This was a way superior Mercedes intro and hand off than what I actually got recently when I got my new EQC.
Great vid Nick great quality and attention. I can tell you love doing this.
Thanks Jay P! Glad you enjoyed the video this week! 🤓
Thank you Nick! This video as well as your others has helped me learn more about my e400 coupe I had delivered to my house. I really enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you! Glad you’re loving the videos! 🤓
Your videos have literally been the handiest thing ever I got my car delivered to my house last Sept new MB customer and hadn’t a clue how to work the technology inside so your tips and tricks are greatly appreciated 😊😊
Ah awesome! Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! 🤓
Got my '22 GLE 450 4matic almost 3 weeks ago, still scared when I drive it (used to drive a muscle car...quite a difference). Your videos have been a lifesaver!
Thank you Daniccrn! 🤓
Was looking for something exactly like this. 😄 just got my GLA200. Thanks Nick. 👍👍
Hi nick pick up my new gla premium plus on the 15/12/2021 and have been watching your tutorial’s very informative and really did swing to choosing Mercedes’ after watching your videos very easy to follow and can’t wait to try for myself cheers mate
Oh awesome thanks Bill!
Ooo 15th? Not long! 🤓
Great new video Nick, as was the actual handover you gave me last week. Good to meet you and keep up the great content.
Thanks Marco! 🤓
Hi Nick. Like your recommended suggestions. Makes things much easier.
Thanks Ralph! 🤓
Excellent tutorials on Mercedes! The manual is not great for learning the features. Nick does a great job explaining! Thanks.
Thanks SA! 🤓
Glad you enjoy them!
Very informative video as always Nick. Thanks mate 😀
Thank you Darryl! 🤓
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video, Nick. Thank you. I watch them all, but I must tell you, I am looking forward to the video on regenerative braking. Thank you in advance.
Ah awesome! Thanks Joff! 🤓
Yeah I’ll be sure to cover it soon!
Hi Nick, I picked up my new GLA 35 a couple of weeks ago and have found your tutorial videos to be of great help. I live in Australia so the cars are setup similarly to the UK.👍
Ah awesome! Thank you!
I’ll keep the videos coming! 🙏
Very nice,great info
Thank you! 🤓🙏
Very helpful video. I bought my new A250e three day ago. I am waiting more to come. Thank you Nick.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@npoleary Thank you for your response. I liked your videos. If I have a difficult problem I’ll ask!
I love your videos, i live in Sweden so everything is mirror wise but anyway just love your instructions.🤘
Thank you! 🤓
Excellent video as ever ..useful tips
Thanks S M! 🤓
Thanks, Great refresher! Always learn something new. Btw, there s mirror and light in the sunshade thingys as well.
Absolutely! I had actually recorded more than what I uploaded but wanted to shorten it down as I thought it was getting too long! 😅
Great video, very informative 👏🏿👏🏿
Thanks Mr P 😎
Hi Nick
Thanks once again for a great and informative video. Still awaiting my new Premplus EQA from MB in Exeter and these videos are so relevant!!
Thanks Andy! Oh awesome wow an EQA!
What colour did you go for?
@@npoleary
Hi Nick
I’ve gone for the cosmos black metallic. Apparently it’s the last premium plus they are doing!!
Thank you 👍👍👍👌
Mad, couldn’t of had better timing with this upload as I pick up my A200 tomorrow
Wooo! Nice! Thanks Oliver, glad you liked the video 🤓
Great video. I received my A250e this week delivered to my door. Not much of a handover and I’ve been fumbling through the controls.
This and your other videos have really help me acclimatise to the car.
Thank you.
Thanks Dan!
Glad the videos helped! 🤓
Hi Nick, I'm excited to have found your channel, while busy scrolling. I must say I love this car, Mercedes Benz, wholeheartedly and it's a pleasure to be learning more about it; in advance since I don't own one, never had one and can't even afford it, but I'm positive that one day I WILL own it 🙏. You've just got a new subscriber🤗, all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
Ah awesome thank you Salmina! I’ll keep the videos coming and thank you for subscribing! 🤓
Hi Nick, we have just bought our first Mercedes, E Class All Terrain 400d.........we are delighted with it , then I found your videos...they have been invaluable to us understanding all the functions of the controls etc. We look out for your videos every week , there's always something to learn .... Thank you so much for making them.
Oh awesome! Thank you goodoldeb! 🤓
Glad you’re enjoying the weekly videos!
That was great Nick ! Very helpful indeed do enjoy your channel!!
It a shame MB Dartford do not offer this when you buy a used car from them.
I was just given the keys as the paper work was done.
When I spent 35k on a GLC, it was missing the car Mats as well.
I got them 3 weeks later still with mud on them, as the sale chap ring the door bell and drop them on the floor and worked away !
well I had the car 2 years now Nick and the paint on the bumper fading as it had a smart repair on it buy it 1st owner.
So MB wish me to pay 3k for a bump to be resprayed !
Very different service with your dealership, clearly, so next year I will be coming you your dealership and not Dartford !
Thanks Graham for your kind words! Glad you enjoy the channel! 👍🏼
Hi Nick, this is long video, you are breaking your own record 😜😜. But in this video very helpful information thanks 🙏
Haha thanks Jag! Typical time for a handover I reckon 👀 to cover the basics anyway!
Just saved this extremely useful bible to recent playlist favourites.
Awesome thanks James!
Good video for reference
Thanks Elaine! 🤓
Hi Nick, as always a well-made video that must have been a lot of work. 😃👍🏼 - The handover of my E-Coupé 11 months ago took just 3 minutes. More contact was not allowed with a view to COVID. 🤷🏽♂️ - Therefore, your video will be very helpful to many ... like all of your videos. 😃👍🏼 - BTW, my Adblue never lasts until the next inspection despite the large Adblue tank. But that is due to the higher Adblue consumption at speeds over 200 km / h. 😅 - Have a nice weekend and greetings, Sven
Awesome thanks Sven! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow 124mph, Autobahn then? 👀
@@npoleary Exactly. The E-Class is ideal for long journeys. That's why I've already been 45,000 km / 27,900 miles on the road in the first 11 months. Much of it on the Autobahn, including long tours, for example to Rome.
LOL.... Is it bad that I like Nicks videos 1second in. LOL
That was very fast! 😂😂
Like very fast 💨
😅
Great Job Nick this looks to be a brilliant video, saved to watch later tonight! 👍
Thanks ABAUTO! 🤓👍🏼
My favourite two Mercedes’ TH-camrs in one post…. Thank for your video, waiting for my new B class, replacing my old one
Exceptional overview. BTW…Mercedes USA has a team going around the country introducing the EQ cars. I had a test drive yesterday….nice! I also informed some of those Mercedes representatives that there is a GREAT TH-cam channel hosted by Nick O’Leary in the UK…and that they all need to subscribe and pass the word how informative your material is for Mercedes owners.
Wow thanks Wayne! An EQ team? That sounds cool!
Yes, maybe 15 cars with a national team of 30 people who set up in large shopping malls. Invitations are by email with time slots to choose from. Once signed in, you get a “goodie” bag, and off you go driving one of the cars with a rep. Test drive is @ 20 minutes. They even have a trailer outfitted with videos, etc. The team was first on the west coast, and will be touring the east coast until March. The bad news….EQ won’t be available in quantity for about 1 year….and some options not available due to computer chip shortage.
Hi Nick, Thank you for the informative videos 3 days back I have received my new GLC 300e , which I am exploring the features watching your videos. Also wanted to let you know that your videos inspired me to by Mercedes Benz car. My first PHEV, people commenting the EV distance claiming is 43km but actually it is less than 40kms which is waste for any PHEV .. Thanks
Thanks Chirag, glad you enjoyed the video! 🤓
Does your Park assist work?
Nick one day I'll come back to this specific video after I buy my brand new A45s or CLA 45s or G63 🙏🏾
Hi Nick! Thank you for all your hard work and information to the point. You are really helpful. I just bought a Mercedes a160 with 7inches screen and I want to ask you if in the future I can upgrade it to 10.25 screen.
Thank mina! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Sadly no Mercedes dealerships as far as I’m aware can’t for upgrades like this. I believe they have to sell the cars as they’re described in the eBrochures etc
Hi Nick, thank you very much for this very useful video.
Do u have any idea about the AdBlue tank capacity of the W213 E220d?
Hey Bronze HAND, thanks for the video suggestion! Most Mercedes Ad Blue tanks are 20L but when in for service, they’ll usually top it up too 🤓
Brilliant video as always. I wish I could buy a new Mercedes but failing miserably. Local dealer full of classic borrowed Mercedes as they have no stock. Being told I might get one before Christmas 2022 if I’m lucky........
Thanks Edmonton! Hopefully the situation will sort itself soon!
Hi excellent videos really helpful I have just purchased a 2019 c class just wondering if the doors should automatically unlock and lock when I walk up to or away from the car as this doesn’t happen at the moment I have to use the lock or unlock buttons on the fob. The car will start with the fob in my pocket and I push the start button it’s just the doors don’t open/close thanks Ian
Hey Ian thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
No it won’t automatically lock, you’ll need to either lock it from the key, or if you have KEYLESS-GO (found on one of the Premium packages) touch the lock button on the handle.
On the key if you press the lock button twice in quick succession you will see on the key the red LED light come on for about a second which means that the key is switched off , this is very handy as your key can not now be scanned and copied buy potential thief’s, I always have my spare key turned off, it saves the battery to , no hand over has ever told me this one.
Hi nick great channel, how about a video on buying a used mercedes .
Hey 1967 MARVEL GUY, thanks for the suggestion! I do have a long of suggestions and try to consider them all. What sort of things would you want to see? 🤓
Great video as always, thanks Nick. I have a 2020 A class manual but don't have to operate the parking brake as you mention around the 11 minute mark. When I switch off the engine the parking brake comes on automatically. I've never touched that handbrake button down by the light switch.
Hey Hugh, yes you’re right some of the new ones do however there are some first gen models with MBUX that didn’t. I thought it best to cover all basis on that one! Didn’t want someone to accidentally not put the parking brake on and it roll away
@@npoleary very wise Nick. Thanks for your videos.
Hi Nick, been through a number of your videos looking for info about the Auto-Start-Stop function maybe worth possibly adding this at a later date to tips and tricks. The reason being mine has stopped working for no reason and cannot find anywhere in the manual how to reset. I can turn on/off however the orange light is constantly on. great job as always......
Hey Brian, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
This can be for a number of reasons such as:
Starter Battery not sufficiently charged
Seatbelt not clipped in
Ambient Temperature (too cold outside like icy conditions)
A/C is currently de-misting the interior
Or even the car needs to go on a run to bring engine temperature up to sufficient levels
If after a nice long drive and it’s still not working, if you get in touch with your local Mercedes, they can check it out for you and get to the bottom of it 🤓
@@npoleary Thank you....
Hi Nick another great video thank you
Wondering, have you done a video explaining the red solid triangle with a car shape in the middle of the triangle which keeps coming on and off on the dash display. I am not understanding this confidently
Thanks again Nick
Hey Kingsley Clark,
Thank you! I covered it in another video before 🤓
th-cam.com/video/O9PsX8E2JG8/w-d-xo.html
Scroll to 2 min 33 sec and it’s all about it 🤓
Hi Nick thank you for your reply and pointer.
I’ve got it now, as ever clear, precise information I do look forward to your videos Thank you😀
Very nice thank you. I have trouble everything is on the right. I am in the us so it is hard for me cause everything is on the left side for me... Great videos though thanks!
I know! Haha 😅
There will be a few buttons the other way round if it’s left hand drive vs right hand drive
@@npoleary I know crazy right??
Great Nick but one thing I'm having trouble with and can't find it in video is REMOVAL OF PARCEL SHELF
Hi Michael,
In CLA Shooting Brakes, the boot cover is just held in either side. If you put your hand on either side of the grab points, you can slide the left hand side to the right or the right hand side to the left.
Hello Nick, I always watching your videos , it's really helpful.. I ve got E200 2021 petrol engin in August .. its lovely var .. when it was brand new there is a message says Service A in 365 days .. now after 4 months it ran only 3500KM and the message is Service A in 30 days .. what could be happened?
Hey Mohamed, thank you! Glad you enjoy them! Oh that’s a bit strange…have you spoken with your local Mercedes? They should be able to sort it out for you 🤓
P with camera button (22:20) is to activate parking mode in my car..? Otherwise, great vid!
Hey rolcVky, it may do on some Mercedes but sadly Active Parking Assist hasn’t been available on most models since the start of 2020 so now the button just shows the camera at the rear
Hi Nick
Thank you for the incredible videos.
Why does Germany not have parts(spoilers and exhausts) for the new Mercedes Benz cars that are in South Africa?
My dealer told me Germany is on backlog and have been waiting for over a month. From an end user perspective I don’t quite believe Mercedes would want it’s client to wait for over a month for products. Is this true and how can one doubley check this?
Hey Tshepiso, thank you! Glad you love the videos!
Really sorry, I wouldn’t know why there are delays but across many industries there are delays from building materials for houses, to consumer electronics and even cars themselves. Hopefully it’ll get better over time! Fingers crossed anyway!
Can you please tell me were I can buy the small key protection pouches?? I tried to buy them in my Mercedes garage but, they don't know this item.(here in Portugal)... Thank you very much for your help! Greetings from Portugal
Hey Magd. S,
I don’t think Mercedes sell them directly however the one’s I have tried are these: kit.co/npoleary/recommended-products/faraday-pouch-car-ke
Hi nick , great videos as always . I don’t have the latest of Mercedes’ , it’s a 2017 model . But my question is with the forward & reverse stalk . Say I’m travelling at speed and by mistake I move this would you know if there is a safety feature to stop anything happening if you get me . Hopefully I never have to find out . Any advice would be good .
Ah I’ve tried this before 🤭
Don’t worry Mercedes cars have a safety feature built-in just in case you did this by accident.
So if you did this by accident, it would just knock the car into Neutral. The reverse gear will only activate if you’re at speeds of around less than 5 mph and you need to have your foot on the brake to change into reverse anyway 🤓
@@npoleary much appreciated for the advice.
When I push the home button on my instrument panel screen I only have one central dial. I can change the format but never get an option for the three images you see in all the pictures. It's a B200 AMG.
Hey Ellie, that sounds like you have a 7” screen, there’s an option at factory for a larger one (typically a 10.25” screen) which gives you two dials.
It does vary with specification as it depends what equipment you have on your car.
Hi from Spain!! Is it possible to lock the boot opening from the key? the other day I accidentally pressed the button and slammed the trunk door against the wall
Hey Jaime, no sadly it can’t be locked :(
If the button is pressed on the key and is within range, it will still open
Hi Nick, how do I switch off the radio for my new A180 , 😁😁😁thanks
You can’t switch it off completely as it’s always on.
However you can either turn the volume down, mute it or select MEDIA. Just select something on the MEDIA tab like USB and providing you have nothing plugged in, it won’t play anything.
Many thanks Nick for your various videos; quite impressive! With regards to the key or key fob, I need to know what will happen if I forget the keys/fob inside and I press the lock function on the door handle?
I know some Lexus and Toyota cars/SUV that I’ve owned will NOT allow the doors to be locked if it detects that the key fob are inside the car. Does this logic happens with Mercedes Benz? Thank you
Thanks Adesoji! Glad you enjoy them!
It won’t let you lock if the keys are inside as the keys need to be on the outside 🤓
@@npoleary Many thanks for your expository answer! I love both GLE and CLS 450 !
No worries 🤓
Hey Nick aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽 I just got my self a beautiful 2022 GLA 250 and my trunk does not open when I try to open it whit my key on pocket using my foot ?
Hi! Ah very nice! Well it depends if it has a thing called Hands Free Access. In the UK it typically is on a package called Keyless Go but that will most likely vary round the world.
If you do have it, try changing the battery in the key which might help 🤓
Good morning Nick..
I have s-class with 20" tires disk, i want to replace it with 21" disk for better look. Is that ok,? No mechnical or electronic issues should be worried about?
Regards
Hey Ahmed, I would just double check with one of your local Mercedes-Benz technicians to see if it is possible. Sorry I wouldn’t know if you can, I’m not sure if the suspensions system are set up for certain wheels etc especially on an S-Class.
They’ll be able to let you know for sure! 🤓
I'd love to know why Mercedes have disabled Park Assist Nick?
Hi Nick, having just watched your very impressive, extremely well structured and delivered Driving Assistance package video, I wanted to pick your brains about something, as you do seem to know Mercedes vehicles inside out.
The UK spec. 2013-2020 S Class was available with ABC Magic Body Control and to my understanding, was until the 2018ish facelift, standard on the S63 and S65 variants and optional on other petrol V8 engined models such as the S500. After the facelift it looks as if it was then only fitted as standard to the S65 but not available otherwise.
On the new model it doesn't seem to be an option again for any model and only fitted as standard to the flagship Maybach edition.
Is this correct? Also how has the suspension developed on the new model to negate the need for Magic Body Contol to be an option for the whole S Class range excluding the Maybach derivative.
Thank you for any info and insight you can provide.
Hey Keith thank you! And glad you like the videos!
Sadly I wouldn’t know to be honest, specs across manufacturers can vary for many reasons due to market availability or pricing but I’m sure there are other factors as well.
Yes you’re right Magic Body Control was quite clever but honestly, you’ll just have to try it out on the new ones. All S-Class’s do feature an almost “floaty” feel which I have never felt replicated in another car. They’re still in a league of their own in terms of all out luxury and may not even be needed.
Have you driven the new one? 🤓
@@npoleary Hi Nick,
Thank you for your very prompt reply, no I haven't driven either actually but have reached that age where an indulgent purchase is pulling at my heart strings and 'smogging' my rational brain function! 🙂
I've been reading up a bit on various cars and 'the other worldly' ride comments on the S class' MBC piqued my interest and I wondered how good it actually was. However, it only seems to be available on later models that have V12 power units, which I wouldn't really want.
I also wondered how the new model without this feature compares, although, probably due to age, I don't like the new huge 'iPad' dash/console design above the previous iteration, infact decidedly less.
Thanks again for your reply and info, I'll just have to try them myself but maybe after an iPace, which would probaly be the more sensible option.
th-cam.com/video/UZ0elOTQBbI/w-d-xo.html
Hi Nick, Thanks again for the very useful video. Do you know by any chance why in the UK we don't have a garage door opener buttons on the mirror? Is it again due to some stupid regulation, or is not in my speck. But I have a GLE AMG Line Premium Plus, I assume it should have it....do you know if it can be retro fitted or its just a no go. Many thanks.
No problem! No sadly I don’t know why :(
I’ve only ever heard of Garage Door Opener on S-Class before
@@npoleary OK. Thanks for the prompt reply.
No problem! 🤓
I just bought a new CLA. When parking up for the night, do I just press the button on the stalk, or do I also need to press the actual handbrake button too? Thanks so much for these videos Nick, the manuals may as well be written in another language, they are so difficult to understand.
Thanks Maxima, just the P bit of the stalk is enough usually. Just double check this red P for the parking brake comes up on the instrument cluster. You’ll usually hear it come on too when press P on the stalk and then switch it off.
@@npolearyThanks Nick, that's very helpful, I'll be binge watching all your 'how to' videos 👍
Hello Nick: I have a new S580 2021, just after delivering the car to me, the rear shade button on MBUX stop working, and the dealer tells me it is the same on their 2022 model. It was working for a day, but after the update, it stopped working, Any thoughts or suggestions, greatly appreciated.
Hi Fred! Ooo very nice! No really sorry I haven’t sat in an S-Class since my last review video and I haven’t heard of any problems with the rear blind.
I’m sure if you get in touch with your local Mercedes they should be able to take a look and get it sorted👍🏼
Hi Nick! Have had my 22 GLC300 for over a week now and love it! But I do have a couple suggestions for Mercedes or I’m not finding the answer I’m looking for in my manual. My trade in car would move the driver seat back after you turned off the ignition and opened the correct so it was easier to get out. Does my Mercedes do this? Am I missing the setting to get it to do this? Thanks and love your videos!
Hey Thanks Theresa! Glad you love the videos!
Not all Mercedes can do it, it’s called “Easy Entry & Exit” usually found in “Settings” and then “Vehicle Settings” if you have it 🤓
You can toggle it on / off in there
Thank you! I’ll check today.
Does your Park Assist work? My GLC it doesn't
@@ralphthebulldog5163 unfortunately mine doesn’t have it. It does have a couple issues though that it needs to go to a dealer to get fixed.
Hello Nick, I have a question you may be able to answer regarding Lane Departure Warning in the Distronic Plus Driver Assistance Package. I live in the countryside and my 2017 SL450 handles curves like an automated steered car for the 15-20 seconds I’m allowed to take my hands off the wheel. It’s amazing how it stays between the lines. On the other hand, my 2016 S550 with the same package wanders all over the place and renders the lane assist almost useless. Yes, I do get a warning from my steering wheel and the brakes do apply when I cross the line before going into the woods but the car does not correct and get back on the road. I have to manually turn the wheel. As far as crossing a double line between lanes, my car will just head into oncoming traffic. My MB dealer checked everything and found nothing wrong. They’re saying that’s the way the 2016 is. So if I black out I can forget about the car saving my life or that of anybody that I hit. What do you think? Was there a change in 2017? Thanks Nick. Whether you can help or not, still watch your terrific videos. Jim, 🇺🇸
Hey Jim,
Thank you! Glad you're loving the videos!
Sadly Driving Assistance Packages in Mercedes are purely just "Assistance" systems. In the UK, although the car will alert you if your hands are off of the wheel after a period of time, whoever is sat in the driving seat should "officially" have their hands on the wheel at all times.
Of course this might be different in the US as I'm sure come cars might have different specs and regulations etc. The S-Class did have a facelift in 2019 in the UK so this system may have been upgraded slightly since then.
@@npoleary Hey Nick, so grateful for your response. Keep making those helpful and enjoyable videos. Be well, stay safe. Jim
Nick, my dashcam is set up with a shortcut into favourites but doesn’t appear until about 800 metres driven.
Mercedes dealership tell me this is “normal” - do you agree? I got the impression that you had immediate access once the engine was on. The Dashcam app isn’t stored in apps, which I thought it would be, and takes time to appear, at which point I can use the favourites shortcut. Can’t believe that this delay is “normal”. Please advise, thanks, Jon
Hey Jon, I noticed that when producing the video.
It does take a little while for it to connect to the internet to confirm you have actually purchased it.
Morning Nick, I was wondering how do I go about getting FUP3 update on my Aclass (177). Can it be done over the air update? Thank you
Hey Nimal, best thing to do is speak with your local dealership and they can advise the best way, I believe it’s only done in person via a Mercedes workshop 🤓
@@npoleary thank you. I just want the dash cam enable in the Mercedes’ app
SD card slot or storage for mp3s and mp4s?
Sadly MBUX multimedia systems in Mercedes do not have an SD card slot, Instead they have USB-C ports 👍🏼
Nick, I have a seemingly rather common problem with my fob key accidentally opening my trunk from my pocket when I am in range of the car. Last time it was when I was at work and came back to a wet trunk since it was raining. Disabling keyless entry does not disable the trunk button. Can I stop this from happening somehow??
Hey Blackfield, no sadly not if the key button is pressed for more than a second, it will open the boot. I have seen cases / covers you can put the key in which may help. I’ve done it myself before when I had both keys in my pocket along with other house keys and leant over to pick something up and the boot opened.
@@npoleary Yeah I guess I'm going to have to cover the pretty key up. Kinda sucks. Don't understand why Mercedes didn't program it so when you disable keyless it also disables the boot button. Thanks for the answer though Nick
just to let you know nick mercedes benz do not top up your ad blue at any service although they say they do have found them out at my last 3 services once confronted they give you a ad blue container and say do it yourself they say it is not part of any service (but they dont tell you that until you find them out )
Oh that’s strange, official Mercedes dealerships should offer to do it for you. I had all of this confirmed and fact checked with my local dealership so they definitely offer it.
Hi, do you know what the deal is with waiting times. I ordered a GLA in June 2021 and still waiting. They have confirmed it has been built but is in a holding area at Zeebrugge waiting for parts ?
Hey Stewart, really sorry I wouldn’t know.
Your local Mercedes / the person you ordered from will be able to let you know and keep you updated with lead times etc.
@@npoleary I have contacting on the 20th off the month as that is the date i put order in, he has no updates it is just in some kind off waiting area in Zeebrugge. This will be a first Mercedes so i am sure i will be having to go back through your clips to get a hang off things i had to go for a Gla amg because i needed the height after becoming injured while with the military I hoping something will happen soon
Hi Nick
I’m interested in learning the differences between MBUX version one and MBUX version two, when and
Continued… on which cars it will be available. Would this be something worth doing a video about?
Hey Dennis, absolutely! I will be covering it but only when I can get my hands on one and also when more models get it. There should be two models getting it next year! 🤓
Nick what year was the E Class ?
It was A CLS used in this video when Mercedes used to make them. Video’s still relevant though as quite a lot of models have MBUX now these days 🤓
How do I lock the doors on my 2022 gle with the engine running. I need to do this to keep my dog cool .
The remote start with the app isn't working
Can it be done another way? Manually ?

Sadly there’s no way to do this with the key electronically as the key’s buttons are deactivated when the ignition is on. Also if you had locked the doors and then open the driver’s door, it’ll unlock the rest of them.

Thanks for the quick reply
When they get the remote starting back working I should be ok.
Too bad there isn't an alternative method.
Tks, DGB
Hi Nick, or anyone know which Mercedes model is the one where the video is made in?
The one in the video? That one’s a CLS Coupe 🤓
@@npoleary oh nice thank you! 😊
No problem 🤓
Hi nick ...pls quick question is got c class coupe 2019 ..anytime i check on mercedes me app it always showing battery partially charge ....I don't no y .thanks
Hey Polo, it can say this from time to time unless you go on a long journey (depends on the journeys you’re doing). A longer journey will get that battery topped up. You won’t need to take any action unless it says critical, at which point you’ll have an alert on your email anyway.
Hope that helps!
@Nick O'Leary thank u so much for the information
No problem! 😎
Hey Nick, I'm from Singapore and my family owns a 2021 facelift E class. We have some issues with our "Hey Mercedes" voice command though - it is nowhere as intelligent and helpful as seen in various videos and "Hey Mercedes" tutorials, and it often gets even the simplest commands like "turn off air conditioning" wrong.
Is there any way to improve the detection accuracy? Are we saying the commands wrongly? It doesnt have anything to do with the voice command struggling with Asian accents, does it?
Hey Iychvy, ooo very nice! 🤓
Hmmm, the Hey Mercedes voice assistant does vary massively in the world from people’s comments on TH-cam. In the UK you have to link your car to your Mercedes me account and switch the online part of the voice assistant online. Otherwise it won’t work as well.
Not sure if this is the same elsewhere though! Sadly there is no way to “train” it as it learns overtime.
Have you spoken with your local Mercedes?
@@npoleary hey nick, strange but i can't pair the Mercedes Me App to the car. I have the app installed and the car is registered but when I go to the "Apps" menu, there isn't a QR code for me to scan and pair my car to the App. I think I might have recalled the sales person telling my family that our car doesnt come with Mercedes Me. Not too sure what exactly is the reason for that though? Can't be because it is an E200? Or does it have anything to do with the reduced supply in semi-conductors that happened recently?
Either way, it is a bummer because it seems like the "Hey Mercedes" voice assistant is supposed to be helpful and clever (as seen in yours and many other videos) whereas the one in my car is somewhat of a dim-wit, especially when compared to our other car which is a BMW G20 3 series; the Bimmer's voice command is really accurate and gets it right every time and we have it paired to the BMW app without any issues.
Hey lychvy, really sorry I wouldn’t know how it works in other countries as Mercedes me isn’t available everywhere. The best people to answer that would be your local dealership I’m sure as they’ll know what works where you’re based.
Sorry, wish I could advise further!
@@npoleary hey nick, there's Mercedes Me in Singapore! It's just strange that my family's E class doesn't have the integration for the app. The only way is to buy the adapter but I doubt we would go through that trouble just because the voice command isn't good haha!
Thanks for the help, nonetheless!
Seems they made an error and put the steering wheel on the passenger side
My new 2022 GLA 200D came with a usb-c dongle. I believe it was in the center console. Oh, and hey Nick. Can you mess up your hair and maybe rub some dirt on yourself-under your nails would be good. My wife is starting to like your videos a little too much.
Ah yes some of them do! I’ve seen those before
Haha 😂 Glad you’re enjoying the vids!
Didn't specify everything 😅 for me for example i don't know how i get the id to connect on the phone, etc. I am an MB guy but i own a mb car pretty old before all these come 😁 now explain why the S class doesn't come with turning rear wheels or how you call it, in Uk. When i'm interested in S class doesn't come with all these "extras" 🙄
Hi Migaita,
What did you mean with the ID for the phone? Bluetooth? 🤓
Sadly I wouldn’t know why with the S-Class. Each country have their own specifications as it varies massively round the world.
@@npoleary sorry. I mean for the app where you can control the car
Ah it honestly depends where you live 🤓
As it varies from country to country, if you’re in the UK it’s best to speak with your local Mercedes who will give you a hand.
I’ve covered a video on it here which shows what it can do: th-cam.com/video/FkvafkX9z_w/w-d-xo.html
Dear Nick, thank you for all your efforts and the perfect videos you prepare. As I finally got yesterday my GLB 250 after 11 months of waiting I started exploring my car and I have few questions that even the dealer couldn't answer.
My first question is this option: th-cam.com/video/I5lvgosxdfw/w-d-xo.html
Have you ever seen it before in an GLB? Could be possible this option to be only in the USA available and not Europe? Could you please check in UK?
The other missing option is this here: th-cam.com/video/fdhxcMmud_g/w-d-xo.html
This video is in a GLA. In my car, with all possible assistance packaged installed the active lane-change, is not working or not included. Could you please also check in UK? or if you are aware if this option is not more included?
Thank you once again for all the great videos and information shared with us.
Hi George, thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Yes that’s right spec varies massively round the world due to local laws and regulations.
So for example things like remote start are not available here in the UK and the same goes for Active Lane Change Assist. The latter was removed under UN-R 79 regulations which require hands on / hands off sensors to use this. Sadly this doesn’t exist in cars today so Mercedes are not able to implement that technology with those laws in place.
Mercedes are no longer the reliable luxury car that they once were. Make sure you know about the lifetime breakdown cover-- you will need it!!
Thank God in India, every xar manufacturer has to put in a spare wheel by law. Not having a spare is so stupid.
hi nick
thats not true of mercedes of liverpool sadly
How strange, I presumed that Mercedes would offer the same service levels and service measures round the UK.
Kmmx
Just don't buy one in the first place.
