Great video, Nick!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

[@markcohen5619]

Nick you are a fantastic help to MB owners. The dealers do not know nearly as much as you! Thank You! My question… I have a 2023 EQS 580. When I park in my garage at home and close the garage door I do not lock the car… and the ambient lighting stays on for 20 minutes, even though the car has been turned off. I have even chosen the shortest interior lighting switch-off delay time. I worry this will drain the 12v battery. The only solution I have found is… to lock the car. Do you know any other way to shorten the ambient lighting on time once the car is turned off without locking the car? Thanks again! I love all your KZbin videos!

[@npoleary]

Thanks Mark for your kind comments! I’ll keep the videos coming! No sadly not I’ve noticed that when filming some of the EQ cars, the lighting does stay on longer but don’t worry. The 12V battery is maintained by the high voltage battery. If you left the LED side lights on for a few days, it might drop by only 1% approx if that. So the ambient lights inside will probably such a small amount, you won’t even notice.

@@npoleary Nick - Thanks for your info AGAIN! To give you the background on my question… I just purchased by second EQS 580 2 weeks ago. The first one purchased I had ordered & I purchased it a year later when it finally arrived in July 2022. Well it would not start the very next day and 2 two more times in the eight weeks I had the car. It spent over a month in the service center and they never could fully correct the issue. The High Voltage battery was NOT keeping the 12v battery charged as it should have. I even placed a Bluetooth battery monitor on the 12v battery terminals to watch it closely. In the end Mercedes stepped up and purchased the car back from me at 100% of the original cost - I could not have asked for any better customer service. But then the car was re-ordered to my specifications and it took 6 more months to arrive! I had traded in my 2016 Tesla Model S to purchase the first EQS 580… so my dealership allowed me to drive a loaner car for the 6 months it took to be replaced, which was super kind. Anyway I love my newest EQS and it has given me no problems at all. And yes, out of caution I placed the battery monitor on the new car and the 12v battery as you said, is being kept well charged by the high voltage battery as it should. So I am eagerly finally learning all the high tech in the car and your videos are a huge help. You are a huge help to the new customer, a service I hope Mercedes realizes is actually invaluable! THANK YOU AGAIN!

Wow that’s an amazing story! Thanks for sharing, sad to hear you had some issues but glad you got there in the end! Yes absolutely, I’ll keep the videos coming! 👀

[@jerrymoriarity917]

You have been very helpful. Greatly appreciated! With cruise on, traveling at 70 mph, my 2023 E450 will pick up an off-ramp speed limit of 45 and dramatically brake, even though I am staying on the freeway. Very dangerous. help!

[@npoleary]

Hey Jerry, it depends on the situation at the time and placement of the sign but if it saw a sign close to the road you’re on, it could change the speed.

I have a 2023 EQE w/ Pinnacle trim, etc. I enjoy your tutorials. Do you have one specific to the model indicated?

[@npoleary]

Hey max Timothy ooo very nice! Not heard of Pinnacle trim before though! I have more content on the way all the time, every Friday at 4pm so keep an eye out! 🤓 Have a few videos already on NTG 7 which is the multimedia system in that car 👍🏼

[@miguelangelolleta6679]

Hi Nick, another wanderful video. I have a GLA 250e and I'm looking for info about estimated number of recharge cicles battery, unsuccesful. Could you help me to find this kind if información? Thanks in advance.

[@npoleary]

Hey Miguel, not seen any car manufacturer release this info but you can read similar terms on the battery certificate: www.mercedes-benz.co.uk/passengercars/services/warranty.html

Obrigado.

Useful as usual but I don't understand how to remove the lim icon from the screen...😅

If God wanted you to open a bonnet he would not have invented Mercedes dealerships 😁 I honestly have no idea how to do that.

[@td5052]

Great video Nick. I have a Sat-Nav question for you, is there a way to feedback to Mercedes about an incorrect street name in their Sat-Nav?

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Mercedes use HERE WeGo maps, I’ve reported stuff on here before and seen it corrected later in the year when map updates come out. wego.here.com/

Thank you for all this helpful information's , I bought the new Mercedes C class W206 300d can you put the link to connect my car with my mobile phone for internet access from browser. Thanks in advance Konstantinos

[@npoleary]

Thank you! This is the one for using Vodafone in the car: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYfGiXRsoNubfrs For connecting your phone, head to Home, Settings, then usually System and then something along the lines of Connectivity. In here is how you can link your phone

[@Kar0ne1]

Do you have a video of all the dash label or icons that popup?

[@npoleary]

Not on the instrument cluster no, but if any come up like that, it would be best to chat with Mercedes or a workshop or something to get whatever it is checked out

[@themachine8842]

I have a 2021 GLE 350. My Wipers are 💩 I have Magic Vision. I see on other KZbin videos the water squirts the full wipe. Mine only dribbles out when the blades are vertical. Is this right? Or should it squirt as it wipes like I’ve seen?

[@npoleary]

It’ll wipe on the downward wipe to save it flicking up over the car. Keeps the car clean! 😎 But I’m pretty sure if you hold it for a few seconds (think it’s just over 5 seconds) it does a deep clean.

[@themachine8842]

@@npoleary might have to ask the dealership. From new day one it’s been like this. Terrible wiper, smears right in the eye level and I’ve cleaned everything and replaced the wipers after 1 year. The squirt action is nothing like the videos it’s just a short squirt at the top of the come back on the down. It’s very weak and doesn’t really get any bugs off like traditional jets.

[@satyajeetsingh6818]

In my CLA 200 '21' I see Beam and head lights on Motorways do not switch automatically though settings are on automatic mode, any suggestion

[@npoleary]

Is this like auto full beam? If so, it depends on the specification of the car. Not all models have adaptive full beam

[@Michaelchiuff]

Nick, just wondering if the level of formaldehyde is safe in a new Benz. I guess the safety regulation must be very strict in Euro regarding TVOC. Thx🙏.

[@npoleary]

I haven’t heard of this before but after a quick search I see it’s to do with car interiors etc Sadly I haven’t ever heard or seen a manufacturer release information of this, I certainly haven’t seen anything on Media Pages etc. I’m sure they all take extreme care with the production of seats and car interiors though!

[@Michaelchiuff]

@@npoleary Cheers Nick！

[@jmbroom]

Hi Nick, are you sure about the left and right side traffic? I’m in Australia (we drive on the left, steering wheel on the right) but “Auto” goes to right side traffic and if I set it to left side, I get a warning message to check it.

[@npoleary]

Every car that I’ve got in to review or make a tutorial on, it always says Left side Traffic + I confirmed with Mercedes directly here in the UN and even checked in the manual to make sure 100%. So I know it’s correct for the UK, but for Australia I would still just double check with Mercedes where you are to be 100% sure.

[@jmbroom]

Thanks for your reply@@npoleary , much appreciated! I'll check with MB Australia.

[@brandytoutant9434]

I don’t know if this question has been asked but above my charging station there’s this tab that slides in and out. I’m so confused as to what this is used for? I have a 2021 A250

[@npoleary]

Hey brandy is this a charging station at home on your house?

[@brandytoutant9434]

@@npoleary no it’s in my Mercedes it’s built in. Just a flat charging pad. Right above it, is this weird thing I can pull out but not completely and it just sit hovering over the carving pad but doesn’t seem to do anything. I have a A 250 2021

Hey Nick , need input . When I am reversing my parking camera not showing , I tried factory reset for MBUX . What I suspect is Parking camera cover is not opening . Any idea what could be the issue ?

[@npoleary]

Hey Pankaj, that should just work. I would defo speak to Mercedes and ask them to have a look for you 👍🏼

[@pankajnaik2708]

@@npoleary Thanks Nick . Issue was due to car wash . Probably to much wax water used and that lead to stickiness . Suddenly i realised this and sprayed water on it and bang .. it started working.

[@pankajnaik2708]

Appreciate your time Nick ! You are too good ! Not like other KZbinrs who beg for comments and then doesn’t reply . As of now , none of my question was unanswered by you !!! Hats off !!

[@AndreAceDD]

Hey Nick, I have seen that some Mercedes models have a feature that automatically adjusts the seat's position depending on the height that you enter on the touch screen. What kind of models are compatible with this feature ?

[@npoleary]

I’ve seen E-Class & CLS with it but also cars with the portrait styled multimedia system (MBUX NTG 7) But double check with Mercedes as specs do vary round the world 🤓

[@AndreAceDD]

@@npoleary Thanks a lot, I'll check it with my dealer then

[@AndreAceDD]

@@catchtheaman Have you tried it ? Like, is it useful ? I'm considering getting a new E-Class and that feature looked very interesting to play with.

@@AndreAceDD I mean it's cool to show to people but its not really accurate well at least for me since I have a short torso and long legs.

I pay for Wi-Fi in my G wagon as I prefer getting texts through the Mercedes system rather than Apple CarPlay…as CarPlay stops and reads the message, Mercedes doesn’t read it unless you ask it to…
