I just picked up my GLC 300 2024 yesterday. Your video is really helpful, the guys from the Mercedes did go through on how to use mbux ,but just in case I need more information I just watch your videos.
Awesome thank you! 🙏 glad you find it useful! 😎
Thank you, learned so much about my car
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Fantastic video Nick - thank you! Having just picked up a new GLC, your video run-through has been invaluable!
Ah awesome! Very nice! Thank you! 🤓
Nick is great. The videos are VERY well done and it is a pleasure watching them. Thanks for such a wonderful job with these videos. We get our GLCs (two of them) next week and our videos are a great help.
Awh thank you! All produced by me, I might do a behind the scenes video one day! 👀
It’ll be a long one! Haha
Oooo very nice!
Nick, Thank you. Very helpful with good tips. So much technology is overwhelming. Glad I found your videos.
Thank you! No worries! I’ll keep em coming!
Just in time Nick. Just picked up a slightly used 2022 C300 with NTG 7. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you! 🙏🙏🤓
Great work Nick... Keep it up. All your videos are very helpful for me, as I recently picked up a C300
Thank you! 🤓🙏
Wow! Thanks, Nick. Great one.
No worries! Thank you!
Hi Nick, thanks for such a detailed video, I'm going to be new to Merc from BMW, I've learned loads that brochures and usual review vids don't show, so this has helped massively!
Ah awesome thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! I’ll keep them coming where I can!
A fabulous presentation Nick. Thanks.
Thank you! 🙏🙏
WOW!
… Thank you so much for an extremely professional tutorial and video on the C43,Ordered mine is the U.S. back in January and awaiting the arrival 🙏… anyway I have to watch your😂 video another 100 times, as there is so much information and I was a-bit worried with the mbux experience, Thank You again, Awesome job!!!
Thank you! 🤓👍🏼🤓
Thanks for the great video! Great job! Thanks Nick!
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it!
Very informative video! Great job! Picking up our 2023 GLC300 SUV today. Will definitely use this video and your related videos to educate ourselves. Thank you!
Thank you! 🤓🙏🤓
Great overview. Thanks a lot.
Great work Nick, simple and easy to understand you have a new subscriber.
Thank you very much! 🤓🤓🤓
Thanks Nick!!!
Great Video!!!!! Thanks Nick!
Thank you! 🤓👍🏼
Thanks for this very informative video. I just bought the fully loaded glc3002024 4matic late November 2023. I'll be using this video to educate myself more on my new baby.
Ah very nice! Glad you enjoy the video!
Good as always Nick thanks😊
Thanks for watching! 🤓
Amazing work Nick. Your videos are very informative.
Thank you! Got some more Mercedes videos coming soon! 😎
Thanks Nick, incredibly useful!
Thank you! 🙏
Awesome video like always. Yes for a review of the new dash cam. I'm getting a 2024 C300 and I'm learning a lot from your videos 😄
Thank you! 🤓🙏🤓
Very well done !!
Thank you! 🤓🙏
Great video!
Thank you! 🤓🙏 glad you enjoyed it!
Very useful, thank you !
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you SO much for your awesome content! I am picking up a brand new C300 this afternoon, and this is so helpful for me to get a head start!
Ah amazing! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Oooo very nice! 👌🏼
Thank you! Picked it up a few hours ago and used your videos to set everything up, thank you so much, I love it! I just have one question, on this model car, I cannot figure out how to get the MPH readout in between the two dials and in the middle of the cluster. I put the steering wheel down as far as it goes, and it is obstructing the mph dial on the left as well as the mph readout that is located on the top/center. I’d like it center/center, I hope this makes sense? It’s driving me crazy! Thx!
Ah awesome!
I think it depends on the model, for example on mine I can’t put a “big speed” in the middle, but if you swipe up / down, you’ll be able to see exactly what’s available
Thank you Nick! I believe I am in the same boat, I’ve clicked thru all the options, thank you for getting back to me!!
No worries!
Hi @nick. Great video….
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🙏
Hi Nick,
The online music function works great. I connected my Apple Music account.
Ah awesome! I want to try it out soon!
Thanks for letting me know! 🤓
@@npoleary only a pleasure mate. Keep up the good work. It really helps allot 😁
Thank you for this wonderfully informative and well done tutorial. I’ve just purchased a 2024 GLC, ( here in USA) and subscribed to your channel as a great resource. Just wondered if you knew whether the coolant temperature indicator could be added to the classic theme center screen instead of switching to service display to see it. It’s handy to know when the engine is up to temperature as I live in seasonally cold climate. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Sadly no, I’ve got the same instrument cluster in my car and the only way to view it is to go to the service menu.
Hello Nick. Love your videos. Very informative. Can you please do a walk through of the A250 AMG models 2016 and beyond. Thanks in advance.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Really sorry I only started my channel in 2020 so haven’t got access to cars other than my own, my local Mercedes or at Mercedes Press Office. I have the Sat Nav’s covered if I recall, depends if you have Garmin Map Pilot or COMAND
Great in depth video. Few Quick questions = where does the sat nav get its satellite connection from ie: hotspot data from your phone?
Thank you! All Mercedes get their GPS positioning from satellites 🤓
For the maps, depending on the car, they’ll either be on an SD card, or hard drive built into the car. Most new cars have an E-sim built into it too for data for maps updates etc
37:46 “I’ll just play with myself for a minute” (blind people will be flabbergasted 🤯)
Really amazing video, thank you so much!!! I am just wondering about the ‘Time of warning’ setting under the ‘Parking’ menu. I have ‘side warning’ and ‘Front’ but there is no section on ‘Rear’ warning. Does this mean that time of warning for the rear cannot be adjusted or could it be found somewhere else? Thank you!
The time of warning for the rear is always early thankfully! 🤓 so no you can’t change it from that
Hi Nick again thanks for your work 👍👍
You can hide the squares right above the climate control by sliding it down, if you want a lager view.
And dit you know that you can get ski report in the weather app, if you put a ski area 😊
Great vids Nick. Couple of quick questions on NTG7 on a new A200 with the landscape screens: can you turn off the greeting when you switch on please, and having changed the position of an item it won't retain it. keeps going back to default. Thanks
Yes you can! I’ve switched mine off 🤓
It’s in System Settings and under Audio if I recall, it was called greeting tone or something.
Hmmm that doesn’t sound quite right have you spoken to Mercedes about that last one?
Hey Nick,
Thanks a ton for covering the infotainment pretty deep , Can you do one for the digital head lights as well please ?
Thank you! I’m working on it! Trying to gain access to a car at Mercedes so I can do it!
Apologies been such a long time, but Digital Light video coming soon over the next couple of weeks! I haven't forgotten! 👊🏼
Sneak Peak: It's incredible!
@@npoleary Thanks buddy! Looking forward to it
Thanks for another great video Nick. I have a question about the ambient lightning on the new GLC 300 Suv. The air vents don’t get illuminated and I don’t see the accent option in the MBUX light section. Is there more than one lighting package for this model or is it maybe a technical problem that needs to be serviced? Thanks in advance for your advice.
No sadly as far as I’ve seen, it’s just Mercedes compact cars that have ambient light in the vents. More subtle approach on some higher end models from what I’ve seen 🤓
Great and very useful video. On my 2023 Mercedes C Class I set the navigation to the traditional style but have 1 query. On saving all my destinations to favorites I want to move them around into alphabetical order but cannot fathom how to achieve this. Any suggestions.
Thank you! I believe you can hold your finger on an icon to change it. Then select move or rename 🤓
Great video👍🏻
Is there a way to change music tracks from the steering wheel? Or fast forward/rewind podcasts for example. I can’t find a dedicated button for that.
When I use navigation for example there is no button on the steering wheel that does music track change. So strange
Thank you!
I made a video about that on my channel: ruclips.net/video/maLBpVNBpjM/видео.htmlsi=jTxFZi76g1R-k-WW
Excellent video thank you. I picked up an EQE AMG yesterday. How do I switch between media subtypes eg Spotify and Audible through MBUX without picking up my phone? Thanks.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Usually it’s best to use Apple CarPlay / Android Auto for functions like that but I have heard of a Mercedes Entertainment thing where it’s built into MBUX that I would like to cover soon on my channel!
Nick, great video as ever. Just got a new GLC, connected a new USB C card reader, and it's not registered on the car?
Sadly I read in the manual USB hubs aren’t compatible with Mercedes multimedia systems
:( so don’t believe they’ll be a workaround
What were you trying to plug in?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video! I just picked up an EQE SUV, where is the setting to remove Mercedes’ response “how can I help you?”
Thank you! There isn’t a setting for that, but if you say “Hey Mercedes” then immediately say your command, it’ll skip it.
Or you could use the button on the steering wheel which would skip it anyway
Hi Nick. Another excellent video among all your others. Is there a way to add “Personal POI’s” to the satnav, in particular speed and red light cameras? I watched your NTG6 video (very helpful) where you explained how to add them via a USB stick and wondered if that was possible with NTG7. They worked perfectly in Australia on my old A35 but I now have a new A45S with the new MBUX. Cheers mate
Thank you! Yes it’ll work exactly the same way, the Personal POI menu is just in a different place 🤓
It’s top left of the Navi screen and then into settings in there
@@npoleary Thanks mate, you’re a champion. As soon as I plugged the USB in with the SCDB files, it worked.
For what it’s worth, many people on the Australian pages I follow on Facebook regularly refer to your RUclips videos when they post questions about their Merc’s because they’re excellent. Cheers mate!
@iana9382 ah awesome! Thank you! 🤓🙏
I just bought the 2024 AMG GLS 63 and WOW - what a great car. But my screen doesn't look like this - I have the wide version. Is there possibly an updated walk-through for the 2024 version?
Awesome!
I could add it to the list of potential future videos! I’ll have to swing in to my local dealer and film one again but on that screen instead🤓
Hey bro your videos are really very helpful. I recently purchased a new GLC and so it comes with the latest MBUX system so while setting up my profile I have done both fingerprint and voice recognition, but every time I sit inside my car always it asks for fingerprint. What do I have to do to select my profile using voice recognition feature? And moreover the easy entry and exit feature is on but the seats don’t move while entering the car…it only moves a tad bit backwards while stepping out. So it would be very helpful if you would clarify these. Thank you.
Thank you!
I’m sure the voice thing is easier to use if you’re swapping drivers. Reason I say that is because MBUX takes a little while to load up when you turn it on in the morning, which also includes the Hey Mercedes voice assistant which you’d need to use. So it’s probably quicker to just have the pin off (if you’re just using the car yourself and not sharing with others).
For easy / entry and exit, that can happen in any car, depends how it’s configured so not sure if it’s changed since I last produced some tips and tricks on it. In Mercedes cars basically and in a nutshell it only works in certain seating positions.
Sadly for me being 6ft 2” it won’t work for me because I’m too tall.
Easy Entry/Exit will only work if you are shorter in height and need the seat to move back further away from the wheel in order to get out.
Hi Nick, nice view! Is there an option for satellite view on the driver cluster screen? if so does it come up like google earth (like the main screen)? thanks
Hey carlmason8033, I believe so I’m sure I’ve seen that on there before!
Hi Nick - Just collected my 10 month old C300d Estate with MBUX7. Great set of videos but still haven’t found any reference to displaying the date on the main driver screen. Any ideas?
Thank you! No sadly not seen any way to view the date on the main driver screen in Mercedes. I know you can set it in settings but not sure where else it appears.
A very interesting and informative video. I did not too badly with my Jaguar I pace and my Mercedes EQC lost 4,000 after 10 months. I am anticipating a big loss when I dispose of my BMW i4 M50 because I paid over list price when I bought it.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
What car are you thinking next?
@@npoleary I was hoping for an electric Mercedes C class size with a 0 to 60 time of around 5 seconds. I have recently traded a six year old A 45 for a 72 plate A35 and my wife has driven it for the first time today and told me she likes it a lot and thinks it is much nicer to drive than the old A45. Do you know where I can get a cable with a C plug to connect my Sony Walkman to the A35. Thanks Alan.
Ah yes I guess the closest thing that Mercedes offer is probably the EQE.
Oh yes well I have adapters that I’ve recommended on my channel, commonly in the description.
amzn.to/3kEchgr
Just bear in mind the only way a Walkman would work is if it can act like a memory stick, otherwise Mercedes multimedia systems won’t recognise. It might be called “Mass Storage” or something
@@npoleary Thank you, I have ordered the cables . The EQE is bigger than what I would prefer and the 53 is more than I want to spend. Alan.
Hi Nick, great videos that will help me when I get my 1st Mercedes. A couple of Qs: Can the EQA 250 have 2 profiles in different languages? Does the NTG software come on new EQA models now in production? My car is due to be delivered in Sept 2023.
Thank you!
I don’t believe so, there’s a system wide option but not individual for the profiles as far as I’ve seen
NTG is the generation of multimedia system so NTG 6 is the latest for the EQA as far as I’ve seen.
Best to speak to Mercedes to keep in the loop though! 🤓
Why is Spotify always put on when i start the car? How can i make radio standard?
Does the car have adaptive high beam assist
Does it have some kind of screensaver mode so it looks less "techy" or even tge option for tge display to be off? With a tap to wake feature perhaps?
No sadly not seen a screensaver before but you can toggle the display off with the power button. This doesn’t turn it completely off, as you can still access A/C controls etc
I recently purchased a 2023 C300 and found your video helpful for a few items, but I was wondering id there a way to change the name on the Navigation system, for example I wish to save a place into favourites, but in a month or two I will not remember the name of the street can I edit the street name to something I can remember, so can I change 16 Hill street to Toms Place?
Many thanks Mike Brisbane Australia
Ah nice! If you head to the favourites menu (the one with the star) you can hold an icon to rename it
Thanks, Nick. i finally managed to get the access protection code turned off, watching the video again, although it took a bit of finding.
My next problem is to do with the tiles you talked about by touching and holding so you can move them, when i select my favourites radio station and move them to the front of the list, when i go back in the car and press the star button on steering wheel they are back at the end of the list, even though i am log my profile.,
Merc43
Oh really? Pretty sure it’s meant to, although I’ve not used or been into the favourites menu for quite some time. So if you’re having issues or you don’t think something’s right, I’d defo suggest chatting with your local Mercedes and they’ll be able to take a look.
@npoleary thanks again. Nick might have to go to the local garage. They might not be too keen as I did not but it from them due to their attitude when I went in to hopefully order from them.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve bought your car from. Mercedes warranty is valid in all Mercedes Showrooms across the UK 👍🏼
Although I did try the favourites thing in my own car just now and it doesn’t save the position. I don’t use it all though so it doesn’t really bother me personally. Maybe they might do a software update in the future or something?
@npoleary thanks again, Nick. Yes, I might just not bother right now. I will just ask Mercedes Me to change the radio stations👍👍👍
@nick does mbux navigation show the lanes while navigating like what google does? Do we need update the map manually on regular basis?
It’ll show you some lane guidance from what I’ve seen when exiting a motorway but I don’t believe it does for town driving.
Maps are updated as long as you have a valid subscription and it’s linked to your Mercedes account
Great Video- How do you reorder your Radio Favorites? Thank you
Hey Mike, can you hold your finger on one of them on the favourites menu. Not sure I tried that actually! 😅
@@npoleary it doesn't seem to work like the last version of mbux. It does seem to reorder them depending on use sometimes.
I actually just found another video that shows how to do it. There is a way to bring up a list view of the stations and you can move and delete them by clicking on the three dots.
Hi Nick. I have a 2023 EQE SUV (US Version). My question is about the commuter routing. On my 2021 GLE450 the commuter route would start and run with out any input. With this EQE it will just ocasionally throw a notice on the middle screen that the "home" route is available but you have to click start to turn on the route. When you do this it announces turns just like a normal route. I prefer the old way where it is silent but does show any delays on the route. Is there setting that I can change to make it behave this way? Thank you!
Sadly I’ve only seen a pre-production EQE SUV so not really had a complete hands on experience with it.
I hope to in the future! It is a different multimedia so it could be different in the newer ones
Is there a possibility to adjust the speed settings of the automatic cruise control? I would like the cruise control to select an extra 3 to 4 km/h extra then the speed on the signs in the road. For example when it's allowed to go 50 I want the cruise control to go to 54.
Well you can just adjust and set the cruise control using the steering wheel controls and it’ll either go up/down in 1’s or 5’s.
If you have the Driving Assistance Package you won’t be able to get it to automatically bump you above the actual speed limit for the road though
I have always wondered how to play video/ netflix on the mbux
Sadly it’s not something officially support by Mercedes (at least it’s not in their brochures)
Some cars can do video playback depending on their equipment but I have answered this my frequently asked question series:
ruclips.net/video/tu_Aktw93v4/видео.htmlsi=0yn78n0gu_Ai5aZK
Might be useful to you! 🤓
How do you keep navigation voice on as you are speaking on the phone through the system? I've noticed navigation stops giving voice directions when connected on the phone call.
There’s a setting called Driving Recommendations during phone call, what multimedia system do you have? Or what year and model of Mercedes?
Nick just gone from a 2021 GLE 400d W167 to a X254 GLC300 Ntg7...how / can you change radio station using the steering wheel touch pad like I could on the W167 GLE??
If you swipe up/down on the instrument cluster you can get to the part where it shows you the music information. From here swipe left/right to change track
Hi Nick, you said we can 'hotspot off our phone'. I want to get some clarification on that. Does that mean I do not need to get the data package offered by T-Mobile in the states? I can use my phone as a hotspot and have the car join the hotspot?
Yes that’s right but bear in mind I only have access to cars in the UK. Specs vary massively round the world so it will vary.
I’ve found it in Settings and then SYSTEM and Internet and Connectivity 🤓
Nick as i will have a GLC 300e do you do Charging points everywhere ?
Hey Mac there are quite a few charging points in the UK. Check out the UK’s full list by downloading an App called Zap Map:

Good morning, quick question: how long does Mercedes update their systems? I have a MB from 2020 Class A and I wonder if it is possible for the latest MBUX 2.4 update to be supported by my version? does Mercedes do the same thing as, for example, Apple, by disabling its systems from updating, which is combined with an "encouragement" to buy a newer version of the car?
So Mercedes provide updates for a number of years (although they don’t disclose the number as far as I know). These are probably going to be security and/or bug fixes.
Sat Nav updates are provided via a subscription on the Mercedes me store (usually free for 3 years from new, chargeable after that). This does vary round the world so chat to Mercedes themselves for exact specifics.
Then comes the generations of MBUX 👍🏼
MBUX NTG 6 (Gen 1)
MBUX NTG 7 (Gen 2)
MBUX NTG 7.5 / MBUX NTG 8 (Gen 3)
These are not software updates, they have new hardware because they’re installed on a new models with new features so software updates wouldn’t work in that scenario.
There’s no disabling, they’re physically new cars with new multimedia systems.
Hope that helps!
@@npoleary yes that’s make sense. Thanks 😃
Hi Nick, I've just purchased a new GLE53 AMG. I was surprised it doesn’t have augmented reality. My previous car was a GLE450, and it did. Is there any reason for this?
Hey Remo, it depends on the specification so if you chat with Mercedes, they’ll let you know.
I haven’t seen Augmented Reality on cars that I’ve reviewed for a couple of years now though. There are a couple that still do have it but they’re on S-Class etc.
Thanks Nick this is very useful. A couple of questions if I may?
1. In my profile I set the dynamic to Eco, but when I start the engine this reverts to comfort although Eco is still selected. I have selected the ask button which is ok as when I switch the engine on it asks if I want to drive in the same mode as last journey. I understand that this can be changed from the touch bar but is there a way that I can get it to follow the choice in my profile setting to save having to change it every time?
2. The elements in the driver display appear very limited compared to my previous GLC. I could select to change any of the three areas but I can’t seam to do this. I appear to only be able to change the centre display as I can’t seam to access either the right or left elements to chant the display. I am sure it must be possible but I can’t find it?
Many thanks again.
Hey Steve, thank you!
No sadly Comfort is how cars always start, you can change this afterward though as you said but they’ll always start in their default mode.
For the displays, that’s because they’re completely different:
ruclips.net/video/Ft318ejsnu0/видео.html
I covered that in this video to let everyone know there is a difference between them. The new GLC has pre-set themes.
@@npoleary thank Nick.. it’s a shame I loved being able to change all three colom
Whoops… it’s a shame I enjoyed being able to change each of the three columns and also the large digital speed. Let’s hope it all returns in the next update.
Hi Nick, I’ve got the new C Class but don’t have Zero Layer? Any ideas how I could enable it please?
If you hold the home button in the middle of the screen you can toggle between the two 🤓
Hi Nick,
Can you backup settings in NTG7 ? Can you import from NTG6 ?
No sadly not, I’ve not seen this on the new generation multimedia system. It’s definitely not on my A-Class in the menus.
1.18 goddamnit !!
Hi Nick, I was wondering is there a shortcut button on the steering wheel that I can quickly switch between "radio" and "media" and see it on the front screen? The only way I can do at this time is to use the steering wheel controls to control the main center screen. I'm new to Mercedes Benz, been driving BMWs for almost 20 years, BMW steering wheel has a "mode" button that can quickly switch between different media source. Thanks!
No sadly not, it’s all controlled on the centre screen from what I’ve seen
@@npoleary Thanks, Nick!
No worries! 🤓
Hi Nick got a MBUX NTG7 and couldn’t find other POI,s menu to add the speed camera software that is in the usb stick, could you tell me where it is on this platform?
It’s on the Navi screen under Navi settings but it’s different depending on which car you have when I been in Mercedes cars.
Usually around
HOME

SETTINGS

POI SYMBOLS ON MAP
Not all cars can do Personal Poi’s from what I’ve heard so double the compatibility on the SCDB website 🤓
I’m loving my new A200 which I’ve had about 3 weeks now. Just one niggle with ntg7. I’ve added the dashcam as a favourite and I reorder the list so dashcam is first and confirm the new position. But the position isn’t being retained & next time I return to the car the order has reset to default. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
I would have thought favourites would retain the list but have you not got the dashcam symbol on the top left? Got a video coming soon on the dashcam, it’s faster to start it this way.
With the favourites though, a few other people have asked me about that but sadly I don’t know. Best thing if you don’t think something’s right, just get in touch with Mercedes and I’m sure they’ll be able to help!
@@npoleary Thanks for the reply Nick. Yes I can start the dashcam from the icon on the screen but my preference would be to start it from the steering wheel rather than touching the screen. Luckily I have the interior assistant on my car & I’ve realised I can set it to start with the gesture control. That works well for me.
Ah nice that’s a good idea!
Hi, you said the 2023 A Class has NTG7 but no mention of this is made in the brochures, and even when I contacted MB UK they couldn't give me an answer, so what is the actual position?
Hey Harrod Stokes, yes I can confirm NTG 7 is on the new A-Class 2023.

Thanks Nick. Is it possible to play an iPod(mp3)player using the USB-C dongle. I get a message that device is not supported.
Hey Jim, no sadly iPods are not made by Apple anymore and as such the software to use them isn’t available anymore.
To playback music in a car you’ll have to use a memory stick with files on or use a smartphone.
Here’s all the ways you can play music: ruclips.net/video/YxHJZbGDIvI/видео.html
I have order it a C Class 300 4MATIC 2023..Im waiting..I will have the same settings on my MBUX ? Or not cause it's the different car ? If i have the same i want watch this video soo i can learn about MBUX. Thanks!
If you’ve ordered a new C-Class then yeah it will defo have the latest generation of MBUX 🤓
hey i need help
why my fan lights its not working in my mercedes c class 2024 ? do you have any idea please
Sadly not all Mercedes have ambient lighting in the vents, I believe it’s just A-Class, B-Class, CLA & GLA.
This might be different round the world though so if you think that something isn’t right get in contact with your local Mercedes, they’ll be able to help! 🤓
Hi Nick, apologies for the off topics. I’m still waiting for my vehicle which since December 2022, is recorded in the Mercedes database as “ready for distribution”. Based on your expertise, do you might have an explanation? Thanks, and regards from Italy.
Hey AnikiF, really sorry you’ll have to speak with Mercedes for updates on orders. I only produce reviews and tutorials on my channel and only have access to cars at my local Mercedes.
They should be keeping you on the loop though!
@@npoleary Hey Nick, i was just guessing you could have any info. I’m talking to them on a weekly basis, but I get the same answer. Couldn’t believe that MB logistics is so weak… Anyway It’s ok, thanks for your time and your kindness, and your interesting videos!
Nick, another good video as usual, but you seem to always show sat nav videos on cars top of the range which have the best features, but in my case, i can't afford these models.
I have just taken delivery of a new 2023 GLA 200 sport which I am thoroughly enjoying, so I could do with a video of my sat nav as i am having problems setting favourites in the sat nav plus a few other settings within the sat nav.

Hey bowman, thank you! Well I’ve tried to produce all the Sat nav’s systems that Mercedes have

Do you have a touchpad in the middle? If so it’ll be MBUX Gen 1
Hi Nick, how do you change station in background for NTG 7. Thanks!
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen 🤓 then you can change tracks
Or Say “next track”
@@npoleary Thanks, Nick! It works when I say "next rack" but swipe up from bottom of the screen doesn't seem to work, the only way I can do is to use the "last track" or "next track" icon next to the "home" icon.
@jeffreychen5241 oh right if you have a model with the portrait screen there’s already a next track button there so you can’t swipe up in addition to the buttons that’s already there
Saying “Next Track” is by far the easiest! 🤓
Hi Nick, I was wondering why I can't control the ventilation speed on the passenger side for my glc, like the wheel is spit into 2 instead of 4 now...
Not sure what you mean, so if it's a new GLC 2023, then it's all controlled on the bottom of the screen.
If the fan speed can be adjusted for both sides then they'll be fan on both sides, if the fan can only do one side then it'll just have fan for one.
@@npoleary Yes, so like in the video you have control for fan speed on both sides, but I'm missing the control keys for the passenger side. Is that normal?
It depends on the specification of the car, there are options for more climate control buttons and controls. In some cars that I’ve reviewed, they have 4 zone climate control with fan speed adjustment for 4 passengers. Some cars will just have one fan speed adjustment and dual temp, just depends what you opted for 🤓
The voice in my Mbux 7 Sat Navi in my new c300e cannot be turned down very much, it turns itself up again
If you adjust the volume, when the pop up appears showing you the level, just tap the settings icon next to it and you can adjust all of the volume parts that Mercedes systems make.
Hello Nick et al, I have been struggling with Automatic Volume adjustment on NTG 7 MBUX with Burmeister in my 2023 GLC. (standard stereo system does have this option) There is no way to turn it off as the menu option simply does not exist. Local dealer could not help me at all and just confirmed the fact that other C class cars in the shop had the same issue. Is there a chance anyone has heard about a way of disabling the auto volume? Thank you.
Hey Sergii, I’ve not seen an option for this
I presume it’s something that is always enabled and cannot be switched off.
I’m guessing this is a feature to help with the speed of the car? So the faster you go, the more the volume increases etc
@@npoleary hello Nick. Thanks for replying. I have searched everywhere and yes, I believe it cannot be changed. But the experience is not really great, as the volume changes quite aggressively rather than smoothly. Will continue chasing my local dealer to follow up on the ticket that we have opened within Mercedes support.
Hii, I have a problem on a 23 s400d where the automatic mirror fold-in keep turning off, even tho I turn it on, every time when I start the car it turns off. I don't have mercedes me profile set up cause im the only driver
Ah you need the car linked to your account otherwise you’ll be signing into the guest profile all the time so it might not be remembering your settings. Guest profiles are normally just for temporary use.
Is there a way to add traffic light, i had it on my other GLE but it doesnt seem to be on my GLE coupe
It depends if the car has Augmented Reality I believe. If you have it then it’ll be listed on the menus 🤓
@@npoleary thank you, I have Augmented Reality so I think I will need to call the dealership
Do you have any videos or info on the rear screens on an s580 executive. Lol the tablet won't connect. And I can't get any apps up like you tube for my kids to watch. No idea how to use all this stuff.
No sadly not I’ve not seen the rear screens on an S-Class it wasn’t on the car I managed to review some time ago. Plus I’m not sure it’s available for the UK.
I have seen the rear tablet though, it’s basically a remote control for vehicle functions in the rear. I don’t believe you can watch RUclips on it though, it’s just a tablet for vehicle functions as far as I recall.
@@npoleary Thank you yea I figured the tablet itself couldn't play youtube and such but I can't get the screens to link up like I've seen in some benz videos. It's hard to find much info on them it's not a common option. I bought this used and it happened to have all this stuff. Otherwise would've never optioned it in. Got a great deal on it so figured it'd be cool to have.
The tablet itself won't connect to the mbux system. It keeps trying. The tablet was still brand new sealed in the trunk when I got it.
Ah okay, I seem to remember that if you have it in the cradle, performing a multimedia system reset would reset the paring to it as well 🤓
@@npoleary after a long drive this am and me messing with it the tablet has now linked up. Trying to figure out the real purpose of having the screens lol as they just mirror the tablet. Those back seats tho been sitting in them messing with it are so comfortable. I have a 7 and 5 year old when I finally get the courage to let them ride in it they certainly have nothing to complain about.
Thanks for you videos btw I watched the whole 1hr mbux video you did. Learned a lot.
Just wanted to clarify since I have a 2024 GLS450 on order in the states - but is the refreshed MBUX in the 2024 NTG 7 with the smaller screen, or is it still considered NTG 6?
Nah if it’s the new GLS I’d imagine it’ll be NTG 7. I’ve got NTG 7 in my A-Class which has a similar landscape screen 🤓
@@npoleary Thank You! MBUSA doesn’t do the greatest job sharing technical information. Your videos are excellent!
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Hi Nick. Is there a way to turn off the radio so it doesn't come on when you start the car and the screen stays blank? TIA.
Only if you turn the screen off before leaving the car, it’ll resume basically where you left off (same volume and last menu etc)
You're a star! @@npoleary
Hi Nick. Again on wife's brand new A200, something doesn't quite add up. Not sure if this car has MBUX 6 or 7 but manual, and I think perhaps one of your videos mentions that to get driver's door only unlock on single remote 'unlock' press one needs to press lock + unlock together for about 6 seconds until red LED flashes. Alas this definitely does not work - tried it numerous times without success. To me the stated process seems too close to that for disarming the keyless go feature - which incidentally does work. Any ideas?
Hi edwardtucker9785,
Sorry RUclips had for some reason put your comment as spam so I hadn't seen it! Defo don't think it is!
Have you seen my key tips and tricks video? I t shows both ways on how to do it, the new way and the previous way: ruclips.net/video/mCL6Ifs77RM/видео.html
Hi Again Nick,
Yes I did see your video and as our car is only a week old I assumed that the 'new way' was the one. This, I believe, is the method described in the owners manual. I've tried this numerous times and it does not work. As mentioned we always lock the car using the Keyless Go Disable technique which is not that dissimilar. I've also tried the old way for 'driver's door only unlock' as described in numerous RUclips posts. This also does not work. I've reported this to the selling dealer (Sandown Basingstoke) but have had no effective reply. Surprising as they have latest A200's in the showroom and probably all they need to do is use one of these to prove / disprove what i'm saying and find the solution as this must be a popular personal security option especially with female drivers.@@npoleary
Yes it’ll be the new way if it’s a new car 🤓
Just press and hold lock and very quickly double press unlock. It should work
Thanks Nick but alas this merely disarms Keyless Go on our car - a feature that we like but it does not give us Drivers Door Only on a single unlock. The timing of these button presses may hold the answer but we're unable to get this to work after multiple goes. Almost as if Keyless Go Disable is conflicted with drivers door only unlock - which we have got once by mistake when doing the Keyless Go routine. The latter is usually no problem and there's two ways to get this on our car (either hold lock and unlock together then quickly press unlock again OR hold lock then press unlock twice quickly while still holding lock). We wanted to be able to use both features together but now thinking about giving up ourselves and asking our local Mercedes service centre. As a complete aside the windscreen wiper 'service park' facility is also very fuzzy about button press timing.@@npoleary
Ah to do the driver’s door only unlock
Just hold Unlock and lock together for about 6 seconds until the indicator lamp flashes twice 🤓
Just bear in mind if you have KEYLESS-GO so this being Keyless entry, when you test this you MUST move the key away.
For example with driver’s door only unlock enabled, placing your hand for the second time behind the rear passenger door will unlock it. So either test it with two people either side of the car with one key or move the key away after unlocking the first door. Hope that makes sense!
Hi Nick, another question I have is when the car is parked while engine is still running. The odometer shows a warning " Vehicle ready to drive Shut down occurs when locked or automatically in certain minutes". Any way to disable this?
Yeah on the multimedia system just tap the message that appears at the top of the central screen and it’ll stay on instead of turning off
@@npoleary Thanks! I’ll try that when I see the message next time
I am getting an EQB next month on lease but from a different company, can I still go to mercedes and set this up for my profile or not? Many thanks.
Yeah it doesn’t matter where you bought your car from, take it to any dealer.
Just take your V5 and proof of ID in and they’ll link it to your account.
In the case of leasing you may not have a V5 so just take some form of proof of ownership in, email confirmation of the car, delivery note or something that proves you are the end user of the car.
@@npoleary Thank you Nick, I'll make sure to take all paperwork and ID with me to the dealership. 🙌🏻
Need help please, can't seem to find way to change temperature on 2024 mercedes CLA from farenheit to celsius
You can’t sadly, I’ve not seen a way to change that.
However when I’ve been to the USA before, I have seen the units in Fahrenheit there so I guess it must be set at factory or something.
@npoleary you would think that, but my last four cars 2010-2019 audi and mercedes I could convert all units km, 24hrs and temperature, a bit odd for a 2024 maybe they will allow it on an update , thank you for the reply.
Is there a way of getting an Ipod Classic working on it? Because I always get Device is not compatible
No sadly not Apple discontinued iPod a very long time ago so car manufacturers literally don’t have the software for the new multimedia systems. Best thing to do, as it’s synced with iTunes or Apple Music, as the music is on your laptop, buy a memory stick of the same capacity and copy the songs over. It should retain most of the metadata so will be organised mostly the same in the car 🤓
@@npoleary I was afraid that was going to be the answer. I'll try the memory stick solution. Thank you very much for your response
I have just taken delivery of a new GLA 200 and I cannot add a destination to the top level favourites menu (By holding down the '*') I can add destinations to the favourites list in the Sat Nav app. Is this a bug, user error or reduction in functionality for MBUX 7? Your videos seem to suggest it should be possible
If it’s a new car it has a slightly different multimedia system so should be similar to my one.
Basically when you connect a phone via Bluetooth it now syncs your favourites from your phone. So if you change them on your phone it’ll change them on the car too.
Favourites for the phone are under
HOME
PHONE
And you should see them listed there. Pretty sure it syncs the contact pictures too!
@@npoleary Thanks for replying. I didn't imagine I would need to look in phone functions. Sigh this is convoluted I'll have a look.
@honeytoffy no worries
Mercedes new systems just copy more things across now
You might have watched one of the videos I made a few years ago which is where you can save contacts in favourites on an older system.
I haven’t tried to see if you can do it the way that you’ve seen, I’ll have a look in my car when I’m next in it and reply back 🤓
So, I've raised a support ticket with MB UK. They responded with instructions on how to add favourites in the navigation menu. I have responded asking about the top level menu. I suspect the answer is going to be that they have dropped the capability of adding destinations to the top level favourites. Seems an odd evolution, but hey I'll survive
Hey Nick, I wanted to ask you something. In my 2019 model mercedes, when I hold down the lock button in the driver seat door, it makes a beep. But when you try it again it won't beep, because you have to hold down the unlock button for it to make a beep. Can you please tell me what this option is for?
Hey Karin, Not sure on that one. This will vary round the world though, where abouts are you based?
@@npoleary I'm in Egypt, and by the way there are a lot of options removed here so as to reduce the price, which may mean that there could be a pop up on the screen for example. But please tell me what the option is for.
Ah okay, spec varies massively round the world so it might not be on cars there. Chat with Mercedes and they can let you know 🤓
Hey Nick, Im assuming they no longer have the recommended and theme setting like on the 6?
Suggestions for radio stations not recommended
No not seen that on the new version, it’s certainly not on my own car. There’s a few things that I think Mercedes removed but then a few things also added and improved too.
@@npoleary thank you. I always feel like I'm talking to a celebrity😆😆😆
No worries! Haha 🙃 not sure about that! 😅
Got an eqe suv Friday. There are a couple weird things. Text messages by default are linked to notification center. This plays a very loud alert that can't find volume control of. Toggling off the 'add to notification center" setting is not remembered across drives. Any ideas?
Most settings from what I’ve seen when reviewing Mercedes don’t copy across drivers, each driver has their own settings
Sadly not seen an EQE SUV properly yet, I had a glimpse of one at the start of the year but not had hands on one yet.
@@npoleary yeah Ive got my profile active through out. So what I meant was, toggle off *add to notification center", turn car off then on, will be renabled. So it doesn't stick to the profile.
Oh I see, I haven’t seen a setting for that but there again sadly not seen an EQE SUV apart from a glimpse at the start of the year. I’m pretty sure that’s just how text messages appear in Mercedes multimedia systems as that’s how it does it in mine
@@npoleary hmm.. so can't lower the volume and disabling the text messages from notification center is only temporary. That is a lot of settings available in the gear/settings of notification center for it to be that "useless" haha. Work around so far is disable text messages over Bluetooth, but allow Android Auto. That changes the "new message" alert to be much more pleasant/quieter. Just means I'm always stuck running AA
Ah I see that’ll do it, iPhones are a little different but sounds like you managed to do it! Thanks for sharing!
Nick, I have one question and hope you know the answer. I use an Android phone with two Sim in it, usually when I want to make a call, I need to select which SIM card to use. The problem is with the car phone system, i cannot select the SIM, the only way is to start android auto and then from there to select the SIM. Do you know how I can do it on the actual phone interface of the car?
Hey, I doubt it to be honest. I’ve not seen a way on any car to change what SIM you’re making a call from. Good idea though but I’d imagine it’s more internal phone stuff. Cars usually only do Bluetooth (which does calls, phonebook, texts)
I didn’t realise actually that Android Auto did it, that’s cool! I wonder if Apple CarPlay does it?
@@npoleary i hope one day, as it's quite dangerous to switch over to Android Auto to just make a call because of selecting a SIM.
Thanks for the reply though 👍
Can we get rid of the pin when we select the user?
Yeah load the profile up, tap on the profile selector and then in one of the menus I think called settings, turn off the pin protection there
Does the car have active lane change assist
It depends on the car’s spec
Most of the time it’ll be on cars that have driving assistance package but you’ll have to check the one you’re looking at
