Hey everyone, for those asking about the eject from sunroof command on MBUX. This is genuinely real! However it is only found on the portrait styled version of MBUX (MBUX v2 / NTG 7 currently found in C-Class, EQE, EQS & soon to be the new SL and new GLC next year).
Hi Nick, you never said HOW to set the Speed Limiter, this would be really really useful for preventing speeding tickets in 30 zones, for going 1 MILE OVER!!!!!!
Hey Steven, already produced a video on that over a year ago. I had a link with a pop out banner to go to that video: ruclips.net/video/9EYSOX7hJh0/видео.html Hope that helps! 🤓
@@npoleary Thanks Nick, keep up the great work, excellent videos matey, looking forward to getting my A200 AMG Premium, it's built last July, just waiting for Chips!!!

I am so very happy to have discovered your fantastic tutorials on MBZ! The manual is daunting to say the least, and puts one to sleep. My 2016 350 wagon was ready to begin eating money, after around 80,000 miles. We walked into a dealership to see how long it takes to order a new wagon. We’d heard up to a year. Sitting on the lot was a fully loaded cardinal red 450 wagon. It was “used” with 100 miles on it! A guy bought it for his wife but she didn’t like it. What fantastic news for us! A CPO certified car that was such a deal! We traded in the older cardinal red car on the spot. Poor new car has had to sit outside in the first and biggest snowstorm of the season. We’re in the midst of moving to a new home so the garage is full. Thanks for your great help with tutorials. I will be viewing them over and over until they are fully ingrained in my brain. I think there were features on my previous car that never got used,
Thanks for the video. Another thing I learned from this is that I don't need to keep the start button pressed until I hear the engine come on. Apparently I can just quickly press it and wait (with foot on break). Going to test that tomorrow.
Yeah, Nick! You've fulfilled a number of roles I think M-B ought to have done considering the price of the cars. Your info about owning an M-B is invaluable. I wish you'd published this video 24 hours earlier. I'm in my 4th week with my EQA in Tokyo. I pulled into work yesterday morning and got out of the car to open the gate to the garage. No problem. Back into the car and try to shift into drive and .... nothing .... then some message about "emergency" and "key" > check the owner's manual. WHAT?! I'm blocking the sidewalk AND the drive to the parking garage. DO WE REALLY NEED TO DO THIS NOW?!!!! Your tip about a dead battery in the key fob is EXACTLY what I needed to get the car running again.
Ah awesome thank you! Glad you’re loving the videos! Oh no, hope you got it going! There’s been loads of rumours floating around regarding the key symbol so thought I’d put it to the test and let everyone know!

Hi Nick, did a search on how to change MB keyfob battery on YT and came across your video/channel. Managed to get the cover off no problem but at a glance, thought, oh, ok, I need a hex tool to remove the next level of gubbins to get to the battery, nope, much easier than that thanks to your video, really appreciate it, liked n subbed.
Awh thank you! Glad you managed to do it! And thanks for subscribing, I have a tonne of Mercedes content on my channel but also review other manufacturers too such as Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW and more coming soon!
Hi Nick, love your reviews. Just one clarification: on 7:50 you say: iPhones could be a little bit funny with contacts. It's quite the opposite, they are very serious when it comes to protecting your data. When you don't allow the sync of the contacts in the initial pairing, then the iPhone will not allow it from then on to protect your data. Thank you for showing how to work around that if you didn't allow it by accident and you are indeed ok with sharing your contacts with this car.
Hey cesstra, thank you! Sorry that’s not what I meant at all. Sorry if you took it the wrong way. When connecting Bluetooth, on the odd occasion the contacts pop up never appears which is a bug either on the phone side or car side. So you have unpair and disconnect the whole thing and start again. Absolutely, Apple are at the forefront of privacy and data is seriously encrypted on all devices. Just annoying from time to time that the Allow Contacts pop doesn’t appear.
Great video Nick. Big fan! Have you considered doing a video about all the features on MBUX store and how to buy and install. Please that will be great. Thanks again for a great video.
Thank you! I sure have! Be sure to check out the full list of videos on my channel! There’s loads and more content every week! 🤓🙏 That one is here from last month: ruclips.net/video/if15_Gj4ODM/видео.html And this one from a year ago: ruclips.net/video/3h9OAjeYA40/видео.html
Thank you Nick as always very informative and thank you again for always driving us to Delight :-) fun fact Lewis Hamilton grandparents are from my beautiful island of Grenada West Indies:-) your friend at Mercedes-Benz of Wesley Chapel Florida:-)
If you turn on the limiter you can actually still override the max speed if you put the pedal completely to the floor. It's usually in emergency situation where speeding up a safer course of action than breaking like on highways for example
Thanks for the tips Nick, very useful as ever. I'm glad you used that particular model because it allows me to comment on my pet hate for Mercedes interiors. Why oh why do they insist on using that awful false woodgrain effect? Personal taste I know, but I think it's incredibly tacky. It's actually stopped me from considering certain models as it's as tasteful as flocked wallpaper; especially on high end models.
I had the glk but I bought new one GLB IN RED COLOR. I like talking to mercades also love the change of colors inside my suv. Backing out in reverse the camera popping out is so helpful & when changing lane the car lets me know if theres car close by . Love it ❤
thank you for the videos Nick o'leary please I have a glb 2022 it does not stop ringing when I cross the 160km / h so I understand more how to deactivate this sound system thank you very much
Thank you! Ah you might have winter tyre limit or something? I’ve not gone that fast before so not too sure 😅 But have a look in HOME, SETTINGS, VEHICLE, Winter Tyres, make sure this is off (if you don’t have winter tyres on)
Another good one especially the key one. Don’t agree with radio auto starting. If you turn off the car with the radio on. It will play on re starting the car. If before you turn off the car press in the volume on the steering wheel or centre console. Which turns off the radio or media. When you start the car again the radio will not play.
Hi Nick brilliant video! What exact model of vehicle are you featuring in this video please. And spec please? Looking for my next upgrade and I love this!
@@npoleary thank you, on my Mercedes I don’t have that option, until you look at the apps on the touchscreen-Is this how you would engage off-road mode?? Thank you again..
No it’s just Dynamic Select *IF* the car has it. Depends if you chose I think an off road option at factory or if it’s available where you live / where you’re based (sorry hard to tell where everyone lives in comments on RUclips!)
Omg! Nick,,, What timing.. I was in the service department at Mercedes to have them check out my navigation system.. Something is wrong. It shows no navigation 3rd time now with an X through it. It works when it wants to. They did not find anything wrong and have to do more research I have to bring it back on the 14th and leave it there.. Not too happy right now with this. But it is working again, so who knows.... Nice Video as always...
I came on here a bit late. I loved that you put Lewis Hamilton lurking at you in the beginning lol 🤣. Thanks so much for the trick on a dead key. I do have a question on using bluetooth. I just wirelessly paired my phone to my Mercedes C300 2019 model, but it won't show what on my iphone. I really need to see the map on my iphone 14 pro max. How to make it show? Thank you so much in advance.
Haha my local Mercedes dealer was a bit unsure of that at first…I said trust me…it’ll be funny 🤣 No worries! 🤓 Oh is this for using Apple CarPlay? You’ll need to plug it in for that (as long as it’s compatible). If it is Apple CarPlay (the one to use Apple Maps or Google Maps from your phone) follow this guide I made: ruclips.net/video/xxUa6r893G0/видео.htmlsi=jKnX0WwO3L1-ks8f Looking at making a newer version too!
@@npoleary my Apple CarPlay seems to go off in the middle of my driving, should I get a new cable? That’s the reason I wanted to go wireless but then it won’t show the Apple map on the dashboard screen. I suppose if I take it to the dealer but it will cost a lot of $$$. Btw, I’m team Red Bull lol 😂
My iPhone has the latest update iOS 17.4.1. When I plugged in the CarPlay to one of the usb ports, it seemed a bit loose. As a result, I paired it with Bluetooth and it worked but no pictures on the screen to look at the Apple map or any maps. I would have to turn on the speaker voice and depend on its directions via the voice or have to look down to my phone in the cup holder. Does that make sense. Sorry for the long explanation.
No that makes sense! I’d suggest a different cable to start. That might be the cause of it. However if it’s the USB port then it’ll need to go to a dealer or a mechanic or something.
Hi Nick great vid. I have an idea for a video that would help so many merc owners, let me know if you want my idea as I’ve looked for what I need to know on my AMG GLE 53 and all the forums are guessing answers
Thank you! Always open to ideas! Yeah absolutely! Can’t say I can do them all but I’ll possibly add it to the list! Either comment below or if it’s a secret just email me “contact@npo-media.co.uk”
@@npoleary on my GLE53 when select the i on the right hand amg rotery button it gave me a choice I believe of engine by powers including REDUCED Which there is no explanation in the book I got with the car when I went onto Mercedes-Benz forums. A lot of people say the i is for ice which is totally wrong and no one knows what the reduce power is. So maybe you can enlighten the world how to set up INDIVIDUAL mode
I did produce this some time ago (I think it might have been before “Reduced” was used more. ruclips.net/video/XdYHeadHXLA/видео.htmlsi=IrcIUpkesXeFAJ5w Most of it should still be relevant though!
Hey Martin, no worries! If your car can do it, try and swipe your instrument cluster dial to the left. If you can usually one of those is an analog clock, but just bear in mind, not all models can do this.
Always good to find out new possibilities for the Merc. I downloaded the TalkSPORT App on my iPhone (Radio), however the connectivity seems to have become a problem with connection with the Car at times for some really random reason. DO you know of any Apps that also do this, wondering if I should just delete the App. The problem since adding this App is that any messages that are received by my phone automatically get turned into voice mail via the car which is great, however it now repeats the same message even if I reply/cancel the message… Any thoughts/ideas please.
Hey Mohead26, thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Ah that one’s easy, if you have it, when the boot is open on top of the tailgate on the left hand side will be a button. Just click that and the tow bar will extend automatically. Sadly though my licence doesn’t cover towing and also having never done it before can’t imagine I’d be any good! 😅
I bought a 2019 Mercedes Benz C220d AMG Line a few weeks ago, absolutely love it and a big step up from my Ford Mundano ( Mondeo). I'm struggling with setting my HOME address in the nav menu, any tips on how to do this please ? Everytime the system asks if I would like to set the HOME address I say yes, it saves but when I voice command HOME it says no home address found or stored. I did manage to save it to favourites in the end. Cheers, Daz, Leicester.
Oh really that sounds strange If you’ve saved as home the voice command should work with the command “Home”. Not sure what else to suggest… You could try a multimedia system reset, just bear in mind that this wipes everything from the car and puts it back to factory settings.
hey, Nick Love the videos. Question : i have a 2023 GLC coupe. The turn signals stopped making the classic sound when in use. How do i turn it back on ? Hope you can help thank you ant
Great video! Question. Do newer Benz have the features where you walk away from the car and it locks itself without you having to touch the door handle or remote? Thanks
Thank you! Haven’t noticed this on any Mercedes to date. Some other manufacturers do this that I cover but with Mercedes you need to lock it with keyless (touch on the handle), the key or on the E-Class 2024 you can lock with your phone through Apple Wallet.
Hi Nick, I am having a very strange behaviour with Mercedes' proprietary app called "mercedes me". It is very good because it allows to share addresses straight from my iPhone Google maps to the car's (GLE 450) GPS. It has unfortunately stopped working since Mid August 2022 after the latest iOS mandatory update release from Apple. Every time I am getting an error message as ‘ location could not found’ from the Mercedes me. Are you aware of this issue and it’s fix? Thanks for being always accessible to your fan base of Mercedes community.
Hey sambakorea, this is quite common among iPhones. Traditionally Bluetooth on iOS is only for Calls, Texts and music. The sending of addresses can sometimes stop working after an iOS update as resets some parameters. Just a unpair from Bluetooth in the car and phone and reconnect both back up will fix it. 👍🏼
@@npoleary Hi there, just updating on this issue- Apple Maps is working ok and able to share the map data with the Mercedes Me app. The issue still exists with Google maps with an error as ‘ location could not be found on the Mercedes App.🤔🤔
My observation was the Google Maps, Apple Maps and What3Words all had this issue after the iOS update (15.7 I believe it was). Since then Apple Maps has started working again, and given MercedesMe hasn’t been updated, this suggests the map products may need an update to work with the iOS update. I have since installed iOS 16 and this has not changed the situation. So does look like it could be an intentional change from Apple that Google and W3W still need to update for. As I say, just my observation and thoughts, haven’t been able to find anything official from any of the parties mentioned.
Hi Nick, thanks for your really cool videos! Do the cars after and including 2019 have engine immobilisers? If so, how do I use them/ activate them? thanks,
Nick O'Leary can u tell me how to set my car to open to my touch?? I have a 2013 glk 350. It was working then when I got it out of the shop, the touch wasn't working.
Hey Melanie, really sorry I’ve never seen a GLK before. If it’s the same as other models, try the changing the battery in the key or speak with your local Mercedes and they should be able to give you a hand 🤓 There isn’t a setting to turn it off so I’m presuming it’s just the battery 🤓 Hope so anyway!
Hi Nick; I just got my brand new GLE 350e and it rolls fantastic.There is one thing I find rather strange.I am used to drive in the regenerating break modus. Meaning getting energy back in the battery during breaking. When the battery is empty this dos not work any more. Is there a way to set it do regenerative driving at all times ? Best Regards Axel
@@npoleary Ah ok. Thanks for that. I know this isn't really related to this particular video, but do you have one explaining the controls for the wipers at all?
Think I went through it the handover walkthrough guide videos: www.youtube.com/@npoleary/search?query=handover ruclips.net/video/nJsomdtSPVo/видео.html
Nick - I've been watching just about all of your videos related to my recently purchased EQS 580 and they are great. Thanks so much for doing them. I have a question if you still read these comments. I've paired my iPhone with the MBUX, allowed the contacts and favorites to sync, and enabled Apple CarPlay. CarPlay works great but I am really enjoying MBUX so I want to mostly use that interface. The contacts still don't sync so I can't just say, "Her Mercedes. Call ..." then list someone in my contacts. If I want to do that, I need to switch to CarPlay and ask Siri to do it. The dealership tells me that once CarPlay is enabled that the contacts won't sync to MBUX - it's just one or the other. True or is there something I've failed to do to be able to use contacts in MBUX? Thanks for any assistance.
Hey! Ah glad you enjoy them! Yes so for the best user experience (this is for any car as I cover various manufacturers and they’re all the same) You must choose one or the other. For example in Mercedes if you have Apple CarPlay on, MBUX will suspend some of its functions and expect you to use CarPlay. I’ve not been in an EQS for a while since I filmed one with Mercedes some time ago but it’ll be in the phone menu and you’re looking for some icons that have Phone icon, Media icon & Apple CarPlay icon (this will probably be selected at the moment). Press Home, Phone and look for the like a Bluetooth device manager option where you’ll find these icons. Another thing you could do on your phone is press Settings, Bluetooth, find your car and turn off CarPlay in there which will force the car to use Bluetooth enabling the phonebook to appear on MBUX.
Thanks for the reply@@npoleary . I am able to toggle between using CarPlay and BT but wanted to see whether you could confirm that the contacts would not be available to the phone function for both MBUX and CarPlay. Darn, that seems an odd restriction but "it is what it is" and I'll simply need to consider that when making phone calls or looking to navigate to a contact's address. Thanks again.
Ah that’s just the way CarPlay works. CarPlay is a completely separate UI and when enabled it’ll make the multimedia system in a car swap to CarPlay. You can use both together but you’ll find that you’ll be hopping between UI’s often as they both compete for your attention. For example if you have a text come through, that’ll interrupt whatever’s on the screen and show you that instead.
@@npoleary Ah, I must just be recalling my last car's experience incorrectly. I had a Porsche Taycan before the EQS and I could see the two interfaces (Porsche and Apple) but I thought I was still able to instruct the Porsche side to call contact numbers. Since I used Apple CarPlay more often than Porsche's interface, I likely and just not remembering that experience correctly. MBUX does everything so much better than Porsche's PCM, though, that I find myself expecting to spend much more time on that interface. Thanks again.
Good afternoon. If you don'thave ant vídeos on the subject, like to ask if you make one about how to get radio stations to show the names of artists and songs. Thanks for working and sharing.
Hi Nick. How to navigate the preset radio station without going to “Radio”. For example, while the screen is showing the navigation or apple car play, just press the prev or next button to change the station. Thanks
From memory it’s in Settings in Radio 🤓 Home Radio Settings (I think then General?) In here you can toggle A-Z radio stations or favourite radio stations 🤓
Got 71 plate cla 250e P plus, but 1st Sept getting C Class 300e Premium Plus. Can either use from front camera to record? Also believe you can also watch vidoes from the usb on the C Class?
Ha very nice! For Dashcam it depends on the country that the car is sold in and the specification. Check with Mercedes for it on the car and keep an eye out for Augmented Reality as that’s the camera that makes it work. Sadly with video playback, Mercedes don’t publish what models can playback video on their brochures etc but if it’s the new C-Class it should do. Double check with them to be sure 🤓
Not sure I completely understand…you can turn the volume up and down in the car but you can’t make it any louder than the top of the volume level. Unless the source of the music is made louder but go careful or your speakers might get damaged if it’s too loud!
@@npoleary yes, you understood quite well. There’s only two things I don’t like about my GLB with the 3rd row is the cream color and that the volume is not as loud as I would expect. Other than that it’s an excellent compact SUV. I wish MB sells seat covers though.
Sadly not seen or covered the 2024 GLE yet but if I get my hands on one I’ll be sure to check it out! I doubt it though, as with all Mercedes models that I’ve tested, you need to lock using the key or by touching the handle if you have keyless 🙏👍🏼
Hi off the subject a little but you have helped me in the past. I have tried to connect my Samsung Galaxy to mt 2020 plate C Class and it does not recognise that anything is connected. Is there a problem with the car or do they not work with Galaxy phones. I want to connect to use the waze navigation on the screen because it warns of traffic jams more efficiently and also speed cameras. It works on other car built in screens when plugged into the USB ports. Thanks.
Ah for Android Auto? You’ll want this video: ruclips.net/video/hTSUQNey_jI/видео.htmlsi=Edy_m8nK1AnHu2kG Just bear in mind, you need Android Auto on the car in the first place as it is not standard equipment. Check on your car’s central screen by going to HOME, CONNECT (or APPS) and see if Android Auto is there.
@npoleary took me 20 seconds to do it with your RUclips video. First time ever got back fom Cornwall to Derby with no traffic jam's. Stuck it in cruise control at 70 lol. Home in under 4hrs and got 61 to gallon in my 20 plate c class coupe. Just got to clean the wetsuits and hoover the sand out. Thanks again.
Ah the one I used was an EQS (in the video) However you can get that style of screen currently in C-Class, EQE, EQS, new SL and as of next year new GLC. EQE SUV & EQS SUV should have something similar too but that’ll be confirmed by Mercedes in the future.
Hi Nick, is it possible to deactivate the sensor for the foot open and close operation for the boot? The boot sometimes opens and closes without using my foot.
That would be the key 👍🏼 The sensor under the boot will only work when you are standing at the back with the key. If the key is inside or in a bag away from the car then the sensor is inactive. If the boot is opening then a button is being pressed and held on the key.
Hello Nick, how do I alter the sensitivity on my 2020 E class controls for sat nav etc, I mean the pad that’s between the two front seats, for instance if I’m entering the post code of an address the pad is so sensitive that I enter the same letter or number numerous times and have to keep erasing them?
Pretty sure I’ve seen some adjustments in the Settings menu although it can vary from car to car to where it is located. Have a look on the centre screen: HOME SETTINGS SYSTEM or HOME SYSTEM And then look for: CONTROLS TOUCHPAD SENSITIVITY 🤓

And thanks for subscribing, I have a tonne of Mercedes content on my channel but also review other manufacturers too such as Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW and more coming soon!
Hi Nick, love your reviews. Just one clarification: on 7:50 you say: iPhones could be a little bit funny with contacts. It's quite the opposite, they are very serious when it comes to protecting your data. When you don't allow the sync of the contacts in the initial pairing, then the iPhone will not allow it from then on to protect your data. Thank you for showing how to work around that if you didn't allow it by accident and you are indeed ok with sharing your contacts with this car.
Hey cesstra, thank you! Sorry that’s not what I meant at all. Sorry if you took it the wrong way.
When connecting Bluetooth, on the odd occasion the contacts pop up never appears which is a bug either on the phone side or car side. So you have unpair and disconnect the whole thing and start again.
Absolutely, Apple are at the forefront of privacy and data is seriously encrypted on all devices.
Just annoying from time to time that the Allow Contacts pop doesn’t appear.
Nick makes it so easy an fun to use Merc
2023 C class has improved a lot. But having software issues even after updating. Love the “hey Mercedes” feature.

If you turn on the limiter you can actually still override the max speed if you put the pedal completely to the floor. It's usually in emergency situation where speeding up a safer course of action than breaking like on highways for example
You sure can!
Then why say you won’t? Sooner or later somebody will ‘demonstrate’ this to a passenger when approaching a speed camera 😅- and whoosh!
Thanks for the tips Nick, very useful as ever. I'm glad you used that particular model because it allows me to comment on my pet hate for Mercedes interiors. Why oh why do they insist on using that awful false woodgrain effect?
Personal taste I know, but I think it's incredibly tacky. It's actually stopped me from considering certain models as it's as tasteful as flocked wallpaper; especially on high end models.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them!

Ah you might have winter tyre limit or something? I’ve not gone that fast before so not too sure 😅
But have a look in HOME, SETTINGS, VEHICLE, Winter Tyres, make sure this is off (if you don’t have winter tyres on)
Another good one especially the key one. Don’t agree with radio auto starting. If you turn off the car with the radio on. It will play on re starting the car. If before you turn off the car press in the volume on the steering wheel or centre console. Which turns off the radio or media. When you start the car again the radio will not play.
You could do that one on some models of Mercedes 🤓
I think the newer NTG 7 models (newer MBUX) you have to select Media.
@@npoleary ok mine is 2018 A200 AMG line premium plus. I have had the latest MBUX update though too.

Omg! Nick,,, What timing.. I was in the service department at Mercedes to have them check out my navigation system.. Something is wrong. It shows no navigation 3rd time now with an X through it. It works when it wants to. They did not find anything wrong and have to do more research I have to bring it back on the 14th and leave it there.. Not too happy right now with this. But it is working again, so who knows.... Nice Video as always...

I came on here a bit late. I loved that you put Lewis Hamilton lurking at you in the beginning lol 🤣. Thanks so much for the trick on a dead key. I do have a question on using bluetooth. I just wirelessly paired my phone to my Mercedes C300 2019 model, but it won't show what on my iphone. I really need to see the map on my iphone 14 pro max. How to make it show? Thank you so much in advance.
Haha my local Mercedes dealer was a bit unsure of that at first…I said trust me…it’ll be funny 🤣
No worries! 🤓
Oh is this for using Apple CarPlay? You’ll need to plug it in for that (as long as it’s compatible).
If it is Apple CarPlay (the one to use Apple Maps or Google Maps from your phone) follow this guide I made: ruclips.net/video/xxUa6r893G0/видео.htmlsi=jKnX0WwO3L1-ks8f
Looking at making a newer version too!
@@npoleary my Apple CarPlay seems to go off in the middle of my driving, should I get a new cable? That’s the reason I wanted to go wireless but then it won’t show the Apple map on the dashboard screen. I suppose if I take it to the dealer but it will cost a lot of $$$. Btw, I’m team Red Bull lol 😂
My iPhone has the latest update iOS 17.4.1. When I plugged in the CarPlay to one of the usb ports, it seemed a bit loose. As a result, I paired it with Bluetooth and it worked but no pictures on the screen to look at the Apple map or any maps. I would have to turn on the speaker voice and depend on its directions via the voice or have to look down to my phone in the cup holder. Does that make sense. Sorry for the long explanation.
No that makes sense! I’d suggest a different cable to start. That might be the cause of it.
However if it’s the USB port then it’ll need to go to a dealer or a mechanic or something.
And thank you so much for your help. I learned a lot from your videos
Hi Nick great vid. I have an idea for a video that would help so many merc owners, let me know if you want my idea as I’ve looked for what I need to know on my AMG GLE 53 and all the forums are guessing answers

Either comment below or if it’s a secret just email me “contact@npo-media.co.uk”
@@npoleary on my GLE53 when select the i on the right hand amg rotery button it gave me a choice I believe of engine by powers including REDUCED Which there is no explanation in the book I got with the car when I went onto Mercedes-Benz forums.

Thanks fro new 10 tips . But any chance to have sort of digital analog clock on MBUX please .
Hey Martin, no worries!
If your car can do it, try and swipe your instrument cluster dial to the left. If you can usually one of those is an analog clock, but just bear in mind, not all models can do this.
Thank you! Those tips will do me good after 18 years!
Btw which Mercedes is that?
Which part of the video? Gotta feeling I had access to a couple that day 🤓
Always good to find out new possibilities for the Merc.
I downloaded the TalkSPORT App on my iPhone (Radio), however the connectivity seems to have become a problem with connection with the Car at times for some really random reason. DO you know of any Apps that also do this, wondering if I should just delete the App.
The problem since adding this App is that any messages that are received by my phone automatically get turned into voice mail via the car which is great, however it now repeats the same message even if I reply/cancel the message… Any thoughts/ideas please.
Perhaps someone else has commented about the starting of the engine with a dead key fob, but how do you get in the car in the first place?
Ah I’ve covered all things like that on my tips and tricks episodes: ruclips.net/video/WeTCTvKoTWs/видео.html
Hi Nick love the videos... are u able to show how the trailer coupling tow bar works on the eqc
Hey Mohead26, thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Ah that one’s easy, if you have it, when the boot is open on top of the tailgate on the left hand side will be a button. Just click that and the tow bar will extend automatically.
Sadly though my licence doesn’t cover towing and also having never done it before can’t imagine I’d be any good! 😅
How would the soft reset work in a car that has only capacitive buttons, for example the new c class? Thanks a mil!
Haven’t seen it on that car so not 100% sure it exists on that model. If I find it, I’ll be sure to let everyone know!
I bought a 2019 Mercedes Benz C220d AMG Line a few weeks ago, absolutely love it and a big step up from my Ford Mundano ( Mondeo). I'm struggling with setting my HOME address in the nav menu, any tips on how to do this please ? Everytime the system asks if I would like to set the HOME address I say yes, it saves but when I voice command HOME it says no home address found or stored. I did manage to save it to favourites in the end. Cheers, Daz, Leicester.
Oh really that sounds strange
If you’ve saved as home the voice command should work with the command “Home”.
Not sure what else to suggest…
You could try a multimedia system reset, just bear in mind that this wipes everything from the car and puts it back to factory settings.
hey, Nick
Love the videos. Question : i have a 2023 GLC coupe. The turn signals stopped making the classic sound when in use. How do i turn it back on ? Hope you can help thank you ant
Thank you! I’ve not seen a setting to turn them off so I’d defo suggest contacting Mercedes. Hopefully they’ll be able to advise or take a look!
Great video!
Question. Do newer Benz have the features where you walk away from the car and it locks itself without you having to touch the door handle or remote?
Thanks
Thank you! Haven’t noticed this on any Mercedes to date. Some other manufacturers do this that I cover but with Mercedes you need to lock it with keyless (touch on the handle), the key or on the E-Class 2024 you can lock with your phone through Apple Wallet.
Hi Nick,
I am having a very strange behaviour with Mercedes' proprietary app called "mercedes me". It is very good because it allows to share addresses straight from my iPhone Google maps to the car's (GLE 450) GPS. It has unfortunately stopped working since Mid August 2022 after the latest iOS mandatory update release from Apple. Every time I am getting an error message as ‘ location could not found’ from the Mercedes me. Are you aware of this issue and it’s fix? Thanks for being always accessible to your fan base of Mercedes community.
Hey sambakorea, this is quite common among iPhones. Traditionally Bluetooth on iOS is only for Calls, Texts and music.
The sending of addresses can sometimes stop working after an iOS update as resets some parameters.
Just a unpair from Bluetooth in the car and phone and reconnect both back up will fix it. 👍🏼
@@npoleary thanks for this, I have been having the same error for the last couple of weeks. Will certainly be trying your suggested solution.
@@npoleary Hi there, just updating on this issue- Apple Maps is working ok and able to share the map data with the Mercedes Me app. The issue still exists with Google maps with an error as ‘ location could not be found on the Mercedes App.🤔🤔
Yes I’ve seen it’s been like that for while, not sure if it’s the app Google Maps or if it’s the Mercedes me app
My observation was the Google Maps, Apple Maps and What3Words all had this issue after the iOS update (15.7 I believe it was). Since then Apple Maps has started working again, and given MercedesMe hasn’t been updated, this suggests the map products may need an update to work with the iOS update.
I have since installed iOS 16 and this has not changed the situation. So does look like it could be an intentional change from Apple that Google and W3W still need to update for.
As I say, just my observation and thoughts, haven’t been able to find anything official from any of the parties mentioned.
Hi Nick, thanks for your really cool videos! Do the cars after and including 2019 have engine immobilisers? If so, how do I use them/ activate them? thanks,
Yes all makes of cars have immobilisers fitted after 1998. They activate when locked (it all works together when the alarm is set)
Wow that was insane 😂 🤦🏻♂️
FYI. The "soft reset" can be done on older Mercesdes by holding down the CD eject button.
Ah thanks for sharing! Didn’t know that one 👍🏼
On the flat key battery point. Can you get in the car in the first place if the key battery is flat?
Yes I think depending on your model, there’s always a key installed in the smart key fob where you can manually detach and open your car with it
You sure can: ruclips.net/video/WeTCTvKoTWs/видео.html
Nick O'Leary can u tell me how to set my car to open to my touch?? I have a 2013 glk 350. It was working then when I got it out of the shop, the touch wasn't working.
Hey Melanie, really sorry I’ve never seen a GLK before. If it’s the same as other models, try the changing the battery in the key or speak with your local Mercedes and they should be able to give you a hand 🤓
There isn’t a setting to turn it off so I’m presuming it’s just the battery 🤓
Hope so anyway!
@@npoleary thank you
Hi Nick;
I just got my brand new GLE 350e and it rolls fantastic.There is one thing I find rather strange.I am used to drive in the regenerating break modus. Meaning getting energy back in the battery during breaking. When the battery is empty this dos not work any more. Is there a way to set it do regenerative driving at all times ?
Best Regards
Axel
Ooo nice! 👍🏼
No sadly not it’s only available on the electric mode, so if it’s depleted you probably can’t select it
Hi Nick, when setting the limiter to a certain speed and going downhill, how the car keeps the speed? Purely relying on brake?
It’ll utilise engine braking and the actual brakes to keep it at a steady speed 👍🏼
@@npoleary Thanks! I wonder if there’s a need (or better to) manually down shift the gears when going downhill
Cars can do it automatically to a degree but you can manually change it if you want to 🤓
That was great nick you own a Mercedes and you dont know half the teck stuff in your car cheers.👍

@@npoleary That's great. Thank you.
Nick - I've been watching just about all of your videos related to my recently purchased EQS 580 and they are great. Thanks so much for doing them. I have a question if you still read these comments. I've paired my iPhone with the MBUX, allowed the contacts and favorites to sync, and enabled Apple CarPlay. CarPlay works great but I am really enjoying MBUX so I want to mostly use that interface. The contacts still don't sync so I can't just say, "Her Mercedes. Call ..." then list someone in my contacts. If I want to do that, I need to switch to CarPlay and ask Siri to do it. The dealership tells me that once CarPlay is enabled that the contacts won't sync to MBUX - it's just one or the other. True or is there something I've failed to do to be able to use contacts in MBUX? Thanks for any assistance.
Hey! Ah glad you enjoy them!
Yes so for the best user experience (this is for any car as I cover various manufacturers and they’re all the same)
You must choose one or the other. For example in Mercedes if you have Apple CarPlay on, MBUX will suspend some of its functions and expect you to use CarPlay.
I’ve not been in an EQS for a while since I filmed one with Mercedes some time ago but it’ll be in the phone menu and you’re looking for some icons that have
Phone icon, Media icon & Apple CarPlay icon (this will probably be selected at the moment).
Press Home, Phone and look for the like a Bluetooth device manager option where you’ll find these icons.
Another thing you could do on your phone is press Settings, Bluetooth, find your car and turn off CarPlay in there which will force the car to use Bluetooth enabling the phonebook to appear on MBUX.
Thanks for the reply@@npoleary . I am able to toggle between using CarPlay and BT but wanted to see whether you could confirm that the contacts would not be available to the phone function for both MBUX and CarPlay. Darn, that seems an odd restriction but "it is what it is" and I'll simply need to consider that when making phone calls or looking to navigate to a contact's address. Thanks again.
Ah that’s just the way CarPlay works. CarPlay is a completely separate UI and when enabled it’ll make the multimedia system in a car swap to CarPlay. You can use both together but you’ll find that you’ll be hopping between UI’s often as they both compete for your attention.
For example if you have a text come through, that’ll interrupt whatever’s on the screen and show you that instead.
@@npoleary Ah, I must just be recalling my last car's experience incorrectly. I had a Porsche Taycan before the EQS and I could see the two interfaces (Porsche and Apple) but I thought I was still able to instruct the Porsche side to call contact numbers. Since I used Apple CarPlay more often than Porsche's interface, I likely and just not remembering that experience correctly. MBUX does everything so much better than Porsche's PCM, though, that I find myself expecting to spend much more time on that interface. Thanks again.
@marcdulude587 ah no worries 🤓

Ha very nice!
For Dashcam it depends on the country that the car is sold in and the specification. Check with Mercedes for it on the car and keep an eye out for Augmented Reality as that’s the camera that makes it work.
Sadly with video playback, Mercedes don’t publish what models can playback video on their brochures etc but if it’s the new C-Class it should do. Double check with them to be sure 🤓
How do I get my mb GLB to play louder than what it is able to ?
Not sure I completely understand…you can turn the volume up and down in the car but you can’t make it any louder than the top of the volume level.
Unless the source of the music is made louder but go careful or your speakers might get damaged if it’s too loud!
@@npoleary yes, you understood quite well. There’s only two things I don’t like about my GLB with the 3rd row is the cream color and that the volume is not as loud as I would expect. Other than that it’s an excellent compact SUV. I wish MB sells seat covers though.
HI Nick ! on a 2024 GLE 350 is there a walkaway lock feature ? and if yes how is this set?? please advise
Sadly not seen or covered the 2024 GLE yet but if I get my hands on one I’ll be sure to check it out!

Hi off the subject a little but you have helped me in the past. I have tried to connect my Samsung Galaxy to mt 2020 plate C Class and it does not recognise that anything is connected. Is there a problem with the car or do they not work with Galaxy phones. I want to connect to use the waze navigation on the screen because it warns of traffic jams more efficiently and also speed cameras.

Ah for Android Auto? You’ll want this video: ruclips.net/video/hTSUQNey_jI/видео.htmlsi=Edy_m8nK1AnHu2kG
Just bear in mind, you need Android Auto on the car in the first place as it is not standard equipment.
Check on your car’s central screen by going to HOME, CONNECT (or APPS) and see if Android Auto is there.

However you can get that style of screen currently in C-Class, EQE, EQS, new SL and as of next year new GLC. EQE SUV & EQS SUV should have something similar too but that’ll be confirmed by Mercedes in the future.
Hi Nick, is it possible to deactivate the sensor for the foot open and close operation for the boot? The boot sometimes opens and closes without using my foot.
That would be the key 👍🏼
The sensor under the boot will only work when you are standing at the back with the key.
If the key is inside or in a bag away from the car then the sensor is inactive.
If the boot is opening then a button is being pressed and held on the key.
Thanks very much Nick for the quick reply. Your videos are very helpful.
Hello Nick, how do I alter the sensitivity on my 2020 E class controls for sat nav etc, I mean the pad that’s between the two front seats, for instance if I’m entering the post code of an address the pad is so sensitive that I enter the same letter or number numerous times and have to keep erasing them?
Pretty sure I’ve seen some adjustments in the Settings menu although it can vary from car to car to where it is located.
Have a look on the centre screen:
HOME
SETTINGS

or

And then look for:
CONTROLS
