8 TIME SAVING Tips in a Mercedes!

[@mickaelbernouilli3]

Hey Nick There is this trick that you might not know. In one of your video, you talked about the keyless option, where you can just tap on the rectangular little thingy on the door handle to close the doors. Here’s my little trick, you don’t actually need to touch the rectangular thing, it works on the whole handle! That’s actually pretty neat, so when you park and go out of the park, I just fist bump the handle and voilà. It’s a lot easier than looking for the rectangular thingy and tap it with your finger.

[@npoleary]

Haha a fist bump! Yes some models I’ve noticed are a little more sensitive (in a good way) than others so you can use it all over the handle 👍🏼

Hey Nick , Just suggestion for some topics : 1. Enable wireless apple car play in NTG 6 and prior by using some external device 2. Tip on maintenance topics (this could be detail series ) ? 3. Information about Service A and Service B (mandatory changes )

[@npoleary]

Hey Pankaj, yes absolutely working on number one at the moment 🤓 Number two is a good idea For servicing it’s different for every model so is quite tricky! You can check individual servicing etc on www.mymercedesservice.co.uk

Hi Nick, your videos are very good 👍 i was wondering if you can advise on the MB infotainment system. I find the icons are very small, does MB have a feature to make the icons bigger as they are very small/tiny to read especially on the right hand side of the screen.’

[@npoleary]

Hello. Have in one of ur videos covered the situation where I by mistake shift direction from drive to reverse with the “gear shift stalk”. It could happen as it in the place of the windscreen wipers stalk on other cars

[@npoleary]

On what if you pop the gear stick up into neutral while driving? I haven’t but the car won’t let you put it into reverse while driving. It’ll only go into Neutral. Just pop it back in drive and you’re good to go 😎

[@Danoz-j8r]

Another great video Nick, thanks. Here's an odd one that I'm hoping you might be able to help me out with - windscreen wipers not returning to the 'park' position on engine shutdown. I've got a 2021 E-class and had a 2016 C-class before that, and both have this 'feature' whereby (when it's raining outside) the windscreen wipers in auto mode do not turn off and return to the 'park' position when I turn off the vehicle but remain inside. The only option is that the wipers stop immediately when I open my driver's door but they do not then automatically ‘park’. My only option, it seems to me, is to turn off the wipers manually before existing (like an animal), or else try to time it justtttt right to open my door. Mercedes DO allow for the correct procedure of wipers parking, it is just initiated at the incorrect point of the vehicle turn-of sequence and only when a passenger exits, not on engine shut down. If wipers did park when ignition is turned off but I am yet to exit the vehicle and wanted them to activate again, I could turn the car back on to accessories but without vehicle ignition. Turning the car back on to accessories to have wipers working again after engine shut down is how just about every car since the late 70s has handled it and they have all managed to not have windscreen wipers parked in the middle of the windscreen. Why does Mercedes not handle this correctly? I am in Australia and hence a right hand drive, if that makes any difference. Thanks.

[@npoleary]

Hey Damon, thank you! Yes I’ve seen that on a few models before. I think the newer ones do complete a wipe before returning to Park. Not sure why they do that but I guess it’s the way it’s configured on the car’s electronics.

[@Danoz-j8r]

@@npoleary Thank you very much for your reply and confirming I wasn't just missing something obvious. Though I was hoping that with your inside knowledge, you might have known of some hidden option somewhere, kind of like In And Out Burger's secret menu 😆

Hi Nick. New to CLA coupe. Loving it. Learning alot from the vids. I wanted to know if I can start the car remotely from Mercedes Me app? If so how, please?

[@npoleary]

Ah nice! Sadly it’s not available everywhere round the world (I’ve not seen it before) and certainly not available in the UK. I believe it’s allowed in America in certain states but not here in the UK. Although I should add plug-in hybrids and All-Electric cars have Pre-Entry Climate Control which can help!

[@abylodge946]

Thank you. I was asking for that particular reason to get the car warm and ready and obviously with no entry to anyone. So mercedes don't have the option except in electric cars or versions.

[@npoleary]

No sadly not in the UK, it depends where you’re based so might be best to chat to Mercedes if you’re based elsewhere 🤓

[@akamu1051]

Hi nick , Dose mersedes me car tracker consider as vehicle tracker for insurance purposes? Appreciate it if give us some info . Thanks.

[@npoleary]

You’ll have to ask the insurance company that’s up to them. In most cases they’ll say no, but worth an ask. They’ll need this info, it’s not a Category S5 or anything like that. It is a GPS tracker and can be switched on / off by the driver if they know where to look. Better to be transparent, yes you could get cheaper insurance in some cases but if they found out something that wasn’t declared they could void the insurance. No one wants that.

[@selroberts594]

Hi Nick, As a keen viewer of your videos, perhaps you can help? I have a 2019 plate C200, and have Mercedes me on my Samsung smartphone. The app now informs me that the driver's window is open. A physical check shows that all windows are closed. Activating the 'Close' command on my phone sends a request to my phone But II gat a response that it is unable to execute the command since "windows/roof have not been adjusted accordingly" Main dealer and Mercedes me support have been unhelpful. Shortly before this happened I pressed the lock and unlock command on my key (Can't remember why) so I don't know if this caused an error. Any comments please? Cheers Sel Roberts

[@npoleary]

It shouldn’t have done, have you tried putting all the windows down and back up? If that doesn’t work I’d advise chatting with Mercedes me support, they might be able to run diagnostics remotely 🤓

[@selroberts594]

Thanks Nick, I tried phoning and emailing Mercedes and Mercedes Me without success. I didn't try the contact button in the car. HOWEVER, I tried various options/combinations of buttons on the key fob, and eventually found that holding lock and unlock simultaneously, I regained control, and all works as previously. Thanks for your help. Keep up the good work!

[@ski1963]

Hi How do I find the list of direct commands? And is there a list of know commands it should understand?

Long as you have the newer MBUX generation, it’ll be under HOME, SETTINGS, SYSTEM and then under the Hey Mercedes settings if I remember.

[@ski1963]

@@npoleary Thanks, the list of what the MBUX understand is longer than what's under settings. It understands turning on/off heated stearingwheel, same for heated seats and also handling the sunroof. So it just to try out different things.

Hi Nick I have recently bought a Mercedes glb 200 amg premium and it doesn’t seem to have a wireless charger in the middle console I was told it had one on the premium is this correct one more thing I was thinking of buying a stoplock for the steering wheel but not sure which one will fit pro or pro elite had different advice about which one fits etc. Any advice appreciated

[@npoleary]

Hey Becan, specs to vary round the world so you’ll have to speak with Mercedes to find out the exact specifications etc. I haven’t seen wireless charging for quite a while now on GLB. All Mercedes lock the steering wheel anyway when the car is switched off but I haven’t ever seen one in person so wouldn’t know if any of them are any good. You might have reach out to the people who make them and see if they fit Mercedes steering wheels.

Is NTG6 still updating from MB? Or only new restyling versione with NTG7?

[@npoleary]

MBUX NTG 6 will always get map updates or security and bug fixes from what I’ve heard. Of course you’ll need a valid subscription from the Mercedes me store for map updates called the Navigation Package for that 🤓

[@warelott]

clearly - I already have that! I meant whether updates will ever be released that introduce new features and new options or whether they will remain prerogative of the new restylings

Ah sadly not seen any features added since I’ve reviewed Mercedes back in 2020 but I do own one now so if anything is added via updates, I’ll let everyone know!

Tx Nick. I have a GLE350DE 2022. Recently on German motorways without limit. The top speed the car reached was 185km/h or 115mph. As soon as it reached that speed it did not go higher , sounded like there was a limit set. It was the same for up hill , down hill or flat horizontal . The GLE350 DE manual states maximum speed it is 210km/h. Do you know if cars in U.K have a top speed limit set up as default ? How can it be changed to reach the manufacture limit ?
