    Hey everyone, for those asking about the eject from sunroof command on MBUX. This is genuinely real!
    However it is only found on the portrait styled version of MBUX (MBUX v2 / NTG 7 currently found in C-Class, EQE, EQS & soon to be the new SL and new GLC next year).

      Hi Nick, you never said HOW to set the Speed Limiter, this would be really really useful for preventing speeding tickets in 30 zones, for going 1 MILE OVER!!!!!!

    Yeah, Nick! You've fulfilled a number of roles I think M-B ought to have done considering the price of the cars. Your info about owning an M-B is invaluable.
    I wish you'd published this video 24 hours earlier. I'm in my 4th week with my EQA in Tokyo. I pulled into work yesterday morning and got out of the car to open the gate to the garage. No problem. Back into the car and try to shift into drive and .... nothing .... then some message about "emergency" and "key" > check the owner's manual. WHAT?! I'm blocking the sidewalk AND the drive to the parking garage. DO WE REALLY NEED TO DO THIS NOW?!!!!
    Your tip about a dead battery in the key fob is EXACTLY what I needed to get the car running again.

    I am so very happy to have discovered your fantastic tutorials on MBZ! The manual is daunting to say the least, and puts one to sleep. My 2016 350 wagon was ready to begin eating money, after around 80,000 miles. We walked into a dealership to see how long it takes to order a new wagon. We’d heard up to a year. Sitting on the lot was a fully loaded cardinal red 450 wagon. It was “used” with 100 miles on it! A guy bought it for his wife but she didn’t like it. What fantastic news for us! A CPO certified car that was such a deal! We traded in the older cardinal red car on the spot. Poor new car has had to sit outside in the first and biggest snowstorm of the season. We’re in the midst of moving to a new home so the garage is full. Thanks for your great help with tutorials. I will be viewing them over and over until they are fully ingrained in my brain. I think there were features on my previous car that never got used,

    Thanks for the tips Nick, very useful as ever. I'm glad you used that particular model because it allows me to comment on my pet hate for Mercedes interiors. Why oh why do they insist on using that awful false woodgrain effect?
    Personal taste I know, but I think it's incredibly tacky. It's actually stopped me from considering certain models as it's as tasteful as flocked wallpaper; especially on high end models.

    If you turn on the limiter you can actually still override the max speed if you put the pedal completely to the floor. It's usually in emergency situation where speeding up a safer course of action than breaking like on highways for example

    Hi Nick, love your reviews. Just one clarification: on 7:50 you say: iPhones could be a little bit funny with contacts. It's quite the opposite, they are very serious when it comes to protecting your data. When you don't allow the sync of the contacts in the initial pairing, then the iPhone will not allow it from then on to protect your data. Thank you for showing how to work around that if you didn't allow it by accident and you are indeed ok with sharing your contacts with this car.

    • @npoleary
      @npoleary  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey cesstra, thank you! Sorry that’s not what I meant at all. Sorry if you took it the wrong way.
      When connecting Bluetooth, on the odd occasion the contacts pop up never appears which is a bug either on the phone side or car side. So you have unpair and disconnect the whole thing and start again.
      Absolutely, Apple are at the forefront of privacy and data is seriously encrypted on all devices.
      Just annoying from time to time that the Allow Contacts pop doesn’t appear.

    Another good one especially the key one. Don’t agree with radio auto starting. If you turn off the car with the radio on. It will play on re starting the car. If before you turn off the car press in the volume on the steering wheel or centre console. Which turns off the radio or media. When you start the car again the radio will not play.

    Hi Nick,
    I am having a very strange behaviour with Mercedes' proprietary app called "mercedes me". It is very good because it allows to share addresses straight from my iPhone Google maps to the car's (GLE 450) GPS. It has unfortunately stopped working since Mid August 2022 after the latest iOS mandatory update release from Apple. Every time I am getting an error message as ‘ location could not found’ from the Mercedes me. Are you aware of this issue and it’s fix? Thanks for being always accessible to your fan base of Mercedes community.

    • @npoleary
      @npoleary  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey sambakorea, this is quite common among iPhones. Traditionally Bluetooth on iOS is only for Calls, Texts and music.
      The sending of addresses can sometimes stop working after an iOS update as resets some parameters.
      Just a unpair from Bluetooth in the car and phone and reconnect both back up will fix it. 👍🏼

      My observation was the Google Maps, Apple Maps and What3Words all had this issue after the iOS update (15.7 I believe it was). Since then Apple Maps has started working again, and given MercedesMe hasn’t been updated, this suggests the map products may need an update to work with the iOS update.
      I have since installed iOS 16 and this has not changed the situation. So does look like it could be an intentional change from Apple that Google and W3W still need to update for.
      As I say, just my observation and thoughts, haven’t been able to find anything official from any of the parties mentioned.

I'm struggling with setting my HOME address in the nav menu, any tips on how to do this please ? Everytime the system asks if I would like to set the HOME address I say yes, it saves but when I voice command HOME it says no home address found or stored.

      I am almost 100% confident that preheating your car through Mercedes Me does NOT affect the battery temperature - atleast not noticeably -, and therefore does NOT affect charging time.

    Nick - I've been watching just about all of your videos related to my recently purchased EQS 580 and they are great. Thanks so much for doing them. I have a question if you still read these comments. I've paired my iPhone with the MBUX, allowed the contacts and favorites to sync, and enabled Apple CarPlay. CarPlay works great but I am really enjoying MBUX so I want to mostly use that interface. The contacts still don't sync so I can't just say, "Her Mercedes. Call ..." then list someone in my contacts. If I want to do that, I need to switch to CarPlay and ask Siri to do it. The dealership tells me that once CarPlay is enabled that the contacts won't sync to MBUX - it's just one or the other. True or is there something I've failed to do to be able to use contacts in MBUX? Thanks for any assistance.

    • @npoleary
      @npoleary  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey! Ah glad you enjoy them!
      Yes so for the best user experience (this is for any car as I cover various manufacturers and they’re all the same)
      You must choose one or the other. For example in Mercedes if you have Apple CarPlay on, MBUX will suspend some of its functions and expect you to use CarPlay.
      I’ve not been in an EQS for a while since I filmed one with Mercedes some time ago but it’ll be in the phone menu and you’re looking for some icons that have
      Phone icon, Media icon & Apple CarPlay icon (this will probably be selected at the moment).
      Press Home, Phone and look for the like a Bluetooth device manager option where you’ll find these icons.
      Another thing you could do on your phone is press Settings, Bluetooth, find your car and turn off CarPlay in there which will force the car to use Bluetooth enabling the phonebook to appear on MBUX.

I am able to toggle between using CarPlay and BT but wanted to see whether you could confirm that the contacts would not be available to the phone function for both MBUX and CarPlay.

    • @npoleary
      @npoleary  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ah that’s just the way CarPlay works. CarPlay is a completely separate UI and when enabled it’ll make the multimedia system in a car swap to CarPlay. You can use both together but you’ll find that you’ll be hopping between UI’s often as they both compete for your attention.
      For example if you have a text come through, that’ll interrupt whatever’s on the screen and show you that instead.

      Bluetooth connectivity works from any place in the car, it could remain in your pocket, centre console or any space that works. Some cars have wireless charging next to the cup holders and even in some cars, you can take the cup holders out for extra space!

    Good afternoon. If you don'thave ant vídeos on the subject, like to ask if you make one about how to get radio stations to show the names of artists and songs. Thanks for working and sharing.

    We have a 2023 AMG GT 53. When we activate the Cruise Control and drive by a MPH sign the car reads the speed limit and slows to that speed.. In general this is a safety feature, but does provide safety during the summer when school is not in session. Is there a way to shut this feature off?

      Oooo nice! Yes I have seen it before on Mercedes cars. It’s under Traffic Sign Assist and a thing called “Adopt Speed”.
      Central Display:
      HOME
      SETTINGS
      ASSISTANCE
      TRAFFIC SIGN ASSIST
      ADOPT SPEED
      This may vary round the world and from system to system and my memory might not he 100% accurate but it should be roughly in that area.
      Let me know how you get on 🤓👍🏼

    How do I get my mb GLB to play louder than what it is able to ?

    • @npoleary
      @npoleary  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not sure I completely understand…you can turn the volume up and down in the car but you can’t make it any louder than the top of the volume level.
      Unless the source of the music is made louder but go careful or your speakers might get damaged if it’s too loud!

      @@npoleary yes, you understood quite well. There’s only two things I don’t like about my GLB with the 3rd row is the cream color and that the volume is not as loud as I would expect. Other than that it’s an excellent compact SUV. I wish MB sells seat covers though.
