Haha yep they are really helpful. A lot of people ask what I'd do if I got a flat tyre with no spare since ditching the run flats. I'd press that button! 😅
My favorite tips were the Mercedes Me button tutorial, the double lock, the 10-second hold to only unlock the driver door, and the split-screen mode. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing vid and so much info, thanks! I know I'm 2 years late, but does anyone know how to stop Traffic Sign assist from showing up in the dash? I've tried everything and nothing works to turn it off from showing up.
The steering wheel CAN change tracks. You just have to be on the Media screen, but once you're on there, the touch button on the right side of the steering wheel can control the tracks. Swipe down once to go forward a track, swipe up once to restart the track, swipe up twice to go back a track. Only downside is if you're not displaying the Media screen, then this does not work. Also, I've never tried the concierge service before so that was really cool! I wonder how much less the car would've cost if it didn't have that service haha
I bought the C 300 sedan when it first came out. I had so many problems with it that Mercedes let me swap it for a C400. That car had even more problems… I was living at the service department. And that console piano black trim was a scratch and dust magnet. I couldn’t in good conscience sell it privately so I traded it for a C coupe made in Germany. That made all the difference in quality control (the sedans were made in US)…. almost 4 years in, only a few warranty issues.
I don't actually know how anybody buys any other cars.. I always default for a C300 4matic, so far your video has convinced me for my next Mercedes to be a c43 AMG. You're forgetting the cool trunk foot sensor for when you're carrying things in your hands and can open/close the trunk hands-free.

@@cstedyy425 It’s a fantastic car for city use. I live very rural with bad roads and actually scraped the bottom one time. So I had to return mine for a more practical car, and got a 2023 GLC AMG-line. But enjoy yours!
Great video. In addition to tip #22: There is an "emotion start" provided by MBZ on AMG models. Simply hold down one of your shifter paddles before you start the engine, gives you a few good pops n bangs without going through all the other steps. Enjoy :)
Thanks Justin! Love the emotion start but unfortunately my C43 does not have it :( It got added mid 2019 to the C43 and mines an early 2019 so I just missed it!
Unsure about the UK but here in the US if you turn the ignition to position 2, then set the drive mode to Sport+ then start the engine, the car will rev on start exactly like the “emotion start” in newer models. My pre facelift C43 with the older command system does this.
I do not understand everybody’s fixation on “pops and bangs.” There motion start on my 2023 C-43 AMG makes an interesting F-1 sound but “pops and bangs” sounds like you are having mechanical or fuel problems.
Hopefully getting my first MB this next week, I was looking for an sq5 plus, whilst driving past a Citroen garage there was the curveball a 2017 GLC 350 d 4 matic amg in grey, which is like a spaceship inside, I said to my son that’s the one so reserve is on just sorting finance, you have got yourself another subscriber 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😎😎
Thanks Miranda. The 2018 E300 is an amazing car you are going to love it! One of my favourite Mercedes interiors and the E300 is a great engine too! I hope the collection goes well!
Great video, well put together and informative. I'll be checking out one of two features I've missed! Here's one you probably know already....The base of the door bins and front storage have a rubber bottom which pops out. Great for getting clean, especially when kids have left sticky wrappers or melted chocolate in there!
Great video, but you can change tracks/radio stations using the steering wheel. You just have to select music or radio to display in the dash, using the right menu on the steering wheel - then you can scroll up/down using the trackpad which will change the track. I’ve been using it everyday since I had mine. Ps glad to see you found my key charging tip useful 😉
Hi Roar Grime, Thanks for sharing. Quite the oversight from me not to include this! I was bothered by this in my prefacelift C300 which had the old steering wheel without the touchpads and since getting the newer C43 I guess I've been listening to the exhaust too much to realise the touchpads can skip tracks! 😁
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the tip with the timestamps too. I'm going to go back through my longer videos and add timestamps now :)
You’ve earned yourself a subscriber!! I heard that your newest subscriber gets your car completely free?😂 I’ve been umminh and arring about getting one of these, I think the little quirky bits this car has, pushes it over the edge! Not just need to wait for the market to come back down! Looking forward to catching up on all your videos!👊
Hey, Thank you. This will depend on the value of the car. If the car is more than 40k you have to pay an extra £390 a year for the first 5 years of the car from it's new date. So for example if your car was pushed over 39k list price from options such as premium pack it could push it into higher tax bracket but only before the car reaches 5 years old. This is for the UK :)
Hey man love the video!! I've had an issue with my C43 where there's a strange sound on start up, Mercedes-Benz have had the car for 6months "fixing" the issue, I now have it back but the sounds still there albeit much less and maybe not noticeable to anyone else but I know it will progressively get worse.. just wondering of you have had a similar issue??
Another video where I did learn some things about my C class that I didn't know....thanks. I agree that the cup holder and phone wire not fitting is a design flaw. Surely MB could have done something where the cup holder would have given access to the phone wire....or else make it all wireless. One thing I do find slightly annoying is that the volume for my turn signal is really low. A lot of times after turning it on I forget to turn it off because the sound is low. Any idea on how to make it louder. On my old E class it was really loud!
Hey John, thanks for the comment I'm glad you enjoyed the video and learned some new bits! Ah, I know what you mean about the turn signals I'm actually the opposite! Having owned two W205 C Classes I guess my ears have become used to the more quiet turn signals so when I drove the new CLA45s I found them too loud! That confirms its though the C class is quite unique with it's quiet turn signals. I'm not sure if you are able to increase the sound of these though I'm afraid.
It's an old video but fingers crossed there's an answer out there....my iPhone plays music just fine through the Comand interface on my C43 AMG, but there doesn't seem to be any way of accessing tracks, albums etc without scrolling through alphabetically right from the beginning every time. Massively tedious if you want ZZ Top for example! On my BMW you could spin the search wheel quickly to bring up a sub menu to allow you to select alphabetically. Is there a solution???
unfortunately, a lot of features are absent in my 2018 C-Class convertible. I'm stuck with the old command, 3 colors ambient light and way less options to set .
The app is compatible with the 2018 c class but you will need to check if it was spec’d on the car from new. It was an optional extra for the c class so not every car has it. You can check by taking your car to a Mercedes dealer and asking them. I think you can also have it fitted too if your car does not have it.
@@ABAUTOAMG Yo Adam. No bro, i was considering buying a used C class coupe and heard screens can have issues a few years later. Good to hear. Update: Looking at a 2017 e class coupe 220d. thanks for reply.
For the hill hold, after I put it on Hold, then jab the brake pedal hard, the Hold releases, so I don't have to use the Accelerator to let it go. Is that working as intended?
@@ABAUTOAMG that's how I expect it work, which it does. But there have been a few times when I jabbed the brake pedal, by accident, after putting it in Hold, and the car suddenly started moving. I don't think that's supposed to happen. I'm wondering if this happens to other people too?
Hmm im not sure It may be that any pressure on the brake pedal resets the system and deactivates it so the car moves. I will check in mine next time im out.
To do a loud start up put it in sport plus and then start the car but immediately hold the up shift gear thing then it will make the loudest start it can. Just a tip
when you hold the paddle and start, you're basically doing the same thing as going all the way to sport mode LOL! Why do you think AMG put that neat little trick in their cars? so a nugget like yourself wouldn't have to go through all of that
You can change music track from the steering wheel! I can in my C43 with both touchpads on the new steering wheel atleast. You go to media and slide button downwards or upwards! Nice video :)
@@ABAUTOAMG Glad to hear back from you, just want to say I used ur tip alot latest week! That way to change media track was even easier... so I don't need to get out my regular screens to change song haha. I have had 5 Mercedes cars so far and never used that "button" before:)!
Do you know how to set start stop permamently off? I had it turned off for almost 2 years (yellow icon with crossed A) but two days ago it changed and now I have to turn it off every time...
Hi Sw3ar, I'm not sure myself. Have you tried turning just the ignition on then switching it off before starting up the car? It may stick next time then otherwise I'm not sure if it's possible.
The concierge service was added to the c class with the 2019 facelift. I think you can get it on all models but it may be an optional extra or part as a pack.
Hey Louie, Sorry I'm not sure how best to fix this. I suspect it may just need a hard reset. I'd take it to Mercedes and hopefully they can reset it for you without having to replace any parts.
Have you ever had issues with the heated seats? I've had 2 brand new mercedes (an A200d and a A220d) with the new MBUX system and they've both had defective heated seats. I've taken this up with the dealer but they just keep fobbing me off
Hi Chris, Sorry to hear you've ran into these issues :( I've had two C classes from new and I've never had any problems with the heated seats. It may be an a class issue or you might just be very unlucky :( Keep nagging the dealer they should fix this under warranty. If they continue to refuse then I'd try a different dealer, it can vary sometimes which is another pain in it's self I know! :( The only issue I had with my seats on my previous car (C300 Coupe) was the drivers side seat suddenly developed a horrible creek. I took it to my dealer and they identified a broken clip and replaced it for me and it was all good.
\\\New Subscriber??? Respect to you my friend, I've just purchased my first ever Mercedes and you are introducing me to a whole new world. Martin from London.
You’re mistaken about number 9, you do have a next/previous track button on the steering wheel, it is one of the square buttons (either left or right), swipe your finger to the right for next track or swipe your finger to the left for previous track, if I remember well is like that
The square buttons are mini touch pads if you swipe your finger on the right one it moves selection around the digital dash. And the left square controls the center screen. They don’t work to change track unless you use them to select the change track button on the screen so unfortunately this is not the same as next/prev track buttons.
Hey Flipzside, I’m not sure if it’s possible to change this in comand but I think you can do it using a little device that unlocks some of the cars settings. I will look into this for you.
Hi all. I don't have this crazy C43 AMG version, i have the 220D 170 HP. Does anyone know if the difference from the 170 HP to the 204 HP is only remaping? Thx! Please keep up these great videos! Sorry my english...
@@ABAUTOAMG THX! I think so....I guess it's about 1 sec. fast and almost 10 Kph more. My question is if it's only software or something mechanic. I can get to 225 HP easy....I will post if i do it! Nice car you have!
Ah I think it really depends on the person. I personally love a coupe but can appreciate the cabriolets are great on the C class range. Especially the AMG's :)
If you haven't already, could you make a tips video with the current MBUX system. This is the old command interface along with the out dated phone app.
Hi Andrew, I'm hoping to get my hands on one of these soon to cover the new MBUX and I'm also hoping to buy the new w206 C63s when it arrives so plenty of modern content to come in the near future :)
on my c class u can actually skip songs u have to press the home button go to media and once ur in media u can use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel
hey man, i recently bought a second hand 2019 c43 amg. i am supper happy with it apart from one thing,,, it doesn't have the performance exhaust. Do you think it is worth the extra money to get the performance exhaust, or do i just deal with it.
Hey! Congrats on your C43! The car still sounds great without the performance exhaust you just miss out on the crackles and a bit louder pops. The exhaust does make it better but its a great car either way!
Hi Adit, I'd love to do some reviews and videos on the new mbux. I'm hoping to be able to borrow some new cars to test from Mercedes this year. I will be covering the W206 C class when it arrives too for sure.
I think the W206 C63s will be epic for content here on the channel next year maybe. Even though the v8 is gone :( The car has some impressive technology and F1 bits that I think people will be really interested to see. That being said it will have to be fun and amazing to drive when I test also to make me buy it :)
I never thought the mercedes me button could make a hotel reservation😂😂😂😂😂😂

The concierge service was added to the c class with the 2019 facelift. I think you can get it on all models but it may be an optional extra or part as a pack.
Awesome vid
Thanks Steve!
another great video😀 im collecting my 66 plate c63 amg in the same colour as yours tomorrow cant wait😀👍
Thanks Steve. Wow you must be excited! You are going to love it. Great colour choice too if I may say so! 😉
@@ABAUTOAMG just got home with it is amazing and that noise 👍and yes best colour of course 👍😀
i dont see enging data on my c400 2015?
Hi there I gat C43 amg 2019 my car is keep saying navigation updates or Sd & navigation is not working any tips on it thx
Hey Louie, Sorry I'm not sure how best to fix this. I suspect it may just need a hard reset. I'd take it to Mercedes and hopefully they can reset it for you without having to replace any parts.
That first one is a brake hold, nothing to do with hills
Have you ever had issues with the heated seats? I've had 2 brand new mercedes (an A200d and a A220d) with the new MBUX system and they've both had defective heated seats. I've taken this up with the dealer but they just keep fobbing me off
Hi Chris, Sorry to hear you've ran into these issues :( I've had two C classes from new and I've never had any problems with the heated seats. It may be an a class issue or you might just be very unlucky :( Keep nagging the dealer they should fix this under warranty. If they continue to refuse then I'd try a different dealer, it can vary sometimes which is another pain in it's self I know! :( The only issue I had with my seats on my previous car (C300 Coupe) was the drivers side seat suddenly developed a horrible creek. I took it to my dealer and they identified a broken clip and replaced it for me and it was all good.
@@ABAUTOAMG thank you. Love your videos and your car btw 👍🏽
Turns out it was a faulty controller unit so I was actually just very unlucky! All repaired and working now. I look forward to your next video 👍🏽
@@chriskeefe4676 Ah thats great to hear you got it sorted. Thats so unlucky!
Abouto does c class still do proximity when the key fob is of like hold unlock and lock
\\\New Subscriber??? Respect to you my friend, I've just purchased my first ever Mercedes and you are introducing me to a whole new world. Martin from London.
Thank you! Welcome and congrats on your Mercedes too!
Excellent video.
Thanks Adam 👍
You’re mistaken about number 9, you do have a next/previous track button on the steering wheel, it is one of the square buttons (either left or right), swipe your finger to the right for next track or swipe your finger to the left for previous track, if I remember well is like that
The square buttons are mini touch pads if you swipe your finger on the right one it moves selection around the digital dash. And the left square controls the center screen. They don’t work to change track unless you use them to select the change track button on the screen so unfortunately this is not the same as next/prev track buttons.
@@ABAUTOAMG well, that’s better than nothing
Random - but how do I change the temperature units? The car I purchased was changed to Celsius, but need it in Fahrenheit……..
Hey Flipzside, I’m not sure if it’s possible to change this in comand but I think you can do it using a little device that unlocks some of the cars settings. I will look into this for you.
@@ABAUTOAMG thanks! I’m racking my brain and I can’t figure it out. Last ditch effort is to go back to the dealership haha.
for the camera shot at 7:30, how/where did u attatch ur camera to?
Hey Nassim, this is just on my tripod at a higher setting.
@@ABAUTOAMG ah ok, thanks
where is the TCU mode to change to my driving preferences ?
Learnt a couple of tips - sadly command touch does not support the iPhone
Hey David, That's a shame to hear I saw they had apps on the store but I use an android phone so I've been unable to test them myself.
Great video. Thanks
Thanks!
Great tips again, especially the Me button
Thanks Mark! Glad you found it helpful. The Me button is great!
Thank you
@ 2:50 in your video, did you switch front grills on the vehicle ?
Nah thats the C63s, theres C43 and C63s footage in this video :)
I don't have park assist, does anyone know how much it would be to add that feature?
Hi all. I don't have this crazy C43 AMG version, i have the 220D 170 HP. Does anyone know if the difference from the 170 HP to the 204 HP is only remaping? Thx! Please keep up these great videos! Sorry my english...
Hi! You should feel a good power increase with a remap on your car :)
@@ABAUTOAMG THX! I think so....I guess it's about 1 sec. fast and almost 10 Kph more. My question is if it's only software or something mechanic. I can get to 225 HP easy....I will post if i do it! Nice car you have!
What's the app called on iPhone
What is the app name for app store? iPhone
Do people prefer the coupe or the cabriolet’s in say the c43 or e450 models
Ah I think it really depends on the person. I personally love a coupe but can appreciate the cabriolets are great on the C class range. Especially the AMG's :)
If you haven't already, could you make a tips video with the current MBUX system. This is the old command interface along with the out dated phone app.
Hi Andrew, I'm hoping to get my hands on one of these soon to cover the new MBUX and I'm also hoping to buy the new w206 C63s when it arrives so plenty of modern content to come in the near future :)
Thanks a bunch, I just picked up my c250. Lots of neat things I had absolutely no clue about.
Ah you are so welcome! Thanks for watching and enjoy your new car!
Do these features apply to SE 2017 also?
Quite a few should work yep!
Gd vid
on my c class u can actually skip songs u have to press the home button go to media and once ur in media u can use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel
how do I reply to a wassap message using my display? I can see my messages but cannot reply to them
Hi where do I find the COMMAND app?
Hi, It should just be on the App Store. In this video I used my android phone.
hey man, i recently bought a second hand 2019 c43 amg. i am supper happy with it apart from one thing,,, it doesn't have the performance exhaust. Do you think it is worth the extra money to get the performance exhaust, or do i just deal with it.
Hey! Congrats on your C43! The car still sounds great without the performance exhaust you just miss out on the crackles and a bit louder pops. The exhaust does make it better but its a great car either way!
Could you try using the new mbux system?
Hi Adit, I'd love to do some reviews and videos on the new mbux. I'm hoping to be able to borrow some new cars to test from Mercedes this year. I will be covering the W206 C class when it arrives too for sure.
18:14
hi, you can also push the gear selector down to D :)
Did the 2018 c43 not get the new grills
Facelift c43 got the older c63 grill and c63 got the pano gril :)
So when are we both upgrading to the c63 :)
I think the W206 C63s will be epic for content here on the channel next year maybe. Even though the v8 is gone :( The car has some impressive technology and F1 bits that I think people will be really interested to see. That being said it will have to be fun and amazing to drive when I test also to make me buy it :)
I don’t have the exhaust package😢
Sorry Tony, for some reason TH-cam put this comment under review for spam so I only just found it! No idea why!
sorry by saying that but, from 0:41 sec its C43 and from 0:44 C63 its shown up..
Yep that’s right there’s a mix of C43 and C63 rolling shots, I love both cars :)
