have access to cars in the UK. Specs vary massively round the world so it will vary. I’ve found it in Settings and then SYSTEM and Internet and Connectivity 🤓
I have a dashcam on my car but it has to be turned on every time I get into the car, which is silly and not something that I would expect from a marque like Mercedes, so I had one installed that records 24/7
Yup that’s a good choice! Which one did you get? Mercedes dashcam has always been a manual start here: th-cam.com/video/xkXyOzoLpO0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PUO7kbcMUEhnOpBs 3rd party dashcam review: th-cam.com/video/8ebjU6TelQ8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=B2I0UKYNzMRR7DMY
Thanks Nick this is very useful. A couple of questions if I may? 1. In my profile I set the dynamic to Eco, but when I start the engine this reverts to comfort although Eco is still selected. I have selected the ask button which is ok as when I switch the engine on it asks if I want to drive in the same mode as last journey. I understand that this can be changed from the touch bar but is there a way that I can get it to follow the choice in my profile setting to save having to change it every time? 2. The elements in the driver display appear very limited compared to my previous GLC. I could select to change any of the three areas but I can’t seam to do this. I appear to only be able to change the centre display as I can’t seam to access either the right or left elements to chant the display. I am sure it must be possible but I can’t find it? Many thanks again.
Hey Steve, thank you! No sadly Comfort is how cars always start, you can change this afterward though as you said but they’ll always start in their default mode. For the displays, that’s because they’re completely different: th-cam.com/video/Ft318ejsnu0/w-d-xo.html I covered that in this video to let everyone know there is a difference between them. The new GLC has pre-set themes.
Whoops… it’s a shame I enjoyed being able to change each of the three columns and also the large digital speed. Let’s hope it all returns in the next update.
Hi Nick got a MBUX NTG7 and couldn’t find other POI,s menu to add the speed camera software that is in the usb stick, could you tell me where it is on this platform?
It’s on the Navi screen under Navi settings but it’s different depending on which car you have when I been in Mercedes cars. Usually around HOME PICTURE OF CAR SETTINGS VIEW POI SYMBOLS ON MAP Not all cars can do Personal Poi’s from what I’ve heard so double the compatibility on the SCDB website 🤓
Sadly not been in one and used Radio for a long time, need to visit my local dealer again 😅 Is it not this: share.icloud.com/photos/0a5jPklGJMzCwZ5ef1mFkzDFw I thought it was called Radio Text Information or something similar
That was a screenshot from the manual, i just looked it up…unless I’ve just thought of something. Maybe it’s only visible on the classic view. If you hold the home button and toggle between Zero Layer and Classic layer, does that make a difference?
Hi, you said the 2023 A Class has NTG7 but no mention of this is made in the brochures, and even when I contacted MB UK they couldn't give me an answer, so what is the actual position?
Hey Jim, no sadly iPods are not made by Apple anymore and as such the software to use them isn’t available anymore. To playback music in a car you’ll have to use a memory stick with files on or use a smartphone. Here’s all the ways you can play music: th-cam.com/video/YxHJZbGDIvI/w-d-xo.html
Not sure what you mean, so if it's a new GLC 2023, then it's all controlled on the bottom of the screen. If the fan speed can be adjusted for both sides then they'll be fan on both sides, if the fan can only do one side then it'll just have fan for one.
@@npoleary Yes, so like in the video you have control for fan speed on both sides, but I'm missing the control keys for the passenger side. Is that normal?
It depends on the specification of the car, there are options for more climate control buttons and controls. In some cars that I’ve reviewed, they have 4 zone climate control with fan speed adjustment for 4 passengers. Some cars will just have one fan speed adjustment and dual temp, just depends what you opted for 🤓
No not seen that on the new version, it’s certainly not on my own car. There’s a few things that I think Mercedes removed but then a few things also added and improved too.
Just wanted to clarify since I have a 2024 GLS450 on order in the states - but is the refreshed MBUX in the 2024 NTG 7 with the smaller screen, or is it still considered NTG 6?
Hi Nick, another question I have is when the car is parked while engine is still running. The odometer shows a warning " Vehicle ready to drive Shut down occurs when locked or automatically in certain minutes". Any way to disable this?
Hello Nick et al, I have been struggling with Automatic Volume adjustment on NTG 7 MBUX with Burmeister in my 2023 GLC. (standard stereo system does have this option) There is no way to turn it off as the menu option simply does not exist. Local dealer could not help me at all and just confirmed the fact that other C class cars in the shop had the same issue. Is there a chance anyone has heard about a way of disabling the auto volume? Thank you.
Hey Sergii, I’ve not seen an option for this I presume it’s something that is always enabled and cannot be switched off. I’m guessing this is a feature to help with the speed of the car? So the faster you go, the more the volume increases etc
@@npoleary hello Nick. Thanks for replying. I have searched everywhere and yes, I believe it cannot be changed. But the experience is not really great, as the volume changes quite aggressively rather than smoothly. Will continue chasing my local dealer to follow up on the ticket that we have opened within Mercedes support.

Fantastic video Nick - thank you! Having just picked up a new GLC, your video run-through has been invaluable!
Ah awesome! Very nice! Thank you! 🤓
I just picked up my GLC 300 2024 yesterday. Your video is really helpful, the guys from the Mercedes did go through on how to use mbux ,but just in case I need more information I just watch your videos.
Awesome thank you! 🙏 glad you find it useful! 😎
Thanks for this very informative video. I just bought the fully loaded glc3002024 4matic late November 2023. I'll be using this video to educate myself more on my new baby.
Ah very nice! Glad you enjoy the video!
Just in time Nick. Just picked up a slightly used 2022 C300 with NTG 7. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you! 🙏🙏🤓
37:46 “I’ll just play with myself for a minute” (blind people will be flabbergasted 🤯)
Hi Nick, thanks for such a detailed video, I'm going to be new to Merc from BMW, I've learned loads that brochures and usual review vids don't show, so this has helped massively!
Ah awesome thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! I’ll keep them coming where I can!
Nick, Thank you. Very helpful with good tips. So much technology is overwhelming. Glad I found your videos.
Thank you! No worries! I’ll keep em coming!
WOW!
… Thank you so much for an extremely professional tutorial and video on the C43,Ordered mine is the U.S. back in January and awaiting the arrival 🙏… anyway I have to watch your😂 video another 100 times, as there is so much information and I was a-bit worried with the mbux experience, Thank You again, Awesome job!!!
Thank you! 🤓👍🏼🤓
Very informative video! Great job! Picking up our 2023 GLC300 SUV today. Will definitely use this video and your related videos to educate ourselves. Thank you!
Thank you! 🤓🙏🤓
Nick is great. The videos are VERY well done and it is a pleasure watching them. Thanks for such a wonderful job with these videos. We get our GLCs (two of them) next week and our videos are a great help.
Awh thank you! All produced by me, I might do a behind the scenes video one day! 👀
It’ll be a long one! Haha
Oooo very nice!
Great video very simple step by step tutorial explained well
Thank you! 🙏 🤓
Great work Nick... Keep it up. All your videos are very helpful for me, as I recently picked up a C300
Thank you! 🤓🙏
Hi Nick - Thank you for all your very useful videos (watching you for more than 3years already - almost 4y coming soon). Not sure if you make video about electric car (such Tips & tricks), I would be much appreciated to know and watch this too.
Thank you! 🙏 glad you’ve enjoyed the videos!
I’ve made a couple of tips and tricks about range etc (especially with the cold weather this morning)
Plus I might have an EV outside for testing today…video coming in the next few weeks!
@@npoleary great! like to see🤗
A fabulous presentation Nick. Thanks.
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Great in depth video. Few Quick questions = where does the sat nav get its satellite connection from ie: hotspot data from your phone?
Thank you! All Mercedes get their GPS positioning from satellites 🤓
For the maps, depending on the car, they’ll either be on an SD card, or hard drive built into the car. Most new cars have an E-sim built into it too for data for maps updates etc
This is the best video tutorial on youtube! Thank you!. Ive got some questions. Can you configure the quick access menu? (the vehicle icon on the touchbar). Is there a way to create a shortcut to easily access the ambient lighting menu? ( I love to change the colors all the time but is takes time to get there)
Thank you! 🙏
That would be good! I don’t believe you can sadly, it’s fixed.
Best thing to do would be to create a favourite on the favourites menu 🤓 (the star of the steering wheel)
Really detailed and nice Video ! Greetings from Portugal Nick 🙂
Thank you! 🙏
Great work Nick, simple and easy to understand you have a new subscriber.
Thank you very much! 🤓🤓🤓
Thank you, learned so much about my car
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Awesome video like always. Yes for a review of the new dash cam. I'm getting a 2024 C300 and I'm learning a lot from your videos 😄
Thank you! 🤓🙏🤓
Great Video Nick . Can you please share a similar video for GLA 2024 model . That also has NTG7 MBUX . Thank you
Thank you! I’m planning to! Might do one before the end of the year but it takes a while to make! 😅
Hi Nick again thanks for your work 👍👍
You can hide the squares right above the climate control by sliding it down, if you want a lager view.
And dit you know that you can get ski report in the weather app, if you put a ski area 😊
Hi Nick,
The online music function works great. I connected my Apple Music account.
Ah awesome! I want to try it out soon!
Thanks for letting me know! 🤓
@@npoleary only a pleasure mate. Keep up the good work. It really helps allot 😁
Thanks, great tutorial video and it helps me a lot !
Thank you so much! ☺️ glad it helped you!
Hey great information video. Can you make a video on the new generation of MBUX 3rd generation. Thanks
I would love to! It’s on my too film list! Need to wait for my local dealer to get one in that’s in their showroom.
Amazing work Nick. Your videos are very informative.
Thank you! Got some more Mercedes videos coming soon! 😎
Excellent video as ever Nick and so informative too- thank you. Please can you tell me if its possible to remove the mobile and radio blocks at the bottom of the screen? I have a CLA and it would be nicer to have more screen showing.
Thank you! No sadly not seen a way to toggle those off. That would be good though!
@@npoleary Thank you Nick. Could I ask one more question, is there a way of setting a reminder on the screen to remind to 'start on board dashcam' when first starting the car?
No sadly not from what I’ve seen. I covered every feature and aspect of it at the start of the year when I reviewed the dashcam system as a whole.
Thank you SO much for your awesome content! I am picking up a brand new C300 this afternoon, and this is so helpful for me to get a head start!
Ah amazing! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Oooo very nice! 👌🏼
Thank you! Picked it up a few hours ago and used your videos to set everything up, thank you so much, I love it! I just have one question, on this model car, I cannot figure out how to get the MPH readout in between the two dials and in the middle of the cluster. I put the steering wheel down as far as it goes, and it is obstructing the mph dial on the left as well as the mph readout that is located on the top/center. I’d like it center/center, I hope this makes sense? It’s driving me crazy! Thx!
Ah awesome!
I think it depends on the model, for example on mine I can’t put a “big speed” in the middle, but if you swipe up / down, you’ll be able to see exactly what’s available
Thank you Nick! I believe I am in the same boat, I’ve clicked thru all the options, thank you for getting back to me!!
No worries!
Hi Nick
I've watched literally all your vdos on the Mercedes and I absolutely love your presentations. I'm picking up my GLA45s next weekend. I saw on another channel, the 6 swipes on the touch pad takes you to a "Dealer Mode" menu. I haven't seen your take on this one
Ah nice! Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!
I have heard of hidden menus and that particular one I’ve looked at but there’s nothing interesting in there.
There is the ability to cause damage to the system such as deleting the maps completely so I’ve not posted about it as I’ve not found anything useful.
Many thanks for your video; highly insightful. Already implementing new information with my 2024 c300e PHEV.
1. Kindly clarify how to navigate to settings to avoid congestion charge routes (not very clear; shows for ULEZ zones).
2. The debate about MBUX navigation Vrs Waze with Apple Car play: your views pls? I realized Waze is king for London commute, or small towns; whilst MBUX rules the motorway routes.
3. Dashcam features video please 🙏🏾
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
I believe in Mercedes systems it’s just called Toll Roads or Toll Routes, there’s usually an option called Electronic Payment / Cash / Off. If you select off then it won’t use any roads that require payment.
Found in Sat Nav settings, in approx
HOME
NAVIGATION
WHERE TO?
SETTINGS
ROUTE
and one of the options in there
For number 2, Haha that’s a whole video in itself! Keeping it simple though, Waze offers community reporting for police, potholes and more. Plus Waze has a very aggressive traffic avoidance so if it a route will save you 30 secs, it’s probably going to take you that way! 😅
For number three covered this multiple times on my channel already
www.youtube.com/@npoleary/search?query=dashcam
Thanks Nick, incredibly useful!
Thank you! 🙏
Wow! Thanks, Nick. Great one.
No worries! Thank you!
A very interesting and informative video. I did not too badly with my Jaguar I pace and my Mercedes EQC lost 4,000 after 10 months. I am anticipating a big loss when I dispose of my BMW i4 M50 because I paid over list price when I bought it.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
What car are you thinking next?
@@npoleary I was hoping for an electric Mercedes C class size with a 0 to 60 time of around 5 seconds. I have recently traded a six year old A 45 for a 72 plate A35 and my wife has driven it for the first time today and told me she likes it a lot and thinks it is much nicer to drive than the old A45. Do you know where I can get a cable with a C plug to connect my Sony Walkman to the A35. Thanks Alan.
Ah yes I guess the closest thing that Mercedes offer is probably the EQE.
Oh yes well I have adapters that I’ve recommended on my channel, commonly in the description.
amzn.to/3kEchgr
Just bear in mind the only way a Walkman would work is if it can act like a memory stick, otherwise Mercedes multimedia systems won’t recognise. It might be called “Mass Storage” or something
@@npoleary Thank you, I have ordered the cables . The EQE is bigger than what I would prefer and the 53 is more than I want to spend. Alan.
Thanks for the great video! Great job! Thanks Nick!
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it!
Great Video!!!!! Thanks Nick!
Thank you! 🤓👍🏼
Great video! I just picked up an EQE SUV, where is the setting to remove Mercedes’ response “how can I help you?”
Thank you! There isn’t a setting for that, but if you say “Hey Mercedes” then immediately say your command, it’ll skip it.
Or you could use the button on the steering wheel which would skip it anyway
This is the best video of mbux 2.0..the online problem is that my c classe never received the ota update...
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Might be worth mentioning to a dealer when it’s in for service and they can check it out! 👍🏼
Thank you for this wonderfully informative and well done tutorial. I’ve just purchased a 2024 GLC, ( here in USA) and subscribed to your channel as a great resource. Just wondered if you knew whether the coolant temperature indicator could be added to the classic theme center screen instead of switching to service display to see it. It’s handy to know when the engine is up to temperature as I live in seasonally cold climate. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Sadly no, I’ve got the same instrument cluster in my car and the only way to view it is to go to the service menu.
Excellent video thank you. I picked up an EQE AMG yesterday. How do I switch between media subtypes eg Spotify and Audible through MBUX without picking up my phone? Thanks.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Usually it’s best to use Apple CarPlay / Android Auto for functions like that but I have heard of a Mercedes Entertainment thing where it’s built into MBUX that I would like to cover soon on my channel!
Hi Nick. Another excellent video among all your others. Is there a way to add “Personal POI’s” to the satnav, in particular speed and red light cameras? I watched your NTG6 video (very helpful) where you explained how to add them via a USB stick and wondered if that was possible with NTG7. They worked perfectly in Australia on my old A35 but I now have a new A45S with the new MBUX. Cheers mate
Thank you! Yes it’ll work exactly the same way, the Personal POI menu is just in a different place 🤓
It’s top left of the Navi screen and then into settings in there
@@npoleary Thanks mate, you’re a champion. As soon as I plugged the USB in with the SCDB files, it worked.
For what it’s worth, many people on the Australian pages I follow on Facebook regularly refer to your TH-cam videos when they post questions about their Merc’s because they’re excellent. Cheers mate!
@iana9382 ah awesome! Thank you! 🤓🙏
Hello Nick. Love your videos. Very informative. Can you please do a walk through of the A250 AMG models 2016 and beyond. Thanks in advance.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Really sorry I only started my channel in 2020 so haven’t got access to cars other than my own, my local Mercedes or at Mercedes Press Office. I have the Sat Nav’s covered if I recall, depends if you have Garmin Map Pilot or COMAND
Hi Nick - Just collected my 10 month old C300d Estate with MBUX7. Great set of videos but still haven’t found any reference to displaying the date on the main driver screen. Any ideas?
Thank you! No sadly not seen any way to view the date on the main driver screen in Mercedes. I know you can set it in settings but not sure where else it appears.
Great overview. Thanks a lot.
Hi Nick, great videos that will help me when I get my 1st Mercedes. A couple of Qs: Can the EQA 250 have 2 profiles in different languages? Does the NTG software come on new EQA models now in production? My car is due to be delivered in Sept 2023.
Thank you!
I don’t believe so, there’s a system wide option but not individual for the profiles as far as I’ve seen
NTG is the generation of multimedia system so NTG 6 is the latest for the EQA as far as I’ve seen.
Best to speak to Mercedes to keep in the loop though! 🤓
Good as always Nick thanks😊
Thanks for watching! 🤓
Great vids Nick. Couple of quick questions on NTG7 on a new A200 with the landscape screens: can you turn off the greeting when you switch on please, and having changed the position of an item it won't retain it. keeps going back to default. Thanks
Yes you can! I’ve switched mine off 🤓
It’s in System Settings and under Audio if I recall, it was called greeting tone or something.
Hmmm that doesn’t sound quite right have you spoken to Mercedes about that last one?
Thanks, Nick. i finally managed to get the access protection code turned off, watching the video again, although it took a bit of finding.
My next problem is to do with the tiles you talked about by touching and holding so you can move them, when i select my favourites radio station and move them to the front of the list, when i go back in the car and press the star button on steering wheel they are back at the end of the list, even though i am log my profile.,
Merc43
Oh really? Pretty sure it’s meant to, although I’ve not used or been into the favourites menu for quite some time. So if you’re having issues or you don’t think something’s right, I’d defo suggest chatting with your local Mercedes and they’ll be able to take a look.
@npoleary thanks again. Nick might have to go to the local garage. They might not be too keen as I did not but it from them due to their attitude when I went in to hopefully order from them.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve bought your car from. Mercedes warranty is valid in all Mercedes Showrooms across the UK 👍🏼
Although I did try the favourites thing in my own car just now and it doesn’t save the position. I don’t use it all though so it doesn’t really bother me personally. Maybe they might do a software update in the future or something?
@npoleary thanks again, Nick. Yes, I might just not bother right now. I will just ask Mercedes Me to change the radio stations👍👍👍
Thank you so much for you content, this is very useful. I got one question, could we customize the zero layer? Like if we want the phone menu to be on the left of the screen or add other more menu on the at the bottom of the screen, thank you.
I remember there was a way that you can customise a few things. Although it’s been a while since I had a car on test with that.
I’m sure you could hold your finger on certain icons and it would do something 🤓
Most of the time though it just predicts what your going to do 👍🏼
Thanks Nick!!!
I just bought the 2024 AMG GLS 63 and WOW - what a great car. But my screen doesn't look like this - I have the wide version. Is there possibly an updated walk-through for the 2024 version?
Awesome!
I could add it to the list of potential future videos! I’ll have to swing in to my local dealer and film one again but on that screen instead🤓
Hey Nick,
Thanks a ton for covering the infotainment pretty deep , Can you do one for the digital head lights as well please ?
Thank you! I’m working on it! Trying to gain access to a car at Mercedes so I can do it!
Apologies been such a long time, but Digital Light video coming soon over the next couple of weeks! I haven't forgotten! 👊🏼
Sneak Peak: It's incredible!
@@npoleary Thanks buddy! Looking forward to it
Very useful, thank you !
Thank you! 🙏
Great Video- How do you reorder your Radio Favorites? Thank you
Hey Mike, can you hold your finger on one of them on the favourites menu. Not sure I tried that actually! 😅
@@npoleary it doesn't seem to work like the last version of mbux. It does seem to reorder them depending on use sometimes.
I actually just found another video that shows how to do it. There is a way to bring up a list view of the stations and you can move and delete them by clicking on the three dots.
Great and very useful video. On my 2023 Mercedes C Class I set the navigation to the traditional style but have 1 query. On saving all my destinations to favorites I want to move them around into alphabetical order but cannot fathom how to achieve this. Any suggestions.
Thank you! I believe you can hold your finger on an icon to change it. Then select move or rename 🤓
Hi Nick, how to remove the daily greeting with my name in the morning ? Thx and great video saved my a lot of research time ❤
Ah I made a video on that earlier in the year!
th-cam.com/video/9k5Y0wK73r8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=D08nchMpEKWe7DFd
Glad you enjoyed this one
Really amazing video, thank you so much!!! I am just wondering about the ‘Time of warning’ setting under the ‘Parking’ menu. I have ‘side warning’ and ‘Front’ but there is no section on ‘Rear’ warning. Does this mean that time of warning for the rear cannot be adjusted or could it be found somewhere else? Thank you!
The time of warning for the rear is always early thankfully! 🤓 so no you can’t change it from that
Nick, great video as ever. Just got a new GLC, connected a new USB C card reader, and it's not registered on the car?
Sadly I read in the manual USB hubs aren’t compatible with Mercedes multimedia systems
:( so don’t believe they’ll be a workaround
What were you trying to plug in?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video!
Thank you! 🤓🙏 glad you enjoyed it!
Very well done !!
Thank you! 🤓🙏
Good morning, quick question: how long does Mercedes update their systems? I have a MB from 2020 Class A and I wonder if it is possible for the latest MBUX 2.4 update to be supported by my version? does Mercedes do the same thing as, for example, Apple, by disabling its systems from updating, which is combined with an "encouragement" to buy a newer version of the car?
So Mercedes provide updates for a number of years (although they don’t disclose the number as far as I know). These are probably going to be security and/or bug fixes.
Sat Nav updates are provided via a subscription on the Mercedes me store (usually free for 3 years from new, chargeable after that). This does vary round the world so chat to Mercedes themselves for exact specifics.
Then comes the generations of MBUX 👍🏼
MBUX NTG 6 (Gen 1)
MBUX NTG 7 (Gen 2)
MBUX NTG 7.5 / MBUX NTG 8 (Gen 3)
These are not software updates, they have new hardware because they’re installed on a new models with new features so software updates wouldn’t work in that scenario.
There’s no disabling, they’re physically new cars with new multimedia systems.
Hope that helps!
@@npoleary yes that’s make sense. Thanks 😃
Thanks for another great video Nick. I have a question about the ambient lightning on the new GLC 300 Suv. The air vents don’t get illuminated and I don’t see the accent option in the MBUX light section. Is there more than one lighting package for this model or is it maybe a technical problem that needs to be serviced? Thanks in advance for your advice.
No sadly as far as I’ve seen, it’s just Mercedes compact cars that have ambient light in the vents. More subtle approach on some higher end models from what I’ve seen 🤓
Great video👍🏻
Is there a way to change music tracks from the steering wheel? Or fast forward/rewind podcasts for example. I can’t find a dedicated button for that.
When I use navigation for example there is no button on the steering wheel that does music track change. So strange
Thank you!
I made a video about that on my channel: th-cam.com/video/maLBpVNBpjM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jTxFZi76g1R-k-WW
I have order it a C Class 300 4MATIC 2023..Im waiting..I will have the same settings on my MBUX ? Or not cause it's the different car ? If i have the same i want watch this video soo i can learn about MBUX. Thanks!
If you’ve ordered a new C-Class then yeah it will defo have the latest generation of MBUX 🤓
Hi Nick , videos great but just picked up my new GLA 200 Today and I cant get the "Hey mercedes" voice command to call people from my list. can you help please
Ah nice! Well first and foremost when you connected your phone did you select yes for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
If you did then you need to use Siri or Google to make the call.
However if you haven’t selected those two and you’re just using Bluetooth then let me know what phone you have and I’ll suggest something else.
Hey bro your videos are really very helpful. I recently purchased a new GLC and so it comes with the latest MBUX system so while setting up my profile I have done both fingerprint and voice recognition, but every time I sit inside my car always it asks for fingerprint. What do I have to do to select my profile using voice recognition feature? And moreover the easy entry and exit feature is on but the seats don’t move while entering the car…it only moves a tad bit backwards while stepping out. So it would be very helpful if you would clarify these. Thank you.
Thank you!
I’m sure the voice thing is easier to use if you’re swapping drivers. Reason I say that is because MBUX takes a little while to load up when you turn it on in the morning, which also includes the Hey Mercedes voice assistant which you’d need to use. So it’s probably quicker to just have the pin off (if you’re just using the car yourself and not sharing with others).
For easy / entry and exit, that can happen in any car, depends how it’s configured so not sure if it’s changed since I last produced some tips and tricks on it. In Mercedes cars basically and in a nutshell it only works in certain seating positions.
Sadly for me being 6ft 2” it won’t work for me because I’m too tall.
Easy Entry/Exit will only work if you are shorter in height and need the seat to move back further away from the wheel in order to get out.
Hi Nick, nice view! Is there an option for satellite view on the driver cluster screen? if so does it come up like google earth (like the main screen)? thanks
Hey carlmason8033, I believe so I’m sure I’ve seen that on there before!
Does it have some kind of screensaver mode so it looks less "techy" or even tge option for tge display to be off? With a tap to wake feature perhaps?
No sadly not seen a screensaver before but you can toggle the display off with the power button. This doesn’t turn it completely off, as you can still access A/C controls etc
I recently purchased a 2023 C300 and found your video helpful for a few items, but I was wondering id there a way to change the name on the Navigation system, for example I wish to save a place into favourites, but in a month or two I will not remember the name of the street can I edit the street name to something I can remember, so can I change 16 Hill street to Toms Place?
Many thanks Mike Brisbane Australia
Ah nice! If you head to the favourites menu (the one with the star) you can hold an icon to rename it
Hi Nick I have just picked up my GLC 300DE Hybrid but I have noticed that my dash air vents do not light up with the ambient lighting is the same on all GLCs
Ah very nice! 👌🏼
Probably best to ask someone who works at Mercedes on that one they’ll be able to offer greater clarity 🤓
From what I know though, I do recall that they had ambient lights in the vents a while ago but from the sounds of it their specification may have changed (car manufacturers do this several times throughout the year). One of the reasons I don’t list what’s on packages in my videos as it could be out of date a few months later
@@npoleary Hi Nick thanks for clarifying that thought that it could a setting I was missing.
Hi @nick. Great video….
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🙏
@nick does mbux navigation show the lanes while navigating like what google does? Do we need update the map manually on regular basis?
It’ll show you some lane guidance from what I’ve seen when exiting a motorway but I don’t believe it does for town driving.
Maps are updated as long as you have a valid subscription and it’s linked to your Mercedes account
Hi Nick, I've just purchased a new GLE53 AMG. I was surprised it doesn’t have augmented reality. My previous car was a GLE450, and it did. Is there any reason for this?
Hey Remo, it depends on the specification so if you chat with Mercedes, they’ll let you know.
I haven’t seen Augmented Reality on cars that I’ve reviewed for a couple of years now though. There are a couple that still do have it but they’re on S-Class etc.
Hello Nick, I have a 2024 CLE and I keep setting the automatic mirrors to fold in but it keeps turning off, do you know why?
Are you logged into a profile with your name on the screen when you get in? If you’re using Guest then it won’t save any settings
Hi Nick, apologies for the off topics. I’m still waiting for my vehicle which since December 2022, is recorded in the Mercedes database as “ready for distribution”. Based on your expertise, do you might have an explanation? Thanks, and regards from Italy.
Hey AnikiF, really sorry you’ll have to speak with Mercedes for updates on orders. I only produce reviews and tutorials on my channel and only have access to cars at my local Mercedes.
They should be keeping you on the loop though!
@@npoleary Hey Nick, i was just guessing you could have any info. I’m talking to them on a weekly basis, but I get the same answer. Couldn’t believe that MB logistics is so weak… Anyway It’s ok, thanks for your time and your kindness, and your interesting videos!
Nick, another good video as usual, but you seem to always show sat nav videos on cars top of the range which have the best features, but in my case, i can't afford these models.
I have just taken delivery of a new 2023 GLA 200 sport which I am thoroughly enjoying, so I could do with a video of my sat nav as i am having problems setting favourites in the sat nav plus a few other settings within the sat nav.

Hey bowman, thank you! Well I’ve tried to produce all the Sat nav’s systems that Mercedes have

MBUX Gen 2: th-cam.com/video/zNzmgJ8ysRw/w-d-xo.html
I’d imagine it’ll be one of the last two if it’s a fairly new one 👍🏼
Do you have a touchpad in the middle? If so it’ll be MBUX Gen 1
Hi Nick,
Can you backup settings in NTG7 ? Can you import from NTG6 ?
No sadly not, I’ve not seen this on the new generation multimedia system. It’s definitely not on my A-Class in the menus.
Nick as i will have a GLC 300e do you do Charging points everywhere ?
Hey Mac there are quite a few charging points in the UK. Check out the UK’s full list by downloading an App called Zap Map:

I am getting an EQB next month on lease but from a different company, can I still go to mercedes and set this up for my profile or not? Many thanks.
Yeah it doesn’t matter where you bought your car from, take it to any dealer.
Just take your V5 and proof of ID in and they’ll link it to your account.
In the case of leasing you may not have a V5 so just take some form of proof of ownership in, email confirmation of the car, delivery note or something that proves you are the end user of the car.
@@npoleary Thank you Nick, I'll make sure to take all paperwork and ID with me to the dealership. 🙌🏻
How do you keep navigation voice on as you are speaking on the phone through the system? I've noticed navigation stops giving voice directions when connected on the phone call.
There’s a setting called Driving Recommendations during phone call, what multimedia system do you have? Or what year and model of Mercedes?
Nick just gone from a 2021 GLE 400d W167 to a X254 GLC300 Ntg7...how / can you change radio station using the steering wheel touch pad like I could on the W167 GLE??
If you swipe up/down on the instrument cluster you can get to the part where it shows you the music information. From here swipe left/right to change track
I’m loving my new A200 which I’ve had about 3 weeks now. Just one niggle with ntg7. I’ve added the dashcam as a favourite and I reorder the list so dashcam is first and confirm the new position. But the position isn’t being retained & next time I return to the car the order has reset to default. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
I would have thought favourites would retain the list but have you not got the dashcam symbol on the top left? Got a video coming soon on the dashcam, it’s faster to start it this way.
With the favourites though, a few other people have asked me about that but sadly I don’t know. Best thing if you don’t think something’s right, just get in touch with Mercedes and I’m sure they’ll be able to help!
@@npoleary Thanks for the reply Nick. Yes I can start the dashcam from the icon on the screen but my preference would be to start it from the steering wheel rather than touching the screen. Luckily I have the interior assistant on my car & I’ve realised I can set it to start with the gesture control. That works well for me.
Ah nice that’s a good idea!
Hi Nick, I was wondering is there a shortcut button on the steering wheel that I can quickly switch between "radio" and "media" and see it on the front screen? The only way I can do at this time is to use the steering wheel controls to control the main center screen. I'm new to Mercedes Benz, been driving BMWs for almost 20 years, BMW steering wheel has a "mode" button that can quickly switch between different media source. Thanks!
No sadly not, it’s all controlled on the centre screen from what I’ve seen
@@npoleary Thanks, Nick!
No worries! 🤓
Thank you for this full passing through the mbux. I am new on Mercedes..a gle53amg and even I got friendly enough with the mbux..i did learned a lot of useful details and got all the answers .
Great video. I watched all your other videos before i got the car.
Hi Nick. I have a 2023 EQE SUV (US Version). My question is about the commuter routing. On my 2021 GLE450 the commuter route would start and run with out any input. With this EQE it will just ocasionally throw a notice on the middle screen that the "home" route is available but you have to click start to turn on the route. When you do this it announces turns just like a normal route. I prefer the old way where it is silent but does show any delays on the route. Is there setting that I can change to make it behave this way? Thank you!
Sadly I’ve only seen a pre-production EQE SUV so not really had a complete hands on experience with it.
I hope to in the future! It is a different multimedia so it could be different in the newer ones
Hi Nick, how do you change station in background for NTG 7. Thanks!
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen 🤓 then you can change tracks
Or Say “next track”
@@npoleary Thanks, Nick! It works when I say "next rack" but swipe up from bottom of the screen doesn't seem to work, the only way I can do is to use the "last track" or "next track" icon next to the "home" icon.
@jeffreychen5241 oh right if you have a model with the portrait screen there’s already a next track button there so you can’t swipe up in addition to the buttons that’s already there
Saying “Next Track” is by far the easiest! 🤓
I have always wondered how to play video/ netflix on the mbux
Sadly it’s not something officially support by Mercedes (at least it’s not in their brochures)
Some cars can do video playback depending on their equipment but I have answered this my frequently asked question series:

Might be useful to you! 🤓
Hi Nick, you said we can 'hotspot off our phone'. I want to get some clarification on that. Does that mean I do not need to get the data package offered by T-Mobile in the states? I can use my phone as a hotspot and have the car join the hotspot?
Yes that’s right but bear in mind I only have access to cars in the UK. Specs vary massively round the world so it will vary.
I’ve found it in Settings and then SYSTEM and Internet and Connectivity 🤓
Hi Nick, I’ve got the new C Class but don’t have Zero Layer? Any ideas how I could enable it please?
If you hold the home button in the middle of the screen you can toggle between the two 🤓
I have a dashcam on my car but it has to be turned on every time I get into the car, which is silly and not something that I would expect from a marque like Mercedes, so I had one installed that records 24/7
Yup that’s a good choice!
Which one did you get?
Mercedes dashcam has always been a manual start here: th-cam.com/video/xkXyOzoLpO0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PUO7kbcMUEhnOpBs
3rd party dashcam review: th-cam.com/video/8ebjU6TelQ8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=B2I0UKYNzMRR7DMY
I noticed that too but when I started using my profile, the dadhcam is starting auto.
Thanks Nick this is very useful. A couple of questions if I may?
1. In my profile I set the dynamic to Eco, but when I start the engine this reverts to comfort although Eco is still selected. I have selected the ask button which is ok as when I switch the engine on it asks if I want to drive in the same mode as last journey. I understand that this can be changed from the touch bar but is there a way that I can get it to follow the choice in my profile setting to save having to change it every time?
2. The elements in the driver display appear very limited compared to my previous GLC. I could select to change any of the three areas but I can’t seam to do this. I appear to only be able to change the centre display as I can’t seam to access either the right or left elements to chant the display. I am sure it must be possible but I can’t find it?
Many thanks again.
Hey Steve, thank you!
No sadly Comfort is how cars always start, you can change this afterward though as you said but they’ll always start in their default mode.
For the displays, that’s because they’re completely different:
th-cam.com/video/Ft318ejsnu0/w-d-xo.html
I covered that in this video to let everyone know there is a difference between them. The new GLC has pre-set themes.
@@npoleary thank Nick.. it’s a shame I loved being able to change all three colom
Whoops… it’s a shame I enjoyed being able to change each of the three columns and also the large digital speed. Let’s hope it all returns in the next update.
Hi Nick got a MBUX NTG7 and couldn’t find other POI,s menu to add the speed camera software that is in the usb stick, could you tell me where it is on this platform?
It’s on the Navi screen under Navi settings but it’s different depending on which car you have when I been in Mercedes cars.
Usually around
HOME
PICTURE OF CAR
SETTINGS
VIEW
POI SYMBOLS ON MAP
Not all cars can do Personal Poi’s from what I’ve heard so double the compatibility on the SCDB website 🤓
How do you get the radio to display the track name.? The mbux in the CLA shows the track but not the vertical screen in the GLC. ?
Sadly not been in one and used Radio for a long time, need to visit my local dealer again 😅
Is it not this: share.icloud.com/photos/0a5jPklGJMzCwZ5ef1mFkzDFw
I thought it was called Radio Text Information or something similar
@@npoleary that option doesn’t appear on the GLC.. perhaps you can’t display radio text information in the new MBUX.!
That was a screenshot from the manual, i just looked it up…unless I’ve just thought of something.
Maybe it’s only visible on the classic view. If you hold the home button and toggle between Zero Layer and Classic layer, does that make a difference?
Hi, you said the 2023 A Class has NTG7 but no mention of this is made in the brochures, and even when I contacted MB UK they couldn't give me an answer, so what is the actual position?
Hey Harrod Stokes, yes I can confirm NTG 7 is on the new A-Class 2023.

Thanks Nick. Is it possible to play an iPod(mp3)player using the USB-C dongle. I get a message that device is not supported.
Hey Jim, no sadly iPods are not made by Apple anymore and as such the software to use them isn’t available anymore.
To playback music in a car you’ll have to use a memory stick with files on or use a smartphone.
Here’s all the ways you can play music: th-cam.com/video/YxHJZbGDIvI/w-d-xo.html
Hi Nick, I was wondering why I can't control the ventilation speed on the passenger side for my glc, like the wheel is spit into 2 instead of 4 now...
Not sure what you mean, so if it's a new GLC 2023, then it's all controlled on the bottom of the screen.
If the fan speed can be adjusted for both sides then they'll be fan on both sides, if the fan can only do one side then it'll just have fan for one.
@@npoleary Yes, so like in the video you have control for fan speed on both sides, but I'm missing the control keys for the passenger side. Is that normal?
It depends on the specification of the car, there are options for more climate control buttons and controls. In some cars that I’ve reviewed, they have 4 zone climate control with fan speed adjustment for 4 passengers. Some cars will just have one fan speed adjustment and dual temp, just depends what you opted for 🤓
Hey Nick, Im assuming they no longer have the recommended and theme setting like on the 6?
Suggestions for radio stations not recommended
No not seen that on the new version, it’s certainly not on my own car. There’s a few things that I think Mercedes removed but then a few things also added and improved too.
@@npoleary thank you. I always feel like I'm talking to a celebrity😆😆😆
No worries! Haha 🙃 not sure about that! 😅
Hi Nick. Is there a way to turn off the radio so it doesn't come on when you start the car and the screen stays blank? TIA.
Only if you turn the screen off before leaving the car, it’ll resume basically where you left off (same volume and last menu etc)
You're a star! @@npoleary
Just wanted to clarify since I have a 2024 GLS450 on order in the states - but is the refreshed MBUX in the 2024 NTG 7 with the smaller screen, or is it still considered NTG 6?
Nah if it’s the new GLS I’d imagine it’ll be NTG 7. I’ve got NTG 7 in my A-Class which has a similar landscape screen 🤓
@@npoleary Thank You! MBUSA doesn’t do the greatest job sharing technical information. Your videos are excellent!
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Hi Nick, another question I have is when the car is parked while engine is still running. The odometer shows a warning " Vehicle ready to drive Shut down occurs when locked or automatically in certain minutes". Any way to disable this?
Yeah on the multimedia system just tap the message that appears at the top of the central screen and it’ll stay on instead of turning off
@@npoleary Thanks! I’ll try that when I see the message next time
Hello Nick et al, I have been struggling with Automatic Volume adjustment on NTG 7 MBUX with Burmeister in my 2023 GLC. (standard stereo system does have this option) There is no way to turn it off as the menu option simply does not exist. Local dealer could not help me at all and just confirmed the fact that other C class cars in the shop had the same issue. Is there a chance anyone has heard about a way of disabling the auto volume? Thank you.
Hey Sergii, I’ve not seen an option for this
I presume it’s something that is always enabled and cannot be switched off.
I’m guessing this is a feature to help with the speed of the car? So the faster you go, the more the volume increases etc
@@npoleary hello Nick. Thanks for replying. I have searched everywhere and yes, I believe it cannot be changed. But the experience is not really great, as the volume changes quite aggressively rather than smoothly. Will continue chasing my local dealer to follow up on the ticket that we have opened within Mercedes support.
