- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2024
- Here's a complete walkthrough guide of MBUX NTG 6 running through every setting on Mercedes-Benz’s latest infotainment system. There's a lot of detail today so it is only recommended for owners who want to know everything about their car. Scrolling through the chapters below are recommended due to the length of the walkthrough!
Chapters:
0:00 Intro
2:41 Phone
7:20 Navi
21:12 Radio
23:11 Media
25:10 Comfort
30:34 Info
33:08 Mercedes me & Apps
34:34 Settings
Now I will say I’ve cropped parts of this video to keep it under 1 hour so there are a couple of things that are not included. These are:
Navi Route Types
Fast (default and my recommended) - A route with a quick journey time is calculated
Short - A route with a short driving distance is calculated
Eco - An economical route is calculated. The journey time may be somewhat longer than for quicker routes.
Trailer - A route that is optimised for trailers with a permitted maximum speed of 50mph is selected
Themes (swiping down from the home screen)
There are a few themes to choose which are very similar to profiles but load your screens, lights and settings within your own profile
Instrument cluster dials
To keep this video under an hour, I couldn’t cover this side of the car but quite simply it’s controlled using the touchpad on the steering wheel along with he home and back buttons next to it. Swipe left or right to move from dial to dial and then swipe up and down
The Garmin Smartwatch I mentioned in the comfort section is called a Mercedes-Benz-branded Vívoactive 3 GPS.

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!
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 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!
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!
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? 😎
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!
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! 👍🏼
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, 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? 🤓
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! 🙏🤓
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!
Oh dang that’s no good, I mean it’ll be worth the wait! They look incredible!
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
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!!
Great video Nick, incredibly helpful. Just waiting on my new GLS and I can put all of your tips and info to use.
Ah awesome John! Thanks!
I’m sure you’ll love it! 🤓
Thanks for this Nick. You really saved me weeks of reading and struggling to understand the mbux system.
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it! 🤓
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! 👀
Fantastic knowledge sharing in this and all your video tutorials. Great work, thank you Nick!
Thank you! 🙏🤓🙏
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!
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....😅
Thanks for another clear and useful video Nick.
Thanks Juan! Glad you liked it! 🤓
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?
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!
Is way long but is also worth it. Thanks for going in-depth with details Nick 👊🏿
I know 😅
Took ages to make this one! Haha 🤓
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like how you reply to all your comments 🎉 very informative video too!
Thanks Mishary! I try and respond to all comments where I can :)
(The nice ones of course 😅)
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!
Damn, dude how I would like to tryout your job in the future. Very good video, keep up the good work.
I’ll try and keep the videos coming! 👀
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 👀
Well done for sharing software version it does make a difference I’ve got quite a few extras since I updated to version ntg6/080
Thanks Jason! No problem, glad you liked it!
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 😀
Thank you Derek! 🤓🤓🙏
Concisely presented the features in MB cars. Thx Nick
Thank you! 🤓
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😑
Hi Nick...hello from Portugal ...youre amazing , thanks so much for your great explanations...
A very thorough walk through. Thank you.
Thanks Alan! Glad you liked it! 👍🏼
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
@@npoleary
Thx. for your quick answer.
No, I meant GLE 350 E - the petrol version!!!
Oh I see! Haha
We don’t have that here in the UK! Only the diesel one 🤓
Lovely and with such a long video. thanks a lot. Nick!!!
No worries! Glad you enjoyed it 🤓
Great MBUX video guide. Many thanks!
Thanks Serhiy! 🤓
So much stuff, great review Nick
Thanks Lyndon 20 :)
Great video as always, pick up my car tomorrow and My local dealer sent me your way as they can’t do a proper handover....they must be impressed
Ah awesome who was local dealer Mark? Just curious if I’ve been there before! 😅
Also what model you picking up? Exciting! New Car day!
@@npoleary Bedford, quite a long way from you, picking up a Cla Premium plus excited much 😃
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!
Awesome video, just picked up a new mercedes and this is great information.
Ah awesome! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much this is what I've been searching for
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 👍🏼
Thank you so much for these videos, they are so helpful 🙏🏾
No problem! 🤓
Very very helpful, so clear and so well presented.
Thanks M! 😊
Excellent! Very informative. Thank you!!
No problem Eric! 👊🏼
Thanks Nick! I got my GLA250 1 Wk ago. Still personalizing my new ride.
Awesome! 👍🏼
Love that 250 engine, so fast! 💨
*Scrap heap by 2025 when all going Electric and Fossil Fuel costing £50 a Pint !*
Likely getting a A200 with all features soon, this is super helpful.
Nick
Very informative, especially for the first time buyers like me.
No problem I K J 🤓
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! 👍🏼🤓
Thanks Nick, great video!
No problem! 😊
Excellent, thanks Nick.
No problem Michael! 🤓
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!!
Haha no worries Bulaxa! yeah you're telling me! Never made one this long before and it took ages to make!
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 👍🏼
Great video as always
Thanks macdogge! 🤓
Thanks Nick 👍
Ok nick very informative thanx for your reply
Thank you much needed😊
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! 😅
Great video, very helpful thanks
Thank you Vincent!
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....
Very true! Snow is very rare here! But good tip!
Hi Nick love your videos!
Thank you! 🙏
Explain very detail 👍💪🏼
its 10pm here and i felt like watching a good movie. mbux review;
55mins long
in 4k
and he’s British
🍿 out
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!
Nick O'Leary i actually, im considering the cla 45 (us). I wanted to learn more about their cars and systems.
Ah awesome car! I’d love one of those 👌🏼
👍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.
Ah no problem! 🤓
Excelente vídeo. Thank you very much.
Thank you Peter! 🤓
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video👏🏻
Thanks Hedef 2023! 🙏
Thanks great benefit and learnt alot
Thanks John! No problem!
Could someone clarify how to synchronise my Android mobile with Mercedes phone. I made some changes on my mobile, but they are not reflected in the car.
Great videos! I have been seeing them all! Could you please do another one like this with the Commnand Online used in the C300 de? Keep up the good work! Cheers
Ooo I’d love to! The only thing is that Mercedes-Benz of Poole (where I film) don’t have one at the moment :(
If they do I’ll consider it!
Nick O'Leary thanks mate! Great great work you’re doing! Congrats!
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 :)
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.
Hello, thanks for your videos. One issue I have is how to change my music to the next song (if I don’t like the oneplaying) when I am using the navigation system. I need to go to the mouse pad click, then songs appear in the lower part of the screen , then I can switch to next song. Is there an easier way?
That’s one way, you could potentially do it on the instrument cluster if you select Media behind the steering wheel 🤓
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 🤓
Hey nick. Thank you for doing these. So helpful.
Any ideas on how to connect to a profile in the vehicle to Mercedes me. For me it just doesn’t work and I have tried everything. Just says connection failed.
No worries! Glad you enjoy them!
Only certain cars can make use of profiles within Mercedes me and it’s designed if you share your car with multiple people 🤓
If you get stuck, chat with Mercedes me Support from the app and they can let you know if it’s supported 👍🏼
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!
Hello, I would like to ask you a question, I could not find a lot of sources for information, when did the feature of detecting from which side the sound came from in which year in mercedes a class models on the web? A class ntg6 model 2019-2020-2021?
I believe it started to come out out in 2020
When I started my channel, I do remember jumping in a car that I filmed at the time and it only recognised the driver’s side but newer one’s do both driver and passenger.
Maybe a dealer might no the exact dates though if you ask them 🤓
Hi Nick, do you have anymore info on connecting the Garmin smartwatch and additional models ? i have a new one and would like to try and connect it ? Thanks
Hey Darrell, I’ve heard of this before but not seen myself. I think it was available on very select models with the right equipment & believe that it was also certain vivoactive watches 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. I have new E300e - is there a solution (either MB or other) available to enable use of the 360 camera to record a la dashcam?
Hi Don,
Unfortunately no there isn’t. I wish there was though as that would prove very useful! Also one thing to note, the 360 camera wouldn’t be that good as it’s positioned too low/ Dashcams need to be eye level.
Hi Nick - the turn indicator audible 'click' is rather quiet on the A200 just collected but we can't seem to find any way to up the level. Other users have also raised this as well, so is there any way to increase this?
Yes I’ve noticed that too on my car I’ve just bought
But I haven’t found a setting to change it
I think that’s how they are
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. 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.
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 very much 👍👍👍
No problem! 🤓
Great video Nick. I have the GLE 350 de. I don’t seem to be able to put the gps full screen on the dashboard (where the dials are), can you help me? Thanks
Hey Traintastic sorry the full map screen on the instrument cluster isn’t on all Mercedes models, it’s found on only a few of them. You can check by going to the Navi part of your instrument cluster and the swipe up or down. If you see Full Screen then you can click it in.
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 nick my iPhone is connected to mbux via Bluetooth but each time I get in the car I seem to have to connect the phone is this normal min though it would recognise my mobile automatically?
Not heard of that happening before, have you tried unpairing from both devices and re-pairing back up?
Stupid question maybe but is there a way to install or update NTG 6 to NTG 7 on a 2023 A class Saloon? I got one of the very last AMG line ones produced with the touchpad before the facelift that same year, and if I understood correctly NTG 7 can only function with the new Mercedes lineup without the touchpad...
Sadly no NTG 6 and NTG 7 are not the same multimedia systems, it’s different hardware so not just software
Hi Nick, how do you make the sat nav appear on your steering wheel dash so it’s easier to see when you’re driving?
Produced a video on the instrument cluster here: th-cam.com/video/wRlJ8DEri8o/w-d-xo.html
🤓
It can vary from model to model so double check with your local Mercedes if you’re not sure 👍🏼
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.

Settings
System

And see if it’s listed there
Another question please Nick. How many destinations does MBUX allow you to save (as favourites)?
I just updated the Sat-Nav in my current [non-Mercedes] car, and found that the update reduced the number I could save down to just 20, which is not really enough for me.
Please tell me that MBUX does better than that.
Hey Robin, MBUX allows up to 20 destinations on the favourites however if you have more you could always save them on your phone and then send them to car when needed via the Mercedes me app.
Hi Nick is there anyway to get the MBUX system on my 2019 G63 to be touch screen?
Hey Romi, sadly MBUX hasn’t made it into the G-Class yet. I’m sure Mercedes are working on something for the next model!
Hi Nick,
I’ve recently purchased my first Mercedes A Class A250 exclusive edition plus. I have a question regarding I Phone connection, incoming call ring tone only rings from the phone and not the speakers, and the ring tone is that of the phone and not the selected mbux ring tone...
Any thoughts. Thanks
Hey Kevin,
All iPhones do this, I have seen this on the MBUX menus before. I’m guessing it’s the way they’re designed.
I’ve always thought that the MBUX ringtone might be for non-iPhones or something. Don’t worry it’s not a fault!
Hi Nick, for some reason we can no longer use google maps on the MBUX for the EQA. If i share location from my phone is just keeps looping and says failed to send. Now, this has been happening ever since i canclled my Mercedes Me account as was jsut a waste of money! Can you help or offer a work around on this?
Hey Tang Yin, I’ve noticed this too! Not sure if Google have changed something on their end but it affects everyone so I’m sure they’re on it
Hey Nick,
Your video is so useful!
At 42:30, when I press automatic seat ajustment, nothing happens besides the blue thing turning grey or then blue. I have a GLA hybrid, with every package, do you think this is simply not available for GLAs?
Ah no problem!
I know the height thing isn’t available on the compact cars but is on GLE’s & GLS’s.
If you have Premium Plus there should be an Easy Entry / Exit button which can move the seat so it’s easier to get out if it’s too far forward.
Hope that helps!
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
🤓
HI nick, how do i get the navi/maps full screen on the driver's display? ( as shown by few reviews on youtube.) Is it possible to connect MBUX to your mobile hotspot and does it support video playback from a memory stick. I have E class facelift .
Hey faryal zafar,
If your car has it, use the touchpad on the steering wheel (the one that controls your instrument cluster)
Press HOME
Swipe to Navi and click it in
Swipe up and down and go to full screen (if your car has it, not all Mercedes have this feature)
No you can’t connect your phone to MBUX, asides from a browser, there isn’t any point to be honest even if you could. You can do it the other way round though and get the car to give your phone or tablet internet access. Just like your phone though this does cost so bear that in mind.
Video playback is possible on certain systems, you may just have to try it with a memory stick. You need option code 549 I believe if it’s the same as other models which comes with Augmented Reality. Basically it gives you a faster processor ready to handle live images like video playback.
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! 🤓
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
