These tips are probably the most useful ones yet! How do you find these things out! 😂 could easily spend a day playing with the car and driving nowhere, love the voice assistant tip to access siri! Great video Nick, have a great weekend 👍

[@npoleary]

Thanks Kevin! Haha It does take time, as I film throughout the year, if I think of a good idea, I’ll jot it down. And when it comes to making the video, I filter through loads of them down to 10 which I think will apply to as many models as possible. Glad you like them! Thank you! 🤓

So once you press the 2 buttons to open one door how do you undo it ?

Same procedure to put it back the same way as before 🤓

Thanks Nick, I think the double push of the resume to make the car match the current speed limit is gonna be a license saver! Easily some of the best help videos on the net!

[@hondacar]

Very helpful tips. People can simply call on the "Hey Mercedes" function to demist the windscreen. After a gym session in the evening, when it is sometimes cool, my heavy breathing fogs up the windscreen and I simply instruct "Hey Mercedes" to demist.

[@shaumung]

How nifty! Intuitive? But very convenient

[@andrewhson]

Thank you for your informative videos, Nick! I genuinely got excited to know about the sending routing info from my iPhone to the car’s navigation. There are moments where the car can’t find a POI, so I end up just using my phone to guide me, but I like using my 2021 GLE’s nav much more. The tip about the car door unlocking during a battery drain scenario and driver side only were also enlightening. Looking forward to more of your tips and tricks and car reviews!

These videos are great! I got my new M-B during the pandemic so the sales team weren't allowed to show me how the car worked.

[@Delta2D2]

We have had BMW’s from Peter Vardy for 18yrs. There was always so much time spent with us going over new features. Since our 1st Merc from Stratstone, it was paperwork, the basics & next customer. My mindset was to go back to BMW, but I practically have a new Mercedes with all the features I find out from your films. Excellent work, hope you are rewarded well for it, you may just have saved a customer!

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome! Thanks D A Davidson! Glad you enjoy the videos! Yes I have heard handovers have been tricky over the past year and a bit (if you purchased recently) due to COVID etc. But…I’m glad the videos helped! Which model did you go for? 🤓

[@paulbrigham9287]

Mine handover was exactly the same. I came from many many years of BMW and was left very disappointed with the handover experience. Felt very under valued as a customer. Nicks vids have been a good send. Next car will be a beemer again though.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Thanks for the “Rest” tip Nick. It’s a standard fitment on my 2018 GLA45, but I’ve never really bothered with it as the instruction manual wasn’t particularly clear on what it did. Now I know I’ll be using that every winter shopping trip. And if the UK summer carries on in similar fashion I’ll probably be using it in August too…..

Great videos Nick. So useful to new Mercedes drivers. I'm 3 weeks into my new Mercedes EQA 250 AMG Line and I'm still discovering things. I was wondering if there is any way to switch off the creep / crawl mode? I could have sworn that the same model I test drove didn't creep, but I could be wrong. I've just come from an EV that didn't creep and I think I prefer that style of driving. I know that creep / crawl mode can be disabled in a Tesla model 3, so I'm wondering if that option is available on the EQA?

[@npoleary]

Hey Robert, Thank you and glad you like the videos! Unfortunately no it can't be switched off, I would imagine Mercedes have gone down this route to make sure electric feels familiar to people who have never driven one before.

[@richardjones7386]

Very good. Still would like to see a guide on the Mercedes Me assistant button by the rear view mirror. Concierge or Emergency only?

Hi Nick, not spoken for a while another great informative video as always …quick question have you covered gesture control in cars with MBUX in any detail? If not could you consider this for a future vid. Thanks

[@npoleary]

Hey Pete, sadly no…I’d love to cover that but it’s only found on literally a couple of models out there. It will feature in the future on my channel! Just when I can get my hands on a car that has it.

[@antoniadebenimaclet]

Lovely video, I went downstairs happily to adjust some features of my car. One question Nick: I have a CLA coupe 2022 with Keyless-Go, but I never managed to open the trunk with the kick. Does it have it or not? what it does not have is the automatic closing trunk button. Thanks in advance :)

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Sadly it depends on the spec of the car, I think there’s only two ways of telling. One is by actually trying it with the key at the rear of the car, the other is Mercedes staff at a dealer checking the car’s reg or chassis against the car’s spec. They’ll be looking for something called Hands Free Access 🤓
