Yep! I have mugs of all my favourite cars ☺️

Hey, a few have had this problem and we have fixed it by starting from the beginning. Take the usb out and exit and lock the car to reset everything. Then when you enter start the car and put the usb in. Wait on the menu for 4 mins (while it loads up from the usb) then go into the menu and fingers crossed it won’t be grey. I think it is grey for some because of going into the menus too soon. I hope this all works!

@@ABAUTOAMG Th ank you

Thank you, really appreciate nice comments like this. Wishing you all the best and an amazing 2025!

Yep, because you can’t remote start a Mercedes without an aftermarket mod :)

Hey, I think a lot of them will. Give them a try and see :)

It’s ok but not the best. Some parts are lovely and some feel a bit cheap. Visually though it all looks great. I have had quite a few creeks and rattles come and go.

Sorry to hear that Chris. It never came back with my pilot sports but I recently purchased a Aston Martin Vantage with Pzero tyres and the crabbing is exactly the same on the Vantage so I now know now its nothing to do with the Mercedes 4 wheel drive system as the Vantage is rear wheel drive. Its got to be the tyres just freezing up and getting too hard in cold temps. Its interesting how it completely went away with pilot sports for me though but maybe it would of returned later. I guess the only real fix here would be to swap to winter tyres in the colder months. I don’t worry about it much on the Vantage though now as I know its just the tyres, it is not very nice though pulling out if the driveway in the morning il admit :(

Sadly the direction of the AMG brand has steered more towards tech and dynamics than the big loud engines we love at moment :( fingers crossed the powertrains will return and we will get the best of both. I’m more attracted to the used market meanwhile with the nice big engines!

@ as a previous w205 c43 and c63 owner I know that’s this is future but for me amg is all about the whole package was never about 0-60 times which everyone is banging on about sad times for me I still have a w204 c63 which I will keep close by ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️will miss these AMG beasts 🙏

This car is actually 4 wheel drive with Mercedes 4matic+ system so you can also put it in “drift mode” if you want it to feel more like a rear wheel drive car too and have some fun with the back end. Its a very advanced 4 wheel drive system.

I haven't owned a Mercedes yet with remote start. I’m not sure any can do it without an after market mod. The problem with them is you can’t lock the car with the engine running using the key.

Although I absolutely love a V6, V8 etc I do think you should try driving these crazy powered four cylinders as you will lo be surprised how good they are. And this is coming from someone that owns a V8 :) Of course I love the V8 more but I these 4 cylinder cars are still really fun to drive. It just needs to be in something light and nimble like the a45/cla45. It really does not work in something big like the C63 etc.

Thank you! The car is still an absolute dream. I have lots of fun videos planned for next year! 😁

Thank you @@chandranravi3

Thanks!

No problem. It is very minor. An opf delete will be a much bigger difference 👍

It really is! I still love the C43 :)

Ah! Nice! Yep sounds like my car I have a video collecting it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqGplYVmYquIY8Usi=8-19AhlxWrsLZF7m Congrats on yours, sounds great! They are such amazing cars. I hope you enjoy many happy miles!

@@ABAUTOAMG That's the one! It went to a good owner. Be great to meet up in the new year, we can do double act? BTW, your mum would be proud of you.. Jason.

Thank you Jason, that would be amazing. What a nice little back story too! I am planning on starting a new series next year when the weathers a bit better where I feature viewers and there cars on the channel. Would be great to have you as a guest if you’d up for it :)

@@ABAUTOAMG Let me know the best way to contact you and have a lovely Christmas, hope to see you in 2025..

Thanks! I think people are surprised it sounds so good despite having the opf and no mods. I have no doubt your 2017 tuned C43 sounds much more aggressive! The pre opf cars are a lot louder! Would love to see some vids of it! Post here if you do :)

Thanks @doc_paul. Luckily no issues at all. I expected it to increase but I let them know and no changes at all to the cost. I’m with Admiral.

Hey, sorry for the delay getting back to you. Thank you for the nice comment and congratulations on your new car! I bet that looks lovely in the matte finish. I had my car ceramic coated to help with rain, water spots and general elements. It was great so I would highly recommend it as you can’t apply a wax to the car. Please make sure that the coating is done by a professional detailed and they use a coating that is ok on matte paint. I have a video here of when I got mine done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIbdeoOea6d_iLssi=_BcwnzcyFO6krxdZ

This would not work with any of the Mercedes I have owned. With all of mine you can’t lock the car with the fob while the engine is running. There was also no way to shut the engine off with the key fob. Which model and year were you able to do this on?

@@ABAUTOAMG A45 2023

Always nice to hear from someone ambitious that understands :) if spending money on things motivates you to make more money its better than saving if you believe in yourself. I wish you all the best and hope you reach your goals 👍

Ah! Fantastic congrats on the M3. They look stunning in the frozen matte paint. I hope you enjoy many happy miles! I have put together a full playlist of videos that I've made on the paint here with my car of your interested in seeing more along with long term updates. kzbin.info/aero/PLOGydUfsSwCu84nl8zPwgjoJz_KBMu6bZ&si=P6kd9B7_5Y66cnEe

@@ABAUTOAMG Thank you, I collect in 2 days! I will now start watching your other videos and subscribe, thanks for your efforts! 👍

Thank you for sharing. That's interesting to hear on the front brake pads. Mine did not wear very fast new from the factory so it might be worth checking if there’s a reason why. Interior rattles are a pain. Sadly a result of the a/cla build quality combined with the harder ride in the AMG model. The issue you mentioned with the startup console freezing is something I have never experienced in mine. So there must be something wrong :( Manual rear boot is a shame. Perhaps it will make you feel better if I told you my Aston Martin boot is also manual 😅 some cars just don't have an electric boot despite price tag!

Congrats on your car! :) make sure you are careful when driving with traction control off :)
