10 HIDDEN FEATURES you didn’t realise your MERCEDES had!

[@acheron1630]

3:07 You can also release the "Hold" by tapping again the brake and honestly it is better to do so because by pressing the accelerator it will start moving the car forward with a small "bump" (due to the force needed to overcome the brake hold) while by tapping the brake it will start moving slower but smoother.

[@npoleary]

Absolutely you can do this too! 🤓

Quick tip: To change track, you can also simply swipe the area where the skip button is left/right to skip.

Hey Lewis, yes you can on some! I was going to mention it but sadly not all models have the “swipe” feature so thought I’d leave it.

You can also simply say “Hey Siri, skip song” and she will skip to the next song, or ask her to shuffle all songs, play whatever song, pause current song, etc. I do this daily. Obviously you need the iPhone. My Mercedes barely missed the Mercedes Me features, so Siri covers it.

Just here to point out that on tip #8 when you’re talking about range the blue circle indicates how far you can go using both electric and fuel. I’ve had an 2018 A-class and while it was Diesel, it showed the exact same range in your GPS system. Note that the hybrid systems in Mercedes have a range of about 80-100km max using electric only.

Hi Nick. Re smart cruise control when the car in front stops for more than 30seconds or you wish to pull away automatically after a red light period. Instead of touching throttle Pull away using a single or double click up on the right cruise control button and the car will pull away automatically without touching the throttle using the smart cruise control.

Great tips as usual. I've been using the HOLD feature since 2010 or 2012. Nick few questions: 1) Why is there a feature on the instrument panel to replace RMP with a small round navigation screen? What is the point when the display already has Navi. 2) Is the rain sensitive sunroof feature on the convertible top as well?

[@Black_Benz2023]

@@aliskpradoactually you are right....using the round NAV allows you to use the screen for something else.

[@jiajianhou426]

The hold function was implemented in or before 2014. I knew it from a 2014 C300 commercial. Mercedes hold function is much better than other manufacturers’ hold. With Mercedes you can decide each time when you stop if you want to hold just using your foot. Natural. But most other brands assign a button for it you have to press/pull to engage or disengage. It’s very frustrating when you need it for one sec and then you stop a second time but you don’t need it (parking), but it holds itself again.

[@crownofsplendortv]

E-350 2009 has the hold function, amazing function.

[@henriklmao]

Our old W204 C class also has this

[@thehijackster]

Hold function leaves the brake lights on. Highway Code rule 114 states: In stationary queues of traffic, drivers should apply the parking brake and, once the following traffic has stopped, take their foot off the footbrake to deactivate the vehicle brake lights. This will minimise glare to road users behind until the traffic moves again.

[@npoleary]

Hey Mitchell, don’t worry Mercedes have thought of that. They wouldn’t put something in car which conflicts with the Highway Code. On Mercedes cars, the brake lights brightness is significantly reduced during nighttime because of this. This will then of course reduce glare to other road users 👍🏼 I can’t remember the exact percentage that it is reduced but it was quite a lot!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏 glad you enjoy them! Got some more stuff planned soon! Some models do, depends on the model that you have. If it has MBUX NTG 6 then most of the time each profile has 3 memory settings. So select your profile then you have your own memory settings for each one. MBUX NTG 7, when you load your profile up, it changes the seat automatically. MBUX NTG 6 has wavey lines for the voice assistant and MBUX NTG 7 has sparkles for the voice assistant (how you can easily tell the difference).

@@npoleary Apologies, my original response to this question seems to have disappeared. So i will post it again. I tried a couple of different adaptors but found the AA Wireless adaptor worked best with MBUX. I will give you the link below. Essentially it is an Adaptor and an Android App working together. What makes this one so much better? 1. No need to load an APK file onto the head unit. Impossible if there is no hard drive fitted. 2. The App gets updated with new vehicle models and bug fixes so its firmware is always up to date 3. Best of all the home button on my GLC 300 steering wheel controls the switching between Android and MBUX with one tap. 4. When in android auto you can use the radio and nav button on the dash control to select google maps/waze and samsumsung music/spotify etc. 5. It is pretty much seamless as if this adaptor was made for MBUX. I waited 3 months for my adaptors due to COVID. I can now use my charge pad to charge my phone without cables. I bought 2 adaptors as I fitted the other to my wifes I30 N Line I30. Their system is not as sophisticated as MBUX but works satisfactorily Nick I am not part of AA Wireless for the record but any Mercedes owner that want wireless Android NEEDS to get this. Finally if you have issues connecting, i did as i was told to delete my bluetooth connction to the car and start again to connect it up initially, their help desk is quick and helpful.

Hi Nick, enjoy all your videos , watch many . I purchased in car office. I have set it up for my email account it’s on my car MMI but when I open it it only displays “please wait”. I hv been on the merc. Q&A to get help and into my local dealer to ask for help but nothing has been forth coming. Do you know where I can go or what do I do for help . I did watch you video on setting up in car office and followed your step by step process but mine does not get to the add pin, when I try to open. Only as I say , please wait ? Hopeful you can advise . Many thanks 🙏🏻

Hey Toto, thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Really sorry I’ve only used it a couple of times as it’s not really a feature I use day to day. I guess one thing they could try is if they remove the car from the account and link it back up just to see if that makes anything work? Other than that, I would imagine your local Mercedes would have to have a look with the car or your account just to double check it’s set up in the right way. Just thinking about it too, double check the permissions from the Office 365 / Gmail side as privacy settings that end may be blocking it.
