Recommended FEATURES & SETTINGS for your Mercedes!

Great - but a few basics to sort please Mercedes.
2017 E class with supposedly better option of the Comand satnav plus I have bought the extra annual upgrade. It really does not seem to work in real time and my satnav in my 2006 W211 which re-routed you and showed slow traffic. Really disappointed with this aspect of the car as it just takes me to traffic jams when there are other routes google gives.
Also can we please just have a setting to disable the tailgate lift button on the key fob. It is far too sensitive and you go out the restaurant and find your tailgate open as it can press if the key is in your pocket.

Both, my 2008 and 2015 E-classs sedans had the all-window up/down feature via the remote built-in.

Hi Nick
Thanks for very informative videos! I will buy a EQB and the one I have looked at lacks the multi purpose camera but it still got the lane keeping functionality. Is there any advantage to have the camera ( besides the Augmented Reality view)?
Thanks again for all the tips and tricks!

Very disappointed with my Mercedes gla 200 tried to set up the radio to find no d a b any thing i can do please

Hi Nick. I just bought a Mercedes GLB (awaiting delivery). Is there a recommended process to break in the car?

next time you blur a QR code, try to replace it with a QR code that points to a Rick Astley video :)

Hi Nick. I always find your videos really helpful. I've just received delivery of a V Class 300d. I want to turn on Early Warning All Round for Parktronic, but when I go into the Settings menu on MBUX, I don't have an 'Assistance' option. I only have 'Vehicle', 'Lights' and 'System'. Any idea why that might be and a way around it? Thanks - John

My old Astra GTE could open all the windows with the fob. Well ahead of its time. 😀

Hi Nick! May I check, how can we disable/hide that tiny mini Speedo gauge on around the top left of the circumference of the right dial in the instrument panel?

It’s shows xx mph if basic unit is km/h whereas it shows xx kph if basic unit is m/h. But I remembered it’s nothing there when I first got the vehicle (yesterday). Driving an eqb250.

Thank you,
A fan of your videos :)

I got bumped for the 2024 model year. When will it be released and priced and ready to ship???

Hiya Nick can you help How do you turn the radio off in my 2020 A class I can mute it by turning down or pressing the volume but after a few minutes it comes on again
I’ve searched the i Ty it no one seems to have the answer. Thanks a lot

Hello Nick,
My new Mercedes activates a dash am style camera when I come to a stop. What is this as I don’t see the option for the dash cam under the apps, nor where to turn it off. Any help?

Hey Nick, thanks for the video. How can I change the voice assistant’s voice from man to woman?

Great video Nick. I'm unable to change contacts to show first name and then surname on a 2021 A35. I can't see the option in contact settings. Can you please advise?

Hi Nick a quickie, my son just purchased a old merc saloon, booted version, noticed that the boot is sitting proud,by the rear screen, can you tell me if there’s any adjustment please ?

Yup, I have regretted it ever since. A squeaky drive belt which is apparently common on the A class, and the sluggish response for the throttle when asked of the engine. Then the creaking on the passenger side CV joint with a dry bushing (hopefully!) Good riddance for a Mazda.

Hi nick do all a class have ambient lighting thanks

Hi Nick,
Quick question, how do I change the increment for the cruise control? Every time I go up fully, the speed increases by 10km/h, but I would prefer 5 km/h.
I drive a W177 A200 with NTG6

Hi Nick. My Lane Change Assist function is switched off by default and I always have to switch it on when driving. Why is this happening? Can't I set it to be switched on by default? Looking forward to your tips on this one.

Another cool tip for the Mercedes key is that you can hide the key ring holder inside the key for a more flush design. Just press the key release button and push the ring holder inside. It will sit flush with the key fob.

Great video as always Nick! I find that holding down the key to open the windows is a bit hit or miss on my GLC. Also I followed your advice but have now turned off early warning on all parking sensors as it activates a lot when I'm driving in stop start traffic and even when I'm turning right across a main road waiting for a gap in oncoming traffic. Apart from that , great tips!

Hey Nick, Many thanks for your informative videos. Can you please advise on the hill start function, I often struggle (rather roll back) on hill on my A200 model. Thanks so much.

Hi Nick, nice video, like always. I want to ask you about the car sensors is it normal for the car sensors when the car is side of me the car sensors not make any sounds but soon the car leaves it is kinda for delay and then the the sensor makes the sound is it normal.
I was thinking just to visit the Mercedes showroom and ask them is it normal

hi nick and thanks for the video they are always amazing .

@Nick O'leary Why GLB 220 premium plus don't have aerial or 360 view. Can this be upgraded?

Another brilliant video

Hi Nick, I love your videos about all the gadgets on new Mercs. I have to make do with my 2007 model. Your video reminds me of Jeremy Clackson’s mickey take some years ago when he was sat in a new car with the instruction book for hours. I have a similar feeling about these new cars, there seems to be so much to change, set or whatever. I feel I would have to take a thermos and sandwiches while setting up.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your awesome contents.
Can you please make a video about connectivity in mercedes and how we can actually connect the car to amazon Alexa. For example turn of/off the air con through the MBUX. Cheers,

Great video as always Nick the tip about navigation was especially useful to me as the north issue had always bugged me but your resolution was so simple and it worked

Hi Nick, Can you tell me if the subframe failure on 2010-2017 models is a warranty claim as my neighbours car has just undergone a rear subframe failure?. Many thanks.

What's the reason for a cranking noise when doing a cold start for W177 A250 ?

Does voice command work when the Android Auto is connected ?

Should have taught us how to turn the Smart Key off so thieves cannot detect and extend the signal. I know that on the old Smart Key, you press the lock button twice in succession. You will then see the LED in the key flash twice quickly, then once for about a second. This turns off the key so it no longer emits a signal. To turn it back on again, simply press the unlock button.

Hey anyone knows how to fix gesture/tailgate boot feature

Another great Vid Nick Thanks 🙏

Guys: Did ... you ... know ... the default pitch of the warning tones are the music notes B and E, which honor Carl Benz!

Hi Nick, thank you once again for very informative video. Any chance, can you please do a video on regen braking in eqc as i am not sure how to make it to use of it. Thank you

How do I turn off the interior alarm, for when my dog is in the car.

GREAT videos. Can you please start a Sprinter van series. I have a 2020 MB van with MBUX converted to an RV. I try all of suggestions but some aren't applicable.

Hi Nick, i bought last year a glb and i learned from your videos about the hold feature. However i have to press really hard on the break pedal to make it work and sometimes doesn't, im just worried that something is going to break, or is it normal?, also how do i turn off traffic alerts, keep up the good work, i like your videos , it makes me feel good about owning a mercedes
