Ah this video isn’t specially on a single Mercedes, this is on the multimedia system. It’s found in loads of Mercedes. What model do you have and I can let you know which one is the right one.
@@npoleary ---- The system varies with models (classes), packages, and also with years and updates. I have the manual for mine, thank you. Is there anything wrong with stating the model and year you are demonstrating on? Some viewers other than myself might find it interesting to compare, and have the names of packages especially if they are in the market to buy, and know what comes with each. It's somewhat like demonstrating Windows, which varies significantly from version to version. In Mercedes, the hardware varies from model to model, too. It might be worth a separate video just comparing versions. One item in specific I'm curious about, that I have not found any mention of, is the location of the microphone.
Hi Nick I finally collected my new car this week and just wanted to let you know that your videos are absolutely perfect and exactly what new owners need. Thanks as always !!
Thanks from another owner in the US! Perfect tutorial! I come off a Range Rover and you can imagine how lost I was when I got in my new Benz. Really great job 👏
Hi Nick, just bought a A35,you helped me so much watching most of your vids understanding all technologies in my car,thank you for everything you do for all of us owners.
@@MarsorryIckuatuna not yet - the manufacturing timeline got pushed to nearly 9 months wait.. now due to arrive July ... can only think that the the CLA are now manufactured from the merc plant in Hungary and they slowed down due to covid.. 67 days and counting.......
@@steveturner6192 Ouch, the wait only makes it’s final arrival sweeter - hang in there. I waited over 6 months for my car. Now I still treat it like my baby 🤷😅
HATE my CLA lol. Been in the shop every 6 months for something…. New tire.. AUX battery in the passenger cabin went out.. real car battery went out.. bought it almost new with only 14k miles😑
Ah thank you! I need to get round to popping back into my local Mercedes to film some more stuff Hopefully should be able to soon! I have some more ideas for the Mercedes ones 👀
@@hellobye4154 Yep good, just bit higher than the old model, but similar length. I've got the mid level trim, so ambient lighting, rear camera and wireless charging etc. The new mbux is great and augmented reality feature is a pretty cool feature.
Having just picked up my new Mercedes 2 days ago I’m still figuring out the system lol but having this guide is extremely helpful so thank you nick going through all that you did during the video...you are very much appreciated.
Nick O'Leary When I saw the time stamp I realised it was going to be in-depth 😆 but like I said for those of us who have little knowledge of MBUX these videos are so helpful rather then reading through books to figure out everything I’m more of a visual person so again thank you...
Thank you Nick, I've only been driving a Mercedes for a couple of weeks but your videos have helped me enormously in understanding all the settings. Really informative and easy to follow you. All I need now is to figure out why my 'Hey Mercedes' doesn't understand me. Keep posting the great videos!
Nick another brilliant video as usual great simple detail, i have had my 450 GLE for 3 months and thought i understood all the settings and tips and tricks but still learnt loads from this video well done keep them coming
Hi Nick great video, the reason why you can turn off the parking sensors is if you were to tow a trailer or caravan and you reversed with it on. you would have the constant beeping
Hello from Singapore! I will be collecting my new A Class Saloon soon. Was researching on the new MBUX system and I came across your videos! Very informative. I am sure I will be playing around with the different settings once I have collected the car. Thank you and keep the videos coming! Cheers.
Nick, you have very informative series of videos for a new Merc owner. You certainly know your car. Very helpful. All your videos should come with the car on a USB. Much better than trying to go through the manual.
Thank you very much, Nick. Great job. Saves us a lot of time going through the books and keep going to the dealer. Your effort is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Thanks Nick! As usual in details materials. I will go to the garage to verify which functions I do have /don't have in my poor 2020 A200 progressive. Just for you to know, to add the navigation MB officially asked no less than USD 10.500 . Yes,,,, I said just to add navigation into MBUX. Thanks again!!
Nick - Four weeks into new A Class your videos very helpful. I remember somewhere there is an option to change voice, language options such as English Australian, English Irish etc on MBUX. Can you nudge me in right direction. Many more videos to watch, but really helping setting up personal options in the car. Thank you
Thanks Blizzard Bear, yes you can change the language Press HOME, SETTINGS, SYSTEM, LANGUAGE If you’ve accidentally changed it to a different language and need to get it back, press HOME, scroll to the far right, press SETTINGS icon, far right button and scroll down to find the only menu icon with the picture of the world 🌎
@@npoleary Nick Thanks will try that in a moment. Is this the one that gives you the variations on English accents or the main language ? More video watching later so I can enjoy my new toy even more. Keep making them, very very helpful.
Ah no this is changing the language of the car. Sadly there are no voice adjustments on MBUX like in terms of different accents etc However if you use Apple CarPlay, there are different accents on there to change 👍🏼
Hello Nick, good to see you again in the showroom and in the vehicle. 👍🏼 - Thanks for the great video and all the work that goes with it. 😃 - The „terrible“ thing about watching your videos is that the waiting time for the new E Coupé I ordered seems even longer. 🧐🤷🏻♂️😉
I am a huge fan of your videos. Really like this comprehensive E2E one. I learned new things, like phone book name order, or navigation extra tips. In an improvement perspective, you missed a nice one for radio, to list "text information", you share on another video you have. My suggestion, you should use this video to link to ALL other your videos, at the right point you talk about it... so even if you "repeating" information from those videos, we (husband) can always share the shorter one with our wife ;-) I truly like your sincerity of what works for you and not. Kudos! Be well and stay safe!! Amazing work!!!
You are absolutely right Tiago! I’ll add the radio text info to the description on extra things that I didn’t cover! And yes I’ve added a few callout cards at the top of the videos but I know depending on the app you’re using it may not always show. I’ve got a couple already on there from Driving Assistance Package to, Apple CarPlay etc I think I linked 5 which is the max limit you can do on TH-cam 🤓
@@npoleary I was not aware of that limitation, ups... ignorance is bliss sometimes :-). Glad you extended that radio comment in there. Thanks so much for taking time with your dedicate answer to me. All the best and take care!
👍12.34 Thanks for showing where the button is to turn off augmented reality. I prefer the more realistic view of the road through the windscreen and have been trying for months to disable this distraction.
Second Popcorn comment! 🙃 haha Yeah maybe I should have referenced that in the video! Ah well glad you liked it! 👍🏼 Kudos if you watched the whole thing!
EQA250 Keep on telling us tips for MBUX what a fantastic piece of kit ..your help is invaluable.. your latest bit of advice dash am ..was great …..bought it ..fabby..love a bit of technology 😀
Great invaluable video Nick. So much more understandable than the manual. I so regret not having Augmented reality and wish it was an aftermarket add on. Thanks again
Another excellent video Nick. Unfortunately I don't have MBUX with my mercedes but command online is excellent I must say. I really am particularly impressed by the augmented reality navigation.
Ah awesome! Nope I haven’t been there before! Yeah it’s extremely tricky at the moment due to COVID-19, handovers are near impossible to do. Ooo CLA Premium Plus! Very nice!
Thanks for the helpful tutorial. If you drive in heavy snow, your parking sensors go nuts as it builds up on the sensors. That‘s one occasion to turn them off....
Great job Nick, I just ordered a 2021 GLC 300 4 Matic premium, premium plus, intelligent drive, sport amg package, white exterior, red seats, Am I missing anything, retired envious of your job. Calgary Canada.
High Nick, best regards from Austria! Since a while I am watching your videos and I am very grateful that I found them. The are all extremely helpful and even for a none native speaker absolutely clear to understand. You have helped me a lot with my configuration of my GLE 350e which I will get in June 2021 - long time to wait. If you have the chance to make a video of the 350e I would be very happy!
Hi Gerhard! Thank you glad you like the vids! Did you mean for me to make a video on the GLE 350de? Already done one! 🤓 th-cam.com/video/4va85x7cHVI/w-d-xo.html
Wowowiwa, this is a long one. Can’t wait to go through it, will certainly be super useful when I finally manage to get my hands on a Mercedes. Keep up the great work!!
Hi Nick, I have enjoyed many of you videos. Shame I only found them recently as I could have used them for my two previous Mercedes. I heard you say iPhones don't have NFC in this video, from what I understand that is not true. Please see the following. All the iPhones released in recent years have NFC. In fact, every iPhone since iPhone 6, which came out in 2014, has a built-in NFC chip. If you need details just to be sure, here’s the whole list of iPhones that are NFC-enabled: iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2nd Gen) iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max iPhone XR iPhone X iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone SE Pease keep the videos coming they are all interesting.
Hey Andy, thank you! Yes I remember slightly! It was in reference to that you can't use NFC to pair phones via Bluetooth etc. I think I may have phrased it incorrectly but yes you're right, ever since iPhone 6 you've been able to use NFC although background NFC reading and writing has been available since iPhone XR. It was also locked to just Apple Pay for quite a while too!
Hi Nick - new car for wife collected this morning and found that navigation instructions somehow seemed a bit late. This especially so on a large complex and busy roundabout where the 'take next turning' type instruction came a bit late for comfort. Prior to that I think the system did initially say take 3rd, 4th, etc. exit when joining the roundabout. Also where turnoffs are quite closely spaced you don't want to be told to turn off too soon. But, Is there any way to fine tune the extent of such advance warning? I use a late TomTom device myself and the advance warning somehow seems a bit better timed / more relaxed than the Mercedes system on wife's A200. I've seen your excellent MBUX full guide so suspect there no option to change the advance warning - like there is on some speed camera apps. Advice appreciated.
Ooo nice! No sadly not I’ve not seen a setting for that on any Sat Nav thinking about it, but good idea though! 🤓 I’ve seen settings for early, medium and late for others things but sadly not Sat Nav instructions
Hi, Just bought a Merc and needed help in all areas of use. Found your vid’s very informative. However found it difficult to view the small screen while you are presenting on the larger one. Nice to see you but prefer the reverse to see the display. Especially using a phone! Trying to view the Mbux for an hour is tiring on such a small screen and difficult to see. Just a comment you may wish to consider.
Thanks Chris! Glad you enjoyed it! Yes of course some of my more recent tutorials I have started to do this so all of the elements can be seen / read easier 🤓
These videos are great and have helped a lot. However should a 2020 v class have voice Hey merc on it as I cannot seem to get it to work. Thanks again for the informative videos
Thank you! It depends if it has a multimedia system called MBUX. Usually has a touchpad in the middle of the car as opposed to a wheel to control the screen.
Great job! It is going to provide me with hours of fun! Shame Mercedes invested so much in “gimmicky” seat tricks when they could have incorporated more practical devices such as dashcam. The law in the UK regarding privacy seems moot as it’s perfectly legal to install an aftermarket dashcam.
Thanks David! Glad you liked it! Oh you’re absolutely right aftermarket dash cams are fine but when it’s built into a car, that’s where it’s a problem with uk law. Something like that anyway! Hope it’ll come to cars in the future!
Maybe...from what I’ve heard it’s run through Mercedes me in other countries so I’m guessing it’ll come through on that if and when it does. Fingers crossed!
Nick, fantastic videos. I am in the U.S. and picked up my fully optioned E450 4matic three weeks ago. If it weren’t for you I would be lost. Thanks to your videos I am telling the sales person how things work. Having had BMW for the last 12 (2 650 coupes and 2 750s) the MBUX is a major learning curve and one thing I have not been able to figure out is how to name a destination favorite as I could do with BMW and you mentioned at 10:40 of your full MBUX walkthrough guide. For instance, my daughter’s house address, I saved it as a favorite but I want to see “Kristen’s House” as the label such as I see Work or Home in favorites. How can I do this? I can’t find it in the owners manual nor does the dealer know. Thank you again
Thanks Rich! Haha glad you’re liking the videos! Ah okay, so I’m hoping the U.S. vehicles have the same button locations! 😅 First of all save your Sat Nav destinations in your favourites, then press the Star button located in the centre console. From here find your favourite you want to change and hold your finger on the icon on the screen. You should see a menu pop up, from here you can rename them to anything you’d like. Hope that helps :)
Thank you for the video and hello from across the pond. My wife and I are awaiting our 2020 GLE450 with E-ABC and was a great video for MBUX. Would you like some topics for other videos? We would love to see the Easy Entry/Exit in action, not just how to set it up. Also the would love to see the Lower When Getting In function, selection and the actual operation. Can these functions be set as default functions or must they selected every time? Watched nearly all of your videos and enjoyed each one. Thank you again.
Hi Ken, Of course the easy entry and exit function basically just moves the seat and steering wheel out of the way when you turn the car off. When you get back in, it’ll go back the way you had it. The lower when getting in function is quite cool, although I didn’t mention it in this video: th-cam.com/video/Haaa-pMOEHs/w-d-xo.html I do show the suspension lowering all the way down and all the way back up.
@@npoleary Nick, thank you for your reply, I will look at that video again, sometimes I view them late at night and my eyes get heavy. Thank you for making such informative videos, they do help.
No worries! I did a time lapse of the suspension going all the down and then back up although I don’t think I mentioned that feature but I did use it in the clip. Thanks for watching! 🤓
This channel is truly underrated. I know I've recently made a suggestion about the digital lights, but please see if you can also do a video on the trailer maneuver assist feature found on the GLC.
Thanks Mark! That means a lot! 🙏🤓 I’ll keep the videos coming, I haven’t forgotten about Digital Light! Sadly with Trailer Manoeuvring Assist, it’s quite tricky as I can’t drive with a trailer myself and also I don’t have anything to tow. I also haven’t seen it on UK spec for a long time
Hi Nick, I collected my new E200 coupe Friday, and your videos are so helpful. Question regarding the navigation system: I couldn't find a way to add a "current location" where the car is, as a favourite. Is it lacking? Tomtom offers this feature which is very neat. Thanks again. Kim
Hey ikura72, thank you! Glad you’re loving the videos! Is it a new E-Class with MBUX (the one with the Hey Mercedes voice assistant). You can also tell if you have MBUX if your multimedia system has a touch screen 🤓 Let me know and I can give you the right instructions 👍🏼
@@npoleary hi Nick, it is a brand new last model of e200 coupé, with the newest MBUX. Seriously, there are so many electronic features and options, that I would be completely lost without your videos and tutorials. You are clear, neat and concise. I love your videos. Thanks for your help regarding the navigation question. Cheers, Kim
Can you do an updated video on the second generation MBux? And tips and tricks? Trying to figure out how I can change my Mercedes logo on startup to the AMG logo
@@npoleary it's more of a hack to change the logo. It's in the engineering menu. Thanks though. Looking forward to your second gen MBUX video. I hope it's really in depth... Thank you
Hi Nick, I have C-Class on order, and I am finding your videos extremely interesting while I am waiting for it. Superb insight into what I am looking forward to. (Although I suspect I will be waiting a while...) A quick question on the Sat-Nav component of MBUX. When I am planning journeys in advance I tend to enter destinations and waypoints into my present Sat-Nav system as coordinates, (ie. 50.382135, -3.596105), rather than as street names, POIs or Postcodes, because I find that they are far more accurate and specific. So, is it possible to enter destinations into MBUX as coordinates please? I didn't spot any mention of coordinates in the complete walkthrough video.
Hey Robin, ooo very nice! And thank you glad you love the videos! No sadly coordinates are slowly being phased out but Mercedes do have What3Words integration when linked to your Mercedes me account: th-cam.com/video/zMYbD-1dLXI/w-d-xo.html These are very accurate and might help! 🤓
hi, nick great guide for MBUX, just got my first A class last week and the guide was great for setting up my MBUX. But just one thing how the hell do you turn the radio OFF? Each time I start the car the radio comes on and have to mute it each time. your advice would be great thanks.
Ah awesome thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! 🤓 Oooo very nice! 👌🏼 Best thing to do in that situation is just select MEDIA and select the USB port. As long as you don’t have anything plugged in, it’ll just start silently 🤓
I find your videos so informative. Thank you. I hope to have my 2021 GLE 450 by the end of June. I park in a public garage where I have a remote to open up the garage door. In my current Audi Q5, they were able to program the car at the dealership using the remote so that I could use a button inside the car to open the garage door. Do you have a video on how to program a garage remote?
Hey Susan, thank you! Glad you like them! Unfortunately Mercedes don’t have that facility (well not in the UK anyway) hard to tell where everyone’s from on TH-cam! 😅 Spec can vary from country to country so that could be different elsewhere.
Hi Nick. Yet another great video and excellent MBUX walkthrough. I have noticed a setting on my 2020 CLA250 AMG Line Premium Plus called "Easy entry and exit feature" which looks as though it should automatically move the electric seats etc when getting in\out of the vehicle. I have it enabled it but it does not appear to work. This can be enabled directly on the MBUX display or alternatively in the Mercedes ME app. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue on the same model or whether I have misinterpreted the feature?
Hey Keith, two things to try...have you made a profile yet? I have found it didn’t work on the guest profile. Also I know the seat will only move you to get out if your seat’s position is restrictive for you to get out. For me I’m quite tall so the seat doesn’t move any further back. But for someone shorter it’ll then move back. If that doesn’t work I’m sure your local Mercedes can assist with getting it sorted for you. They might need to book it in as a last resort.
@@npoleary Hi Nick, it is set to my own profile, based on your reply I also tried another profile with a seat position set forward, still doesn't seem to work, maybe a software bug. I will engage the local Mercedes centre. Thanks for the reply.
Hello Nick you are the answer to my fervent wish and I will no longer say to anyone that my car is cleverer than me! Purchased my GLA 250E from a non Merc dealer four days ago so you will understand my opening sentence. Would you recommend fitting a tracking device as I live in a London borough. I found these have soared in price and purchasing a 5 year contract is a bit on the expensive side especially as I am retired and the car is parked in a garage when not in use. Similarly, as a low mileage user, do I need to have a charging point installed at home? I used the normal charger and plugged in and in three hours I was fully charged. I look forward to your answer and thank you so much for the videos.
Ah awesome Jean! Glad you like the videos! It’s up to you with a dedicated tracking function to be honest. All Mercedes-Benz have the facility to locate the car on a map (part of the vehicle monitoring package, some models get it free of charge for 3 years) There is also a service called the Stolen Vehicle Help which your insurance company may allow you to have and subsequently reduce your premium. You can read more about it on the Mercedes me store and see if it’s suitable. Regarding a dedicated charging point at home, as long as you’re happy with how it is now, then you should be okay. If you want to take advantage of faster charge speeds then I would advise going for it, otherwise if you charge overnight then I’m sure you’ll be fine! Hope that answers your questions!
Thank you very much for your detailed response. It help me enormously. Hope MB reward you for your very clear instructional videos. I will continue to watch with interest.
I've finally found you! We are 4 days into a 2021 GLE 350 and have completely lost our minds trying to figure out the control of our different seat memory. Do you cover this in a video? Seem that the profile seating from the dash may or may not allow the seat memory located on the drivers door to operate in a manner which is useful. So when my wife drives and then exits as I attempt to enter the car, I can't fit even after the seat adjust has moved the seat and steering away from each other. The obvious solution is to press my number "3" memory position on the door so that the adjusts to allow me into the vehicle. It doesn't. need to know the order of setting up multiple profiles / memory positions to allow a smoother transition of drivers... Any advise? our dealer is dumbfounded as well.
Hey Robert, this is a common question and is fairly easy. The way Memory Seats work in most countries with MBUX is that it saves your Memory 1, Memory 2 & Memory 3 onto your profile. So if you load up another profile, then you’ll also load up another Memory 1, Memory 2 & Memory 3. Best scenario for this is to load up as you said, each other’s seats on each profile so that you can use it at all times. What I’ve described above can vary slightly though from feedback from around the world in the comments section so do bare that in mind! 🤓
Hi Nick, thanks for all your help in the past. I've another question, how do you avoid tolls on the sat nav. I've gone into settings on the sat nav, but I can't find it. It's probably me. lol. I have MBUX. Thanks again Dave
No worries! I seem to remember it was on the bottom right on the Navi screen under Settings then advanced. It was called “Avoid Options” and in there should be Avoid Toll Roads 👍🏼
Hi Nick - your great videos have kept me entertained on the loooong wait for my new CLA which I took delivery of last month. Two queries on MBUX - is it possible to change the tyre pressure units on the 10.2” drivers display to PSI? and is it no longer possible to display full screen map on the drivers display? I only have two “red dot” options - map or previous destinations, no full screen.
Hey Steven, thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! No sadly being built and designed in Europe, Mercedes only have the measurements displayed in KPA which is quite common over there. KPA is more accurate anyway and the fuel filler cap will usually show both on there for easy conversions. With the Sat Nav going full screen, sadly it’s only found on certain specifications as I’ve found that it wasn’t on every model.
Off road score and energetic comfort screens are missing on my fully loaded 2021 GLS 580, and I do have E-Active Body Control, off road package and air balance package with fragrance and ionization.
Hey Soyuz, Ooo wow very nice! Really sorry, there’s no such thing as a GLS 580 here in the UK :( There’s only a GLS 400d and a Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 here. My guess is that the specification might be different in other countries? Sorry wish I could offer some assistance. You could always speak to your local dealership, they might be able to help?
@@npoleary Thanks for the reply. We ordered it in January 2020, were told that we should expect delivery in May. But with everything goings on, it ended up December built and a 2021 model. In 2021 some dealer codes changed and we were unable to order a heated/cooled 2nd row cup holder with our Executive Package Plus. It is no longer listed as available option on Mercedes website in the US. Energizing Comfort was another code that disappeared from our original 2020 built. They must have changed somethings in 2021, now that Maybach is available, they want to give people the reason to buy one instead, and are stripping down the regular GLS.
Ah I see That spec is a little different to what I know of in the UK! But yes it can change in the factory throughout the year when a change comes in. Ooo yeah a GLS Maybach, haven’t seen one of those yet!
NICK! Thank goodness for you! I've learned so much about my new MB (2020 GLE) thanks to you! Question: I live in the US and I think you've demo'd this but I can't find the video. How do you have your center console Where the speedometer is) show the NAVI in full screen? I have the center option showing NAVI but I only have three dots so Full Screen is not there. Is it not avail in US or am I doing something wrong? You're the best man. Don't ever stop!
Hey Mr Rick, Thanks glad you like them! :) Yes I have noticed this before some models have it and some don’t (think it’s just down to the specification) but for the ones that don’t have it you can usually put the Navi on the dial on the right. I know it’s not full screen but at least it puts the map on the instrument cluster 🤓
Great video Nick. I have subbed to you for a while now as I will be buying a merc a class with the amg line premium package. I literally can't wait to get my hands on this mbux system! The ambient lighting is my 2nd fave thing about the car. Only thing that will be annoying for is that I use a nextbase 522gw dashcam and that plugs into the cigarette lighter meaning on the a class I will have to leave the slider open all the time. Maybe I could get the dashcam hard wired by the dealer?
Thanks Crispy! Ooo nice! I’ve owned one with the Premium Package, I know those ambient lights 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Potentially you’ll have to ask them but I know most dealerships won’t usually as they have to sell cars as they are with no modifications.
@@npoleary thanks for the reply Nick 👍 I should be carrying out a test drive on April 12th when the lockdown restrictions are eased for a test drive. Apparently when I make the order as its a new car I will have to wait roughly 3 months? Hopefully i don't have to wait too long as I'm not sure how long I can wait lol
Hi Nick. Do you know if the Dashcam feature that now shows as available on the new E Class will be made enabled on the CLA? I have just ordered a CLA200 Shooting Brake, Permium Plus and Drivers Assistance package, which is a couple of months away and wondered if it will be available by then. Thanks. Keep up the great work on you video's.
Hi Ian, Really sorry but Dashcam is not available in the UK on CLA’s. I’ve heard rumours of something in the works, but we’ll have to see if anything happens. My fingers are crossed because that would be an amazing feature! If anything happens, I’ll cover it on the channel straight away!
Hi Nick. love all your guides. So worthwhile. but i wonder if you can advise me. i have a 2019 2.0d SE which a bought a couple of months ago. i was initially surprised that it didn't have Android Auto fitted as standard. and then extremely disappointed to find out there was no upgrade for it on the system I have. Think it is the immediate predecessor to the full MBUX system. Can you advise please? thank you.
Hi D Barr, Sorry didn’t catch which model you have...you said SE so I guess a C-Class or E-Class or something? If it’s the one before MBUX called NTG 5.5 then no you have to have either the Smartphone integration package or COMAND (depending on which model you have) to be able to connect your phone via Android Auto.
Hi Nick, great review of the MBUX system. I have just taken delivery of my new 2021 GLB 220d AMG Premium and absolutely love the car. Unfortunately the augmented reality software is missing from the Navigation system, is this something that you can shed a little light on for me, I have spoken to the supplying dealer who can not explain this omission, any ideas?
Hey Stuart, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Augmented Reality hasn’t been available for quite a while on all models due to the semiconductor shortage so it was removed from literature earlier this year because of this. It’s not the software though, it’s the actual hardware (the semiconductors) so models no longer offer this option.
Hi Nick, very detailed and highly informative video. May I ask which USB dongle you would recommend. Also is it interchangeable with apple and android phones as my wife use android and I have apple phone.
Hello Nick . I’m new to your channel but have watched quite a few since buying a week ago a Hymer 2019 Mercedes 177 auto with a Sprinter chassis and Mbux10.5 nav and Apple play on reduced size screen ( pity ) . Quick question the vehicle is LHD from Netherlands but first registered new in Uk 2019 with apparently 24k miles according to MOT . My question is is the odometer in Kilometers or miles ie can it be changed from one to the other ? Many thanks
Hey! Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Sadly I’ve not ever involved Mercedes Commercial vehicles on my channel. I know they have some similarities but the only thing I can suggest is have a look on the central screen. Home Settings System Units And see if it’s listed there
I have recently purchased a brand new E200 facelift and would like to know if it is possible to do a screen capture of the dashboard and MBUX system. Many thanks!
Hi cx251hkg, I wish I could too! Sadly no you can’t capture any screens on MBUX. I have to position cameras round the car in certain positions to show it on my videos 🤓
@@npoleary What a shame… Thanks for your swift reply Nick! Please keep up with your good work as I (as well as many others) learnt a lot from your videos.
First of all allow me to gongrats you for your amazing job!! It's really appriciating! A tiny question for you. I am the owner of a new new CLA 180 coupe with mbux on it. It is not possible to hear me when I call #hey mercedes#. If I use the relevant key on steering wheel , the voice helper can hear me (not 100% good but ok) and performs the order. The voice is activate from system settings (LINGUATRONIC). Haveyou any idea or I have to see my local dealer?? Thank you in advance!!
Mmm that’s strange, there is the menu option in the LINGUATRONIC menu to turn this off and on but it should be on by default. The activation phrases are “Hey Mercedes” or “Hi Mercedes”. If it’s not working, speak to your local showroom, I’m sure they can help!
@@npoleary I come back, just to inform you what was the problem!!! The Hey or Hi Mercedes problem, was due to an error in the accent !! The error comes from the factory and the right way to speak is Hi or Hey MERCIDES!!!! This is the official answer and believe me...it works!!
Wow! Great video Nick. You don't know this, but you are our product concierge. We bought our 2020 GLE350 last year and your videos have allowed to learn all the features at our own pace (without having to trouble someone at our local dealership). Quick question - do these various MBUX settings stay with the individual driver? Or are some settings global regardless of which driver is using the vehicle? Thanks! And cheers from the US.
Aha thanks A Gupta! Glad you like the videos! I’ll try and keep them coming! Pretty much all of the settings I covered in the video are saved per user of MBUX when you make profiles. At least that’s how it is on UK Spec cars! I presume it should be the same on USA cars too!
Hi Nick, does the MBUX Navigation have a speed camera detection? Where there is an audible sound to show there is a camera ahead or a camera sign on the Sat Nav? I couldn’t see this as part of a subscription on the Mercedes Me app either?
No sadly Speed Camera detection is illegal in Germany where Mercedes-Benz are made and designed so naturally isn’t found in any German car in the world. Best thing if you can is to use Smartphone Integration in this video: th-cam.com/video/4wgA6bku3pI/w-d-xo.html Using Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze allows this in the car so is kind of a workaround 🤓
Great video. Very useful. I wish there was more explanation around connecting to CarPlay wirelessly. I can connect via the cable but not without. An ideas? I have a 2019 A-Class with CarPlay.
Hi M S, The reason you might not be able to find anything is because you can’t connect Apple CarPlay Wirelessly in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. No idea if it will become available in the future but yeah, it will only operate when plugged in via the USB ports.
USB-C ADAPTER

I use these for all things USB-C! Compatible with all models of Mercedes-Benz that feature USB-C ports, compatible with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto too!
Hi Nick, this work with an actual iPhone too?
Absolutely, this allows you to use Apple CarPlay and/or charge your phone in the car 🤓
It would have been nice if you had told us which Mercedes you were demonstrating in.
Ah this video isn’t specially on a single Mercedes, this is on the multimedia system. It’s found in loads of Mercedes. What model do you have and I can let you know which one is the right one.
@@npoleary ---- The system varies with models (classes), packages, and also with years and updates. I have the manual for mine, thank you. Is there anything wrong with stating the model and year you are demonstrating on? Some viewers other than myself might find it interesting to compare, and have the names of packages especially if they are in the market to buy, and know what comes with each. It's somewhat like demonstrating Windows, which varies significantly from version to version. In Mercedes, the hardware varies from model to model, too. It might be worth a separate video just comparing versions.
One item in specific I'm curious about, that I have not found any mention of, is the location of the microphone.
Hi Nick I finally collected my new car this week and just wanted to let you know that your videos are absolutely perfect and exactly what new owners need. Thanks as always !!
Thank you Andy! Glad you love the videos!
Thanks from another owner in the US! Perfect tutorial! I come off a Range Rover and you can imagine how lost I was when I got in my new Benz. Really great job 👏
Thank you! 🙏🤓
Hi Nick, just bought a A35,you helped me so much watching most of your vids understanding all technologies in my car,thank you for everything you do for all of us owners.
Thank you! 🤓🙏 no worries!
Just ordered my CLA today - so I’ll be studying this for the next 2-3 Months to get up to speed ..brilliant information
Ooo very nice! Exciting stuff!
Has it arrived yet, how are you enjoying it so far?
@@MarsorryIckuatuna not yet - the manufacturing timeline got pushed to nearly 9 months wait.. now due to arrive July ... can only think that the the CLA are now manufactured from the merc plant in Hungary and they slowed down due to covid.. 67 days and counting.......
@@steveturner6192 Ouch, the wait only makes it’s final arrival sweeter - hang in there. I waited over 6 months for my car. Now I still treat it like my baby 🤷😅
HATE my CLA lol. Been in the shop every 6 months for something…. New tire.. AUX battery in the passenger cabin went out.. real car battery went out.. bought it almost new with only 14k miles😑
Nick is absolutely excellent and a must for all Mercedes owners
Ah thank you! I need to get round to popping back into my local Mercedes to film some more stuff
Hopefully should be able to soon! I have some more ideas for the Mercedes ones 👀
The most thorough MBUX overview I've seen. Got my new GLA200 a week or so back; love fiddling around with it.
I know it took ages to film and edit! Glad you like it though Nately22! 🤓
I want to get the gla200 how do you like it? Do you recommend it?
@@hellobye4154 Yep good, just bit higher than the old model, but similar length. I've got the mid level trim, so ambient lighting, rear camera and wireless charging etc. The new mbux is great and augmented reality feature is a pretty cool feature.
@@Nately22 thank you!
Having just picked up my new Mercedes 2 days ago I’m still figuring out the system lol but having this guide is extremely helpful so thank you nick going through all that you did during the video...you are very much appreciated.
Glad it helped Janell! It's was an extremely long and thorough one! 😅
Took ages to make!
Nick O'Leary When I saw the time stamp I realised it was going to be in-depth 😆 but like I said for those of us who have little knowledge of MBUX these videos are so helpful rather then reading through books to figure out everything I’m more of a visual person so again thank you...
No worries Janell! Working on the next one already! 👀
Thank you Nick, I've only been driving a Mercedes for a couple of weeks but your videos have helped me enormously in understanding all the settings. Really informative and easy to follow you. All I need now is to figure out why my 'Hey Mercedes' doesn't understand me. Keep posting the great videos!
Ah thanks Dawn! Glad you like them! 🤓
I’ll try and keep the videos coming with new content each week!
Dawn, I’m having the same problem. I’ve had my car since October. It works sometimes, but for this expensive car. It should work all the time.
Is this for getting it work straight away (so are you having to say Hey Mercedes multiple times) or is it the fact it’s not recognising what you say?
Just took delivery of my new GLC43 AMG this week and this video has provided an excellent intro. Thanks.
Awesome thanks Mark! Mastered all of the buttons yet? 😎
Nick another brilliant video as usual great simple detail, i have had my 450 GLE for 3 months and thought i understood all the settings and tips and tricks but still learnt loads from this video well done keep them coming
Ah thanks Martin! I’ll try! Next one’s being planned out as we speak!
Thank you for helping me set a contact as a favorite. It was NOwhere in the owner’s manual! PLEASE keep up the great work!!!
Thanks James! No worries! 🤓
I’ll try and keep them coming!
Hi Nick great video, the reason why you can turn off the parking sensors is if you were to tow a trailer or caravan and you reversed with it on. you would have the constant beeping
That’s a good thought! Never thought of that before! 👍🏼🤓
12 days till my new CLA premium plus is delivered from factory. Can’t wait. Thanks for the in-depth video
Premium Plus? That's all of the gadgets! Hope you enjoy it! 🤓
What colour did you go for?
Nick O'Leary I know right. I chose the mountain grey
Good choice 👍🏼
Hello from Singapore! I will be collecting my new A Class Saloon soon. Was researching on the new MBUX system and I came across your videos! Very informative. I am sure I will be playing around with the different settings once I have collected the car. Thank you and keep the videos coming! Cheers.
Ooo exciting! Thanks kaiser misaki! Glad you’re loving the content!
Nick, you have very informative series of videos for a new Merc owner. You certainly know your car. Very helpful. All your videos should come with the car on a USB. Much better than trying to go through the manual.
Thanks Max! Yeah I’ve looked at the manual before and it’s like 700+ pages so....😅
Thank you very much, Nick. Great job. Saves us a lot of time going through the books and keep going to the dealer. Your effort is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Ah amazing thanks Deepak no problem!
Thanks Nick! As usual in details materials. I will go to the garage to verify which functions I do have /don't have in my poor 2020 A200 progressive.
Just for you to know, to add the navigation MB officially asked no less than USD 10.500 .
Yes,,,, I said just to add navigation into MBUX.
Thanks again!!
Hi Nick, just bought a new e class and have been watching all your relevant videos. Thanks for all you work its been valuable
Ah awesome thank you David! What colour did you go for? 🤓
Nick - Four weeks into new A Class your videos very helpful. I remember somewhere there is an option to change voice, language options such as English Australian, English Irish etc on MBUX. Can you nudge me in right direction. Many more videos to watch, but really helping setting up personal options in the car. Thank you
Thanks Blizzard Bear, yes you can change the language
Press HOME, SETTINGS, SYSTEM, LANGUAGE
If you’ve accidentally changed it to a different language and need to get it back, press HOME, scroll to the far right, press SETTINGS icon, far right button and scroll down to find the only menu icon with the picture of the world 🌎
@@npoleary Nick Thanks will try that in a moment. Is this the one that gives you the variations on English accents or the main language ? More video watching later so I can enjoy my new toy even more. Keep making them, very very helpful.
Ah no this is changing the language of the car. Sadly there are no voice adjustments on MBUX like in terms of different accents etc
However if you use Apple CarPlay, there are different accents on there to change 👍🏼
Fantastic knowledge sharing in this and all your video tutorials. Great work, thank you Nick!
Thank you! 🙏🤓🙏
Hi Nick, good to see you back with another great video. Keep it up and all the best wishes. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good to be back! Thanks Jag! 👍🏼

Hello Nick, good to see you again in the showroom and in the vehicle. 👍🏼 - Thanks for the great video and all the work that goes with it. 😃 - The „terrible“ thing about watching your videos is that the waiting time for the new E Coupé I ordered seems even longer. 🧐🤷🏻♂️😉
Thanks Sven!

Took ages to make this one! Haha 🤓
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am a huge fan of your videos. Really like this comprehensive E2E one.
I learned new things, like phone book name order, or navigation extra tips.
In an improvement perspective, you missed a nice one for radio, to list "text information", you share on another video you have.
My suggestion, you should use this video to link to ALL other your videos, at the right point you talk about it... so even if you "repeating" information from those videos, we (husband) can always share the shorter one with our wife ;-)
I truly like your sincerity of what works for you and not. Kudos!
Be well and stay safe!!
Amazing work!!!
You are absolutely right Tiago! I’ll add the radio text info to the description on extra things that I didn’t cover!
And yes I’ve added a few callout cards at the top of the videos but I know depending on the app you’re using it may not always show.
I’ve got a couple already on there from Driving Assistance Package to, Apple CarPlay etc
I think I linked 5 which is the max limit you can do on TH-cam 🤓

Thanks so much for taking time with your dedicate answer to me.

Great invaluable video Nick. So much more understandable than the manual. I so regret not having Augmented reality and wish it was an aftermarket add on. Thanks again
No worries David! Glad you liked it!
Yeah it is cool but the sat nav is still really good even without it
Thank you so much this is what I've been searching for
Another excellent video Nick. Unfortunately I don't have MBUX with my mercedes but command online is excellent I must say. I really am particularly impressed by the augmented reality navigation.
Oh it’s so clever! The S-Class coming out soon will have that augmented navigation in the heads up display!! So cool!
Concisely presented the features in MB cars. Thx Nick
Thank you! 🤓

Hi Nick, I have enjoyed many of you videos. Shame I only found them recently as I could have used them for my two previous Mercedes. I heard you say iPhones don't have NFC in this video, from what I understand that is not true. Please see the following.
All the iPhones released in recent years have NFC. In fact, every iPhone since iPhone 6, which came out in 2014, has a built-in NFC chip. If you need details just to be sure, here’s the whole list of iPhones that are NFC-enabled:
iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max
iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2nd Gen)
iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max
iPhone XR
iPhone X
iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus
iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone SE
Pease keep the videos coming they are all interesting.
Hey Andy, thank you!
Yes I remember slightly! It was in reference to that you can't use NFC to pair phones via Bluetooth etc. I think I may have phrased it incorrectly but yes you're right, ever since iPhone 6 you've been able to use NFC although background NFC reading and writing has been available since iPhone XR.
It was also locked to just Apple Pay for quite a while too!
A very thorough walk through. Thank you.
Thanks Alan! Glad you liked it! 👍🏼
Hi Nick - new car for wife collected this morning and found that navigation instructions somehow seemed a bit late. This especially so on a large complex and busy roundabout where the 'take next turning' type instruction came a bit late for comfort. Prior to that I think the system did initially say take 3rd, 4th, etc. exit when joining the roundabout. Also where turnoffs are quite closely spaced you don't want to be told to turn off too soon. But, Is there any way to fine tune the extent of such advance warning? I use a late TomTom device myself and the advance warning somehow seems a bit better timed / more relaxed than the Mercedes system on wife's A200. I've seen your excellent MBUX full guide so suspect there no option to change the advance warning - like there is on some speed camera apps. Advice appreciated.
Ooo nice!
No sadly not I’ve not seen a setting for that on any Sat Nav thinking about it, but good idea though! 🤓
I’ve seen settings for early, medium and late for others things but sadly not Sat Nav instructions
Hi, Just bought a Merc and needed help in all areas of use. Found your vid’s very informative. However found it difficult to view the small screen while you are presenting on the larger one. Nice to see you but prefer the reverse to see the display. Especially using a phone! Trying to view the Mbux for an hour is tiring on such a small screen and difficult to see. Just a comment you may wish to consider.
Thanks Chris! Glad you enjoyed it! Yes of course some of my more recent tutorials I have started to do this so all of the elements can be seen / read easier 🤓
So much stuff, great review Nick
Thanks Lyndon 20 :)
These videos are great and have helped a lot. However should a 2020 v class have voice Hey merc on it as I cannot seem to get it to work.
Thanks again for the informative videos
Thank you! It depends if it has a multimedia system called MBUX. Usually has a touchpad in the middle of the car as opposed to a wheel to control the screen.
Thank you - 3 mercs and this is the only one that I just don't really get. It's such overload for so few actual functions.
Excellent! Very informative. Thank you!!
No problem Eric! 👊🏼
Got the delivery of my new GLE yesterday
Still figuring it out
Ah awesome! Ooo a GLE! Very nice! 👌🏼
@@npoleary Thank you
Great job! It is going to provide me with hours of fun! Shame Mercedes invested so much in “gimmicky” seat tricks when they could have incorporated more practical devices such as dashcam. The law in the UK regarding privacy seems moot as it’s perfectly legal to install an aftermarket dashcam.
Thanks David! Glad you liked it! Oh you’re absolutely right aftermarket dash cams are fine but when it’s built into a car, that’s where it’s a problem with uk law.
Something like that anyway! Hope it’ll come to cars in the future!
Nick O'Leary Yet I can ask my dealer to install the Mercedes Hardwired Dashcam! Somebody seems to have their heads on a swivel!
Maybe...from what I’ve heard it’s run through Mercedes me in other countries so I’m guessing it’ll come through on that if and when it does. Fingers crossed!
Nick, fantastic videos. I am in the U.S. and picked up my fully optioned E450 4matic three weeks ago. If it weren’t for you I would be lost. Thanks to your videos I am telling the sales person how things work. Having had BMW for the last 12 (2 650 coupes and 2 750s) the MBUX is a major learning curve and one thing I have not been able to figure out is how to name a destination favorite as I could do with BMW and you mentioned at 10:40 of your full MBUX walkthrough guide. For instance, my daughter’s house address, I saved it as a favorite but I want to see “Kristen’s House” as the label such as I see Work or Home in favorites. How can I do this? I can’t find it in the owners manual nor does the dealer know. Thank you again
Thanks Rich! Haha glad you’re liking the videos!
Ah okay, so I’m hoping the U.S. vehicles have the same button locations! 😅
First of all save your Sat Nav destinations in your favourites, then press the Star button located in the centre console. From here find your favourite you want to change and hold your finger on the icon on the screen. You should see a menu pop up, from here you can rename them to anything you’d like.
Hope that helps :)
Thank you for the video and hello from across the pond. My wife and I are awaiting our 2020 GLE450 with E-ABC and was a great video for MBUX. Would you like some topics for other videos? We would love to see the Easy Entry/Exit in action, not just how to set it up. Also the would love to see the Lower When Getting In function, selection and the actual operation. Can these functions be set as default functions or must they selected every time? Watched nearly all of your videos and enjoyed each one. Thank you again.
Hi Ken,
Of course the easy entry and exit function basically just moves the seat and steering wheel out of the way when you turn the car off. When you get back in, it’ll go back the way you had it.
The lower when getting in function is quite cool, although I didn’t mention it in this video:
th-cam.com/video/Haaa-pMOEHs/w-d-xo.html
I do show the suspension lowering all the way down and all the way back up.
@@npoleary Nick, thank you for your reply, I will look at that video again, sometimes I view them late at night and my eyes get heavy. Thank you for making such informative videos, they do help.
No worries! I did a time lapse of the suspension going all the down and then back up although I don’t think I mentioned that feature but I did use it in the clip.
Thanks for watching! 🤓
Thanks Nick for another very useful and in depth walkthrough of MBUX 👌
Thanks Mark! Yeah it was very in depth!
Longest video I’ve ever made! 😅
This channel is truly underrated. I know I've recently made a suggestion about the digital lights, but please see if you can also do a video on the trailer maneuver assist feature found on the GLC.
Thanks Mark! That means a lot! 🙏🤓
I’ll keep the videos coming, I haven’t forgotten about Digital Light!
Sadly with Trailer Manoeuvring Assist, it’s quite tricky as I can’t drive with a trailer myself and also I don’t have anything to tow. I also haven’t seen it on UK spec for a long time
Hi Nick, I collected my new E200 coupe Friday, and your videos are so helpful.
Question regarding the navigation system: I couldn't find a way to add a "current location" where the car is, as a favourite.
Is it lacking? Tomtom offers this feature which is very neat.
Thanks again.
Kim
Hey ikura72, thank you! Glad you’re loving the videos!
Is it a new E-Class with MBUX (the one with the Hey Mercedes voice assistant). You can also tell if you have MBUX if your multimedia system has a touch screen 🤓

No problem Michael! 🤓
Hi Nick,
I have C-Class on order, and I am finding your videos extremely interesting while I am waiting for it. Superb insight into what I am looking forward to. (Although I suspect I will be waiting a while...)
A quick question on the Sat-Nav component of MBUX. When I am planning journeys in advance I tend to enter destinations and waypoints into my present Sat-Nav system as coordinates, (ie. 50.382135, -3.596105), rather than as street names, POIs or Postcodes, because I find that they are far more accurate and specific.
So, is it possible to enter destinations into MBUX as coordinates please? I didn't spot any mention of coordinates in the complete walkthrough video.
Hey Robin, ooo very nice! And thank you glad you love the videos!
No sadly coordinates are slowly being phased out but Mercedes do have What3Words integration when linked to your Mercedes me account: th-cam.com/video/zMYbD-1dLXI/w-d-xo.html
These are very accurate and might help! 🤓
Great video, very helpful thanks
Thank you Vincent!
hi, nick great guide for MBUX, just got my first A class last week and the guide was great for setting up my MBUX. But just one thing how the hell do you turn the radio OFF? Each time I start the car the radio comes on and have to mute it each time. your advice would be great thanks.
Ah awesome thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! 🤓
Oooo very nice! 👌🏼
Best thing to do in that situation is just select MEDIA and select the USB port. As long as you don’t have anything plugged in, it’ll just start silently 🤓
I find your videos so informative. Thank you. I hope to have my 2021 GLE 450 by the end of June. I park in a public garage where I have a remote to open up the garage door. In my current Audi Q5, they were able to program the car at the dealership using the remote so that I could use a button inside the car to open the garage door. Do you have a video on how to program a garage remote?
Hey Susan, thank you! Glad you like them!
Unfortunately Mercedes don’t have that facility (well not in the UK anyway) hard to tell where everyone’s from on TH-cam! 😅
Spec can vary from country to country so that could be different elsewhere.
Aren’t the buttons on the underside of the rear view mirror?
No sadly not on UK models :(
I’ve seen it before though on a car in the USA, if I remember think they were black buttons under the mirror
Hi. Very usefull video’s. Thx. Do you know where we can change the Qwerty keybord to azerty ??
Thank you! No sadly it’s just a QWERTY keyboard on Mercedes, I haven’t seen any other keyboards layouts apart from other languages.

Hi Nick. Yet another great video and excellent MBUX walkthrough. I have noticed a setting on my 2020 CLA250 AMG Line Premium Plus called "Easy entry and exit feature" which looks as though it should automatically move the electric seats etc when getting in\out of the vehicle. I have it enabled it but it does not appear to work. This can be enabled directly on the MBUX display or alternatively in the Mercedes ME app. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue on the same model or whether I have misinterpreted the feature?
Hey Keith, two things to try...have you made a profile yet? I have found it didn’t work on the guest profile. Also I know the seat will only move you to get out if your seat’s position is restrictive for you to get out. For me I’m quite tall so the seat doesn’t move any further back. But for someone shorter it’ll then move back.
If that doesn’t work I’m sure your local Mercedes can assist with getting it sorted for you. They might need to book it in as a last resort.
@@npoleary Hi Nick, it is set to my own profile, based on your reply I also tried another profile with a seat position set forward, still doesn't seem to work, maybe a software bug. I will engage the local Mercedes centre. Thanks for the reply.
Ah okay, hope you get it sorted!
Hello Nick you are the answer to my fervent wish and I will no longer say to anyone that my car is cleverer than me! Purchased my GLA 250E from a non Merc dealer four days ago so you will understand my opening sentence. Would you recommend fitting a tracking device as I live in a London borough. I found these have soared in price and purchasing a 5 year contract is a bit on the expensive side especially as I am retired and the car is parked in a garage when not in use. Similarly, as a low mileage user, do I need to have a charging point installed at home? I used the normal charger and plugged in and in three hours I was fully charged. I look forward to your answer and thank you so much for the videos.
Ah awesome Jean! Glad you like the videos!
It’s up to you with a dedicated tracking function to be honest. All Mercedes-Benz have the facility to locate the car on a map (part of the vehicle monitoring package, some models get it free of charge for 3 years)
There is also a service called the Stolen Vehicle Help which your insurance company may allow you to have and subsequently reduce your premium. You can read more about it on the Mercedes me store and see if it’s suitable.
Regarding a dedicated charging point at home, as long as you’re happy with how it is now, then you should be okay. If you want to take advantage of faster charge speeds then I would advise going for it, otherwise if you charge overnight then I’m sure you’ll be fine!
Hope that answers your questions!
Thank you very much for your detailed response. It help me enormously.
Hope MB reward you for your very clear instructional videos. I will continue to watch with interest.
I've finally found you! We are 4 days into a 2021 GLE 350 and have completely lost our minds trying to figure out the control of our different seat memory. Do you cover this in a video? Seem that the profile seating from the dash may or may not allow the seat memory located on the drivers door to operate in a manner which is useful. So when my wife drives and then exits as I attempt to enter the car, I can't fit even after the seat adjust has moved the seat and steering away from each other. The obvious solution is to press my number "3" memory position on the door so that the adjusts to allow me into the vehicle. It doesn't. need to know the order of setting up multiple profiles / memory positions to allow a smoother transition of drivers... Any advise? our dealer is dumbfounded as well.
Hey Robert, this is a common question and is fairly easy. The way Memory Seats work in most countries with MBUX is that it saves your Memory 1, Memory 2 & Memory 3 onto your profile.
So if you load up another profile, then you’ll also load up another Memory 1, Memory 2 & Memory 3.
Best scenario for this is to load up as you said, each other’s seats on each profile so that you can use it at all times.
What I’ve described above can vary slightly though from feedback from around the world in the comments section so do bare that in mind! 🤓
Hi Nick, thanks for all your help in the past. I've another question, how do you avoid tolls on the sat nav. I've gone into settings on the sat nav, but I can't find it. It's probably me. lol. I have MBUX. Thanks again Dave
No worries! I seem to remember it was on the bottom right on the Navi screen under Settings then advanced. It was called “Avoid Options” and in there should be Avoid Toll Roads 👍🏼
Thanks for your prompt reply. I'll give it a go today. Cheers, Dave
Hi Nick, I've found it and reset it for no toll roads. Thanks again pal. Keep doing the vids. 👍
Will do! 👀
Hi Nick - your great videos have kept me entertained on the loooong wait for my new CLA which I took delivery of last month. Two queries on MBUX - is it possible to change the tyre pressure units on the 10.2” drivers display to PSI? and is it no longer possible to display full screen map on the drivers display? I only have two “red dot” options - map or previous destinations, no full screen.
Hey Steven, thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
No sadly being built and designed in Europe, Mercedes only have the measurements displayed in KPA which is quite common over there. KPA is more accurate anyway and the fuel filler cap will usually show both on there for easy conversions.
With the Sat Nav going full screen, sadly it’s only found on certain specifications as I’ve found that it wasn’t on every model.
Off road score and energetic comfort screens are missing on my fully loaded 2021 GLS 580, and I do have E-Active Body Control, off road package and air balance package with fragrance and ionization.
Hey Soyuz,
Ooo wow very nice!
Really sorry, there’s no such thing as a GLS 580 here in the UK :(
There’s only a GLS 400d and a Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 here. My guess is that the specification might be different in other countries? Sorry wish I could offer some assistance. You could always speak to your local dealership, they might be able to help?
@@npoleary Thanks for the reply. We ordered it in January 2020, were told that we should expect delivery in May. But with everything goings on, it ended up December built and a 2021 model. In 2021 some dealer codes changed and we were unable to order a heated/cooled 2nd row cup holder with our Executive Package Plus. It is no longer listed as available option on Mercedes website in the US. Energizing Comfort was another code that disappeared from our original 2020 built. They must have changed somethings in 2021, now that Maybach is available, they want to give people the reason to buy one instead, and are stripping down the regular GLS.
Ah I see
That spec is a little different to what I know of in the UK! But yes it can change in the factory throughout the year when a change comes in.
Ooo yeah a GLS Maybach, haven’t seen one of those yet!
NICK! Thank goodness for you! I've learned so much about my new MB (2020 GLE) thanks to you! Question: I live in the US and I think you've demo'd this but I can't find the video. How do you have your center console Where the speedometer is) show the NAVI in full screen? I have the center option showing NAVI but I only have three dots so Full Screen is not there. Is it not avail in US or am I doing something wrong? You're the best man. Don't ever stop!
Hey Mr Rick,
Thanks glad you like them! :)
Yes I have noticed this before some models have it and some don’t (think it’s just down to the specification) but for the ones that don’t have it you can usually put the Navi on the dial on the right. I know it’s not full screen but at least it puts the map on the instrument cluster 🤓
Great video Nick. I have subbed to you for a while now as I will be buying a merc a class with the amg line premium package. I literally can't wait to get my hands on this mbux system! The ambient lighting is my 2nd fave thing about the car.
Only thing that will be annoying for is that I use a nextbase 522gw dashcam and that plugs into the cigarette lighter meaning on the a class I will have to leave the slider open all the time. Maybe I could get the dashcam hard wired by the dealer?
Thanks Crispy! Ooo nice! I’ve owned one with the Premium Package, I know those ambient lights 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Potentially you’ll have to ask them but I know most dealerships won’t usually as they have to sell cars as they are with no modifications.
@@npoleary thanks for the reply Nick 👍 I should be carrying out a test drive on April 12th when the lockdown restrictions are eased for a test drive. Apparently when I make the order as its a new car I will have to wait roughly 3 months? Hopefully i don't have to wait too long as I'm not sure how long I can wait lol
Ah it’ll be with the wait! I’m sure you’ll love it!
Hi Nick. Do you know if the Dashcam feature that now shows as available on the new E Class will be made enabled on the CLA? I have just ordered a CLA200 Shooting Brake, Permium Plus and Drivers Assistance package, which is a couple of months away and wondered if it will be available by then. Thanks. Keep up the great work on you video's.
Hi Ian,
Really sorry but Dashcam is not available in the UK on CLA’s. I’ve heard rumours of something in the works, but we’ll have to see if anything happens.
My fingers are crossed because that would be an amazing feature! If anything happens, I’ll cover it on the channel straight away!
@@npoleary thanks. Fingers crossed for a future video from you. Hopefully a software update if it is introduced here in the UK.
Hi Nick. love all your guides. So worthwhile. but i wonder if you can advise me. i have a 2019 2.0d SE which a bought a couple of months ago. i was initially surprised that it didn't have Android Auto fitted as standard. and then extremely disappointed to find out there was no upgrade for it on the system I have. Think it is the immediate predecessor to the full MBUX system. Can you advise please? thank you.
Hi D Barr,
Sorry didn’t catch which model you have...you said SE so I guess a C-Class or E-Class or something?
If it’s the one before MBUX called NTG 5.5 then no you have to have either the Smartphone integration package or COMAND (depending on which model you have) to be able to connect your phone via Android Auto.
Hi Nick.lm shortly taking delivery of a A250e Amg plug-in. Have you covered this car at all? Dave
Sure have 😎
th-cam.com/video/XnMvX9AbfnE/w-d-xo.html
Ok nick very informative thanx for your reply
Hi Nick, great review of the MBUX system. I have just taken delivery of my new 2021 GLB 220d AMG Premium and absolutely love the car. Unfortunately the augmented reality software is missing from the Navigation system, is this something that you can shed a little light on for me, I have spoken to the supplying dealer who can not explain this omission, any ideas?
Hey Stuart, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Augmented Reality hasn’t been available for quite a while on all models due to the semiconductor shortage so it was removed from literature earlier this year because of this.
It’s not the software though, it’s the actual hardware (the semiconductors) so models no longer offer this option.
Nick. Thanks for the heads up & please continue with the great work👍🏼
Thanks Nick 👍
Thanks great benefit and learnt alot
Thanks John! No problem!
Hi Nick, very detailed and highly informative video. May I ask which USB dongle you would recommend. Also is it interchangeable with apple and android phones as my wife use android and I have apple phone.
I use this one: bit.ly/USB-CtoUSB
🤓
Hello Nick . I’m new to your channel but have watched quite a few since buying a week ago a Hymer 2019 Mercedes 177 auto with a Sprinter chassis and Mbux10.5 nav and Apple play on reduced size screen ( pity ) . Quick question the vehicle is LHD from Netherlands but first registered new in Uk 2019 with apparently 24k miles according to MOT . My question is is the odometer in Kilometers or miles ie can it be changed from one to the other ? Many thanks
Hey! Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Sadly I’ve not ever involved Mercedes Commercial vehicles on my channel. I know they have some similarities but the only thing I can suggest is have a look on the central screen.
Home
Settings
System
Units
And see if it’s listed there
Hi Nick love your videos!
Thank you! 🙏
I have recently purchased a brand new E200 facelift and would like to know if it is possible to do a screen capture of the dashboard and MBUX system. Many thanks!
Hi cx251hkg,
I wish I could too! Sadly no you can’t capture any screens on MBUX.
I have to position cameras round the car in certain positions to show it on my videos 🤓
@@npoleary What a shame…
Thanks for your swift reply Nick!
Please keep up with your good work as I (as well as many others) learnt a lot from your videos.
Thank you!
If a screen capture can be done, that would be amazing! That would enhance the quality of the videos so much!
First of all allow me to gongrats you for your amazing job!! It's really appriciating! A tiny question for you. I am the owner of a new new CLA 180 coupe with mbux on it. It is not possible to hear me when I call #hey mercedes#. If I use the relevant key on steering wheel , the voice helper can hear me (not 100% good but ok) and performs the order. The voice is activate from system settings (LINGUATRONIC). Haveyou any idea or I have to see my local dealer?? Thank you in advance!!
Mmm that’s strange, there is the menu option in the LINGUATRONIC menu to turn this off and on but it should be on by default. The activation phrases are “Hey Mercedes” or “Hi Mercedes”.
If it’s not working, speak to your local showroom, I’m sure they can help!
@@npoleary I come back, just to inform you what was the problem!!! The Hey or Hi Mercedes problem, was due to an error in the accent !! The error comes from the factory and the right way to speak is Hi or Hey MERCIDES!!!!
This is the official answer and believe me...it works!!
Ah amazing! Glad you managed to get it sorted!
Wow! Great video Nick. You don't know this, but you are our product concierge. We bought our 2020 GLE350 last year and your videos have allowed to learn all the features at our own pace (without having to trouble someone at our local dealership). Quick question - do these various MBUX settings stay with the individual driver? Or are some settings global regardless of which driver is using the vehicle? Thanks! And cheers from the US.
Aha thanks A Gupta! Glad you like the videos! I’ll try and keep them coming!
Pretty much all of the settings I covered in the video are saved per user of MBUX when you make profiles. At least that’s how it is on UK Spec cars! I presume it should be the same on USA cars too!
Hi Nick, does the MBUX Navigation have a speed camera detection? Where there is an audible sound to show there is a camera ahead or a camera sign on the Sat Nav? I couldn’t see this as part of a subscription on the Mercedes Me app either?
No sadly Speed Camera detection is illegal in Germany where Mercedes-Benz are made and designed so naturally isn’t found in any German car in the world.
Best thing if you can is to use Smartphone Integration in this video: th-cam.com/video/4wgA6bku3pI/w-d-xo.html
Using Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze allows this in the car so is kind of a workaround 🤓
Thanks Nick, great video!
No problem! 😊
Great video. Very useful. I wish there was more explanation around connecting to CarPlay wirelessly. I can connect via the cable but not without. An ideas? I have a 2019 A-Class with CarPlay.
Hi M S,
The reason you might not be able to find anything is because you can’t connect Apple CarPlay Wirelessly in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. No idea if it will become available in the future but yeah, it will only operate when plugged in via the USB ports.
There is the digi dash. I haven't tried it yet, but will soon.
