I kind of liked the one at 1: 50 where you explain that if there's a car behind you and you put it into reverse, the car will simply "slam on the engine!"
Nick, thanks for the great tip video, as a new C43 owner the MBUX system is driving me insane, I almost want to get rid of the car due to the complexity of the system, Im trying everything to understand how it works and your videos definitely help, My favorite tip for this video is controlling apple carplay, I must have turned it off by accident and it hasn’t been working for several weeks, You may have saved me a trip to the dealer to get it back on,Thanks again for all the great tip you provided!
I noticed the same with the rear sensors on the A-class, they start beeping a lot closer to the object than other manufacturers. Though not as bad with the rear if you have the rear camera, at least you got the camera for visibility. Narrow lanes on multi storey car parks can be a beep fest, which takes a bit of getting used to if you haven't had front sensors before, but it does help stop any accidental curbing of the wheels or bodywork scrapes, so can't complain.
Just watched this tutorial and it was incredibly helpful! I’ll be getting my Mercedes-Benz next week, and this has helped me a lot in understanding some of the features I’ll need to change 😊
Nick, thanks! This is a great video. There is so much tech in these new cars it’s truly a process of continuous learning. Here’s a question - 2024 GLC 300 - how can we mute/reduce the volume of the incoming text message announcements in MBUX? The new message notice is offensively loud and I actually find it distracting. Have tried a few things and often end up turning off Bluetooth which is less than ideal Thanks, Mark Ottawa, Canada
In Switzerland “Early warning” or “Warn all around” doesn’t make sense. Parking lots and shopping center’s garages are so narrow so the car beeps all the time. I turned it off right away.
I don’t own a Mercedes but I do appreciate videos on things that tend to be hidden in the manual. We all know guys are genetically incapable of reading manuals so we need an alternate source. I like the lane assist in my car except when I’m next to a large truck. At those points I really want to hug the other side of the lane.
Very good as ever Nick. A couple of q's - Is there a way of setting up the parking sensors to operate at a definitive distance - say for example I want to park 6 inches away from the end of my garage? The standard and early warning option seems a bit too subjective to my mind :) I like the Traffic Light view option but if I don't have it in my car, would Mercedes be prepared to upgrade my system in order to incorporate it? And along the same lines , if there are other options that I would like in my car that weren't included from new, is it likely that Mercedes would be prepared to install them? Fyi, it's a 2023 E400d Approved Used Mercedes running the MBUX6 software. All the best.
Drive away assist should not be able to be deactivated by anyone over the age of 60 - the amount of cars I have seen and herd of launched into the front of shops due to the elderly driver slamming down on the accelerator instead of the brake is alarming!
Always great information. Maybe you can answer this question for me. My 2021 MB C300 with easy entry/exit the front seat would go back and the steering wheel up to make it easy to exit. But my 2024 C300 the easy entry/exit the drivers seat moves forward when you try to exit making it more difficult to exit and upon entry when you start the car the seat moves back. Makes little sense to me. I hope that engineer is now looking for a new job.
Not found it an issue with Mercedes, but on some cars lane keeping assist can get confused by potholes and start try and fight you when you're driving in a straight line but go over a pothole!
Thank you, I had that alert for speed limit this morning backing up to my garage. Car would not let me get more than 2 feet from the door (which I appreciate), and would not let me continue, even with me hitting the accelerator. I just updated all my setting to "early" as the standard has me almost on top of things before the camera comes on, and starts to beep.
Hello Nick. I have been going through your videos, and I appreciate all that you have put together. I just purchased a new GLE, and an item that annoys me is the rear camera opening up every time I come up to a stoplight. Simply put, the parking assistance activates at slow speed on the road rather than in a parking area. Is there a way to deactivate it for only when it needs to be used in a parking area?
Hi Nick, Thanks for all tips. I have no clue, how to turn off the light being turn on automatically if the driver accientally moves the hand towards front passenger side. thanks in advance
Got a separate video on that! 👊🏼 th-cam.com/video/hS-Rn_-uHdA/w-d-xo.html&si=9UG5ZzrrSUIuIIy4 Video should start at the right bit for you with that link Glad you enjoy the videos!
Ah Nick great video again. Problem for me just bought a 24 GLA no messages are driving me mad. My last A200 I got a pop up. You have a WhatsApp message from someone do you want to hear yes or no. My GLA either just reads out every message out loud without asking (could be embarrassing) or I turned off announcements. Now I get nothing. My phone tings but no pop up message on screen. If I Hey Mercedes she says you have apple CarPlay for messaging. I make sure it’s on makes no difference. Any idea what settings are wrong?
Great video , is it possible to turn off the feature that lowers the volume when leasing to music when approaching a stop sign or red light , Thank you
Thank you! Oh really? I haven’t ever heard that before…which model and year do you have and whereabouts are you based (as I know specs vary round the world)
For some reason in the Netherlands the camera for augmented reality, traffic light view and dashcam is only delivered on AMG cars, even if you have a full option AMG line car the camera isn’t mounted. 😢
Great video, Nick. Some sterling tips, thank you. I see that at 5 minute 11 seconds there are phone numbers in view. Not sure if this is okay with you. FYI.
Haha thank you! Yeah they’re local businesses, I checked 🙏🙏 I could blur them on TH-cam I guess to be on the safe side but they’re public numbers anyway 🤓 Thanks for keeping an eye out for me! 😜
Haha sadly I can’t control what adds are played at the start, during or end of the videos. However…it does reflect on your browsing session so maybe you’ve been browsing for BMW’s! 😝 haha That or German cars, they’re all pretty good! Thanks for watching though 🤓🙏
@lorins8687 depends! Could be hard work and saving for years, could be a business lease, could be a company car or even salary sacrifice scheme. The last is rare but I’d imagine most work very hard! I’d love to have several high end Mercedes but certainly can’t afford any like that right now. Maybe one day! 🙏🙏

Yes I wish it was early by default!
Love your videos and reviews, can you please do the same but with BMW idrive system?.

@@npolearygood to hear from you , 2022 C300 , I’m from USA thank you
Legend!
What about the fingerprint option, doesn’t that eliminate the need to put a pincode in? Just scan your fingerprint
For some reason in the Netherlands the camera for augmented reality, traffic light view and dashcam is only delivered on AMG cars, even if you have a full option AMG line car the camera isn’t mounted. 😢
Chip shortage according our dealer (wensink)
Can one turn off the PINs & still choose between multiple profiles?
What model is this car?

No worries. Perhaps they'd liked the possible extra business. 😊
Haha maybe!
Lovely :)
Will the PIN stop car thieves?
Your videos always leave a deep imprint in the hearts of your viewers. Thank you for your creativity and sincerity!🐠👁🐸
Thank you! 🙏🤓
lol I get a bmw add before your video starts

That or German cars, they’re all pretty good!
Thanks for watching though 🤓🙏
Turning off the pin
Yeah 👍🏼 defo one I’d recommend! 🙏
People who own these expensive cars, sometimes l wonder what do they do to earn so much money?🤔
We work our asses off!!!
Im a courier and have one, I'm on call 24/7.
Work
Hey, get it on lease, especially EVs, if you can spare 300 to 400 quids per month. It's no longer unachievable
