[@johngrimshaw3013]

Hi Nick, glad you’ve got the motor back, I’m looking forward to your review of dash cameras in the new year, also one for next year, mobile phone holders to fit Mercedes, particularly my GLA 250e. Have a great Christmas and keep up the good work 🎉

[@npoleary]

Me too! And have a good Christmas! Still got a couple of videos this year yet! 🤓

[@mohammadtariq1541]

Congratulations, keep enjoying it but with care, Nick ❤

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏🤓

[@edwarddrought4355]

Nick, I’m so grateful for your videos. I’ve been following you for quite a while now, and I’ve learned so many tips and tricks from watching them. Things that, otherwise you’d never know because for some reason, Mercedes don’t give any information as to what’s actually built into their cars I’m on my 3rd Mercedes and wouldn’t buy any other , ( although in my experience, Mercedes dealership service really doesn’t live up to the hype ! ). The fact that you make these videos yourself is amazing , but it’s your presentation, your style , your personality, that really keeps me coming back for more. And for that , I thank you. ( btw , glad you got your car back in tip top condition ). I think you made an excellent choice on your spec btw. I’ve got a 2019 c220d coupe premium plus ,and am wary about using the panoramic sunroof because of issues on my last car , and if I’m being totally honest , I can’t really feel the benefit of the Burmester sound system ! Keep up the good work Eddie

[@npoleary]

Wow thanks for sharing Eddie, it’s comments like this that make my day! So glad you love the videos! I’m actually planning really good content for next year so they’ll continue to come through! And I might do a behind the scenes video one day! And a huge thanks to you for the Super Thanks! Hope you have an awesome Christmas and a good new year! There’s one more video today for this year at 4pm 👀

[@apostolosts3412]

So happy for you! Enjoy your like new car!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏

[@shoregrl20]

Very very interested in learning about the built-in dashcam option for my car as I really want one but do not want to add external hardware, thx Nick! Thank you for all the content, you have been a lifesaver after my new C300 purchase! Happy Holidays to you and your family!

[@npoleary]

[@user-lg9if6fi4w]

Hello Nick, It would be amazing if you could do a review of the facelifted CLA. Thanks. Good news about you car. Nice colour choice.

[@sunrise7236]

[@1Mattza]

great you have your car back Nick, great channel too. I have a new CLA200 night edition and love it. Im very interesed in the dash cam info your about to send out on the New Year. All the very best.🎄

[@npoleary]

Awh thank you! 🙏 me too! Actually it’s already been filmed and is available for members Otherwise it’ll be the first week of Jan Plus I’ve got a bonus Christmas video ready today later in the afternoon! 👀 Merry Christmas to you too! And have a good New Year!

[@Irina-dc6nc]

Hi Nick! What a great idea to review the dash cam! It's a must-have gadget now to have in the car! Sorry about the crush, but very happy that your car is now been fixed and no one got hurt. Thank you for your videos, you helped me a lot with your tips! Thank you very much and happy holidays! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! :)

[@npoleary]

Ah yes! Well it’s actually already been filmed and posted for members to watch so anyone can go join and see it early. Or it’ll go public the first week of January. Hopefully everyone enjoys it, it’s quite in depth! 🤓 Glad you’ve been enjoying the videos! Merry Christmas to you too and happy new year! 🥳

[@panda756]

I have this car and love it. Feels like a genuine upgrade from my Fiesta MK8

[@user-dl8uu1me5o]

You are my go to for information on Mercedes. It’s been a great source of information and tips. I didn’t think however that I would end up copying you! Three month old EQA and I managed to bash two doors badly. My fault. However all fixed now and back as good as new. Keep up the good work.

[@npoleary]

Awh thank you! Oh no hopefully it didn’t take too long! 🙏

[@user-ec3uv5kc3f]

Nick, glad you got your car back. Just started watching and subscribed. Waiting for my 2024EQE 500. Should arrive in January. Love your show. Very helpful!! Cheers Steve

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome thanks Steve! Glad you enjoy the videos! 🤓🙏

[@pault8734]

Nice video again Nick. But moreover so pleased for you that you have your treasured drive back. Happy Xmas & a safe New Year buddy.

[@npoleary]

Yeah me too! Glad it’s back! Thank you 🙏 And you Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

[@colinnicol9447]

I just bought my Mercedes 180 premier plus about 4 weeks ago and installed my next base 522 with external rear camera. Unlike you Nick. I wired it down the driver pillar then across the underside of the dash and along the underside of the tunnel. Bored a small hole into the storage compartment and fed the cable into the usb c outlet. Also ran the exterior rear camera cable along the top of the door pillars and fitted the rear camera sited straight out of the rear window. Works a treat. I also installed the speed cameras as described in your video. Could not have completed that without your advice. Thank you. My trade in car was the A200D and I watched my Top Gear videos in that car, but my new car would not recognise them. Found out that my old car did not have Apple car play and accepted AVI and mp4 but new car because it has car play is configured to mp4 only. I just converted my AVI Top Gear videos to mp4 and they play perfectly. My set up is as follows. The compartment over the tunnel houses my next base dash cam in one usb and the speed cameras usb in the other. The Top Gear pen drive is in the usb slot under the dash. Thanks for the very informative videos.

[@npoleary]

An awesome thanks for sharing! Ah top gear, I need to watch some more of those again! That’s a good setup! 🙏🤓

[@darryl1139]

Great news you got your car back. Hope you have a great Christmas mate 😀

[@npoleary]

Thank you! And you! Hoping to squeeze one more video in yet before the end of the year 🤓

[@deejay1169]

Happy and safe motoring, Nick.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏

[@proomster]

I use a FitCamX dashcam (for my IONIQ 5) but they do custom dashcams for every vehicle that look OEM in the rear view mirror housing. Highly recommend!

[@npoleary]

Ooo nice! I’ll check them out 👍🏼

[@GameCubeGuru]

Bro that was fast I’m glad you got it back man I hope you are happy

[@npoleary]

Yeah so happy! 🙏🤓🙏🤓

[@vazmo35]

Congratulations, I'm glad she's back.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Me too!

[@JPEnjoi]

Glad the car is back! 🤙

[@npoleary]

Yeah me too! 🤓🙏🤓

[@joniangelsrreal6262]

Just in time for the Holidays Congratulations…🎄❤️🕎 Safe travels to you…!

[@npoleary]

Woooo! Thank you! 🙏 and you!

[@davidwellings2783]

Heartbreaking….! Glad it’s back in one piece, looks like they did a great job! Love the looks of the A Class - mine sadly had the most rattley dashboard ever! On my second GLB 220D AMG now - brilliant car! Your Mercedes ‘how to’s’ are fantastic - cheers!🥰😂🍷🍷

[@npoleary]

I know…just glad no one was hurt But glad it’s back! 🙏🤓 I know me too! Glad you love the videos! They’ll be more coming soon!

[@labilabi678]

Well done for getting your car back . I have fitted BlackVue 970X LTE, 2 channels . But I have previous version of BlackVue which been trying to sell apart of one to keep as replacement in case my current one packs . Get notifications and videos to the app any time an event happens .

[@npoleary]

Any nice that’s good! Might check that brand out too when I make a video on dashcams!

[@petedee7847]

Hi Nick - new to the channel, and very much enjoyed this video, and your others, invaluable information for a new c300e owner! Your car looks fantastic and glad all signs of damage have gone. Great to hear you will be covering the MB Dashcam priced option at a later date, as it is something I am considering, but not much information on it.

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! I produce one throughout the week and usually publish on Friday at 4pm. Will be a Christmas Special soon! I’ve actually covered it, basically as I do KZbin full-time: - Subscribing is free (for notifications of new uploads etc) kzbin.info/door/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucw Members however get access to videos uploaded weeks in advance and a couple of extra perks to help support me on my channel: kzbin.info/door/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucwjoin The Dashcam 2024 one is there for members or if you’re happy to wait, I’m aiming first week of Jan for the video to go public 🙏

[@andydurnell8703]

Well done Nick waiting for the dash cam reviews can you do reviews on front and rear cameras have a good Christmas 👍

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Yeah I’ll defo check them out! 🙏🤓

[@laurencefrederick9772]

Nick I got the same car as you but mines a 2 yr old exec A35. You should have got one because it’s such a blast. Engine pros outweigh the premium benefits by a mile

[@ianja1010-wu9fq]

Glad u got your jam jar back Nick - think I’m on my 4th A Class now!

[@npoleary]

Me too! Aha check you out! Probably an expert then? 👀😜

[@ianja1010-wu9fq]

@@npoleary nah doubt that - still learning & great that u do your videos!

[@vijayjoe3084]

Nice to see you get your car back nice and pristine, Christmas present I suppose 🙂. I got the Nextbase 322GW front & rear, got it fitted by a Nextbase engineer as it seemed quite fiddly to hide away the wires to the rear cam, they did a pretty good job. Looking forward to your dash cam review. Have a lovely Christmas 🎉

[@npoleary]

I’m glad too! Haha yeah! 🤓 Ah yes I’ve seen that one, I’m pretty sure I’ll include front and rear camera options when check out dashcams (I’ve heard it can be fiddly!) And you! 🤓

[@joeclifford4953]

Lovely car. Well done 👏

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏

[@xanderdixon3688]

Loveing the cinematic stuff now,really well done. Iv been looking at the new nextbase cameras out,where you can remotely activate them and look to see what they can see as mines the same as yours it doesn’t hold the charge any more iv had it for years now.

[@npoleary]

Aha 😌 glad you enjoyed it! 🤓 Hope to cover some throughout the year, need to upgrade mine!

[@energylab227]

Awesome Nick! I spent £300 on a black gloss vinyl wrap for the roof and wing mirrors on my A200 and it totally changes the look. It looks much sportier now, similar to my GLC200 with the Night pack.

[@npoleary]

Yeah I would have loved a Nightpack for mine! 😜

[@Markyreg]

Hi Nick ! Pleased to hear you’ve got your car back. It’s looking fresh out of the showroom. Good news indeed 👌👍

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏 Me too! 🙏🤓

[@talalalkindy3037]

NICE TO HAVE YOUR CAR BACK, STAY SAFE

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Will do! 🤓🙏

[@tuncaycomert2440]

I'm very happy for you. I hope you never encounter such a bad situation again. After all, you work hard too, take care of your own business. Say hi to your car 😀😀👏👏

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Yeah I hope so too! 🙏🙏

[@davewesley11]

So made up for ya Nick ya got ya car back. Someone crashed into me years back i had the scirocco storm GTI. I was gutted, it was a right off but i bought it back and got it back on the road. But it took ages to get sorted. So looking forward to you doing the dash cam revue I've been meaning to get one since i bought my car about three years ago, still haven't got round to getting one. So will be interesting to see your up coming vid to see which is best and i might eventualy get one ;)

[@npoleary]

Thank you! I’m so glad it’s back too! I’ve already published the Dashcam video for my KZbin members: kzbin.info/door/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucwjoin But it’ll be publicly available early 2024 😜 For loads of cool stuff planned for next year too!

[@stuartbaker4444]

Hi Nick good video have a Merry Christmas. Glad the cars back and OK now. I’m using a Garmin mini DC 2. As I paid for the inbuilt one but you have to remember to turn it on every time you start the car. I put it on a shortcut but still forgot. Then I car came at me on the wrong side of the road and I had to swerve up the pavement luckily a low kerb no damage!or pedestrians as in the countryside. So I bought the Garmin. It’s so small you can hardly see it works well. Cheers Stuart

[@npoleary]

Thanks for sharing Stuart! Merry Christmas to you too! I want to squeeze one more video in yet before the end of the year. In fact way ahead of you! 👀 I already purchased the MBUX Dashcam and filmed it and published to my members section on KZbin (so one of the first videos of 2024).

[@TheRja22]

Hi Nick, glad you’ve got your car back looks great. I had the same back in 2013 it was same colour with a panoramic roof. I’m interested to seeing the video on the Mercedes dash cam , I’m thinking of purchasing one ( can’t stand wires everywhere.) Great vids as usual. Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎄

[@sparty328]

Hi, I have the in built Mercedes dash cam as it came enabled with the car. The main advantage is it’s already incorporated within the assorted sensors and video devices at the top centre of the windscreen so no wires. Both night and day time quality is good. The main downfalls are 1. There’s only a front camera, 2. You have to manually enable it each time by saying ‘Start dash cam recording’ , 3. The cost, compared to buying a premium off the shelf unit, 4. Unlike a standalone unit you cannot transfer it to another vehicle not even another Mercedes, you would have to pay again. Hope this helps.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Yeah I’m glad it’s back too! I’ve actually already recorded it and uploaded it 👀 As I do KZbin full time, subscribing is free but paying members (who help support my channel) can see the videos early 😌 Otherwise keep an eye out for a very detailed review of the dashcam on the first week of 2024! Think I may squeeze one more video in this year too! 😎

[@AndyPriceVideos]

Nice video Nick, I bought a good dash cam and with a kit I piggy backed a fuse in the passenger footwell and feed it up like you have. I looked at the Mercedes one ( I have a white 250 A class) it for me was too expensive. So I wired my own one in. It’s excellent quality. Made by Transcend.

[@npoleary]

Ah thanks for sharing! That’s another make that might be good to check out 🙏

[@MrWestcliffe]

I'm glad you have the car back Nick. I have an old dash cam also and probably will be replacing it soon. But can you not plug into your boot 12v outlet? I have mine that way, and it's very neat. Only cable is visible in the boot behind the rear seats. But I will definitely be looking out for the dash cam reviews. Have nice Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@npoleary]

Thank you me too! Ah I’ll check all of that out when I get round to checking out some Dashcams! 🤓 Merry Christmas to you too & Happy New Year 👍🏼

[@agnieszkaps5675]

It’s so clever to connect the dash cam this way, I have done mine like that too.😊👍🏻

[@BammBammZeroOne]

Nick, congratulations on getting your car back. I agree you should do one on the Mercedes own dashcam.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏 Already have! 👀 I bought it and have checked it out already 🤫 My KZbin Members have access to videos weeks before it goes public, but everyone will see it early 2024! Nice little good video to start the year!

[@user-gp8tm3pt5k]

Great videos, Nick. BTW, in the US, the dashcam can be set to automatically start. I have a 2024 GLE with NTG7.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Ah that’s good! 👍🏼

[@loayrashwan8243]

Congratulations mate! please be always careful driving this beautiful car ;)

[@npoleary]

Oh I always am! ☺️ Thank you!

[@matthewwindsor5010]

Hi Nick! So glad you’ve got your car sorted now. I’ve got the same model, the same colour but my interior’s Sage Grey - love it! What do you think of the Sage Grey? You mentioned in your video that you plug your phone in to charge when using Apple car play - couldn’t you just use the wireless charging dock? Hope you’re enjoying the sound system - I think it’s fantastic! Thanks for the tip about disabling the pin - I won’t need to bother with that anymore!👌Have a great Christmas!

[@npoleary]

I know me too! I nice, I’d always personally go black for the interior but I do appreciate a lighter interior at least for choice for others! I could use wireless charging but a cable will always charge faster so happy to do it that way. Glad you enjoyed the tip! And you have an awesome Christmas!

[@besottedferrarista4466]

Hey Nick Merry Christmas from Australia 🎄🇦🇺 Great content & very informative, love the detail you go into! Looking forward to the dashcam video next year. I have a BlackVue camera which has front & rearward facing cameras in my 458 Italia. It also has a backup battery pack with motion sensors that allows for about 10hrs of recording while it’s parked. I’m looking at purchasing the Merc CLE when it launches here in Australia in Q3 2024. I hope you do a comparison between aftermarket dashcams & the built in system in a Mercedes that utilises the surround cameras. From what I’ve seen on content such as yours & others is you have to manually start it every trip, which would be a pain. Hopefully Merc has an update to allow for auto recording. Anyhow once again have a great Xmas & glad you’ve got you Merc back in new condition👍🏻 Cheers Steve

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Ooo very nice! Heard good things about the BlackVue stuff so will probably check them out. Ooo yes CLE I’m hoping will get some coverage soon, looks to be an interesting car! Well actually funny you should mention it, I’ve already covered the new version of the dashcam which I’ve published to members on my channel. Basically as I do KZbin full-time: - Subscribing is free (for notifications of new uploads etc) kzbin.info/door/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucw Members however get access to videos uploaded weeks in advance and a couple of extra perks to help support me on my channel: kzbin.info/door/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucwjoin So you can see it early but…it’ll be available publicly first week of the new year 🙏👍🏼 so not long to go!

[@user-lz5fv4fq4k]

Hi Nick really pleased you have got your Mercedes back, that was a very quick turn around from insurance to full repair. One thing I wanted to ask is you mentioned fitting a dash cam to the front of your car, I would also like one for the rear, will you also cover this. I know you can use the Mercedes camera in the car for the front but there is not one for the rear. Love your you tube channel, good luck for 2024. Cheers Glenn

[@npoleary]

I know super speedy from the point of booking it in to be repaired! The claim process is longer and ongoing but at least the car is back 👍🏼 Yes absolutely, I’ll check out the rear cameras too!

[@mariam-NKN]

😍😍😍😍😍The most beautiful mercedes car

[@jansimonteambondi143]

Great video. Excellent you have your car back and in top condition. It must have been heart breaking to see your new car smacked like that. I've the B180 as Mercedes Australia only imported the 1.3lt turbo for the B Class (they have stopped importing the B Class entirely now - bad decision as us oldies want a higher riding car that the A Class and don't want an SUV). I reached 4.6l/100km on a trip from Sydney to Brisbane - never thought an ICE car could get such fuel economy. Thanks heaps for your channel and Merry Christmas

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah I’m glad it’s back too! Hopefully they re-introduce it again! 🙏

[@FrankCrow]

That's great! Looks perfect! I have a 2024 GLE and it has the same MBUX and a mouse pad. I have the augmented reality and I got the dash cam too. You know that a couple weeks ago, Mercedes Me notified me that my car was hit while parked! So I hurried over and apparently the car in front of me must have tapped the front bumper. Mercedes Me says "Damage Detected" but I don't see a scratch thankfully. Thanks for the tip about the PIN code! I did not know that! I am woefully delinquent on reading the owner's manual. I'm going to turn that on, next time I get in the car!

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome thank you! Ah very nice! I haven’t actually covered that one yet so hoping to soon! 😜 Yes these cars are very clever now! 👀 Hoping to cover some more tips and tricks in the future! 🤓

[@robevans-zs4zo]

Hi Nick Really interested to see the built in dash cam review, been looking at it for a while but unsure whether to purchase it!

[@npoleary]

Already recorded and published but at the moment it’ll be for members! 👀 Basically as I do KZbin full-time: - Subscribing is free (for notifications of new uploads etc) kzbin.info/door/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucw Members however get access to videos uploaded weeks in advance and a couple of extra perks to help support me on my channel: kzbin.info/door/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucwjoin The Dashcam one is live for them but I’ll release publicly in the new year, so not long to go! 😛

[@shonalove553]

Haven’t used the aug reality feature in my car yet, it’s one I totally forget about as with the heads up display!! Haven’t used that yet either. Interested to see whether the Mercedes Dashcam is worth it. I like my Nextbase one (622GW) but their app is awful, trying to retrieve footage via the app is a total nightmare !! I’ve had my EQA for 2 months now but really do need to sit down and play with the features! Glad to see your car is back in one piece!

[@npoleary]

I know I’ve used their app before “transferring via high speed connection” is anything but high speed! I’ll be checking out dashcams and retrieving footage fast will be on my list of things to check! I’ve actually already filmed, edited and published the new dashcam video but for members at the moment. Basically as I do KZbin full-time: - Subscribing is free (for notifications of new uploads etc) kzbin.info/door/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucw Members however get access to videos uploaded weeks in advance and a couple of extra perks to help support me on my channel: kzbin.info/door/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucwjoin So I aim to release the dashcam video in the first week of 2024 🙏

[@stephentann358]

Glad you have your new car back repaired & you would not know it had been damaged.

[@npoleary]

Hi nick.. love the videos .. can you please make a video showing how to adjust the headlight distance on a 2022 cla class, i feel my lights are not showing enough in front which driving at night is hard ... ive youtubed a way to change, also chexked mercedes webaite manual, even in the car settings but cannot find how to change it

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them! Sadly there isn’t a way to do this in settings on the car as LED lights on most Mercedes will self level. But if you don’t think something’s right, get in touch with them and I’m sure they’ll be able to help 🙏

Nick, replace your rear Mercedes badge with a gloss black one. I did this on both my white cars and it makes a huge difference. I got mine for about £20 from eBay.

[@npoleary]

Ah nice that’s a good idea! 🤓🙏

[@RudraPrasadGuha]

Hey Nick, very sorry that you had an incident. But its all well that everything is fine at the end. I hope you are enjoying your car, have you found out where they hid the sunglasses place which used to be near the cabin lights at the front. But I couldn’t find it in my GLA and even my friends couldn’t find it in their new class c. So if you find where is the place for shades, do let me know. Have a happy and safe cruising. May the roads take you to all the cheerful places. Happy holidays 🎄

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Yeah exactly just glad no one was hurt but no sadly Mercedes don’t have that on UK cars anymore (it’s certainly not on mine). I just put mine in the driver’s door ☺️

[@johnemery7962]

Hi Nick. I was looking to change my car but didn't know what car to buy until I saw your informative videos. Last Monday I purchased a one year old A200 Amg Line From Chesterfield show room. This purchase is all down to you and one week later im so happy with my car I've got the biggest smile ever. Thanks so much and im happy your car is sorted.

[@npoleary]

Oh amazing thank you so much for sharing! Very nice! Yes I’m glad mine’s back too! Got loads of videos planned for 2024 too!

Hi Nick. Just wondered how you get on with the steering wheel buttons. I only deliver these cars so don't get chance to try much out, but I do struggle with scrolling on the new set-up

[@npoleary]

Most car manufacturers are starting to bring out these touch interfaces instead of dedicated buttons. I would personally prefer buttons but it of course wouldn’t and didn’t put me off buying one 😅 It’s just something you get used to after a while 🤓 I covered a bit more about it a few months ago on my 2,000 mile review of my car.

[@jonm9501]

Hi Nick… question regarding the headlights… is there a way to adjust the rake of the led dipped beams as mine seem to be pointed too low towards the ground? There isn’t a scroll wheel like found in other cars. Thanks

[@npoleary]

No sadly not, they self level automatically depending on the weight in the car. But I believe they can be adjusted by Mercedes technicians that I heard a few people mention in the comments sections on my videos 🤓

Hi Nick, love yr videos just one Qn, you say in this video that yr not an engineer, mechanic but do you work as a salesman in a Mercedes garage as when I fist saw yr vids they seem to be all merc vids. I’ve had 3 mercs my currently one is a late amg sports. Keep up the good work Nick. 👍

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them! No I don’t work for a manufacturer directly, I do some stuff for my local dealership on the side for some extra pennies with regards product stuff but my entire YT channel is just me. Filming, editing, producing, publishing and replying to comments is all me 🤓 Might do a behind the scenes video one day! 👀

[@xxxstanstillxxx]

Well, if I worked for any Mercedes garage the knowledge you seem to have about the cars I would definitely give you a job selling them. I’ve learned a lot in your videos and what you say. 👍

[@chrislugg5827]

Does the a class amg line premium plus have a heated steering wheel? I can’t find any information if it does.👍

[@npoleary]

No sadly not It’s very rare in Mercedes from what I’ve heard Only a couple of models have that feature

[@dadyougeek]

Nick any idea how to show petrol prices on the satnav and turn off dynamic select appearing on the main screen

[@npoleary]

Sadly not sure I’ve seen that on the Sat Nav these days, I think it was something on cars years ago but not sure it’s offered anymore. When you toggle dynamic select it’ll show on the screen what you’re changing it to and then go back seconds later. I believe it’ll always show on there multimedia system, not seen a way to turn it off on my car at least.

[@georgemegila9872]

Hi Nick, do you know if EQV has built in dashcam or can be purchased ? I was driving Mercedes almost 40 years, and never had any other car than Mercedes, so you made a good choice and got the Mercedes. I watched all your videos so thanks for that.

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome! Glad you enjoy the videos! It might do, depends on the spec of the car. If you ask Mercedes when enquiring with them, they can check for you as it varies round the world. Funny you say that, I’m one step ahead! 👀 Just recently recorded the video on the dashcam, KZbin members can see it now but it’ll be publicly available early 2024 🤓

[@vheverett]

Nick re: dash cams can you review a wireless one if they even exist ? Car looks great.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! I’ll be checking out a few I’m sure!

[@saffronexpress7131]

Hi Nick, just recently bought a Mercedes Benz CLA 220 (2022) I’ve watched so many of your videos, thanks for the helpful tips and tricks advice it’s helped me loads but one thing I can’t find is how do I adjust the headrest, it has sports seat can’t find any buttons that I can move it forward or backwards?? Thanks

[@npoleary]

Very nice! Ah it’ll be like my car the headrests are fixed like a race seat for styling. Due to the curvature of the seat, just tilt it back a bit more which may help. Glad you’re enjoying the videos! 🙏🙏

[@theogoyvaerts590]

Hi Nick, me again. Sorry, I've posted my reaction too soon. Didn't watched the whole video before I did. But when I saw you beginning to talk about augmented reality in your car I knew that I was too fast. An expert like you on Mercedes cars must know the option of a dashcam when you have that. Next time I'll watch the completed vid before posing anything 🫣. One of your Belgian fans 🇧🇪🇧🇪. Keep up the good work and looking forward to your result on the Mercedes dash cam. Happy Holidays

[@npoleary]

Ah I’m no expert 😅 always learning things as time goes on! Yes Dashcam I’m hoping to release first week of Jan 2024. Video’s already live for Members on my channel otherwise it’ll be after the New Year 🤓 Glad you enjoy the videos! I need to start working on more for Jan! Plus I’ll try and get one extra one out this year….

[@johnmcnamara2288]

Hi Nick,why are there no mudguards on the latest cla180?. My car drives on poor roads and gets dirty so often

[@npoleary]

Not seen any mudguards on any car manufacturer supplied from factory that I’ve received. Sadly not ever enquired into Mercedes to see if you can get them but give them a shout and see if they can order them or something.

[@CraigKell]

I put a FITCAMX in my GLB, seamless looks like the manufacturer put it in.

[@npoleary]

Not heard of that one, might add it to the list to check out

[@carlopoli9067]

Hi Nick. Such an interesting video! At 10:43 you refer to the dashcam available on your Mercedes A-180 class. It is my understanding that this is an after-market feature, which was not present when I purchased the car. I am telling you this because my Mercedes C-Class 220 does not have it (it was an after-market option that I preferred to put off), but by asking the dealer where I bought it in 2022, I received a negative answer, there is no possibility to mount any Mercedes dashcam (possibly only web-cams such as Garmin, etc., which however are not viewable on the car's MBUX). Could you please give me some advice? Your reference to augmented reality increases my interest in having a dash-cam!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! I have already covered this on the previous multimedia system at my local Mercedes showroom: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maKqnYKqic-gsJIsi=0rFvUOiAGN6mVfc1 But I wanted to cover it on the new one and this time on my car. It’s already filmed and published for members on my channel, but won’t be long and it’ll be public (the new 2024 version anyway). Aiming for first week of Jan 👍🏼

[@user-mr2tf9nd3m]

Good morning Nick, this morning I wanted to reverse out of my driveway but could not. The car stalled, as if the brake was still on it. Something then snapped and I could drive off. Do you have any idea what this is or should I just go to the garage before something really breaks.

[@npoleary]

Sometimes after washing a car or heavy rainfall, the water can cause slight adhesion on the brakes when they’re released which can be what you’ve described. Not sure on the stalled part though. If you think something’s wrong though just chat with Mercedes and they can take a look 👍🏼

[@user-mr2tf9nd3m]

Super Nick, thank you, that's it. The car was washed this weekend😁

[@npoleary]

Ah that can be why, it’ll just the hard water sometimes causing adhesion. It almost sounds like a loud “ping” when you drive off.

[@sunrise7236]

I got a touchpad .i got cla digital white also but it looks different

[@donaldsivewright903]

Glad you have your car back all fixed. On one of your earlier A class reviews I noted the problem I have with the rear camera opening and closing multiple times every time the car is started due to the camera having to go through a calibration sequence. MB say there is nothing that can be done about this but it is quite noisy and extremely irritating. Now that we are in the winter with dark nights I have discovered that the camera can’t complete the calibration in the dark so it opens and closes constantly instead of about 4 or 5 times and this has now become intolerable. I intend contacting MB about this again but I wondered if you have also noticed this and do you also find it extremely irritating.

[@npoleary]

I asked Mercedes this years ago and this is what they said. Reversing cameras used to be just mounted on the exterior exposed to the light conditions which made it show the image instantly. Because they were on the outside they got dirty very quickly. However newer styled cameras now have a retractable housing which is good for keeping it clean but the camera when it pops out has to expose for the light (daytime / nighttime / low light etc) and it can take seconds before it actually shows you an image. To combat this Mercedes will have the camera “pre-pop out” as you slow down so when you do select reverse, the image is shown instantly. Mine does it too and every car I’ve reviewed does as well, I wouldn’t say I found it annoying it’s just something happens with the tech on the car. So don’t worry, it’s not a fault.

[@donaldsivewright903]

That’s odd as the old A class didn’t do it and my C class doesn’t do it and I have never noticed any issues with the camera taking time to focus. Can’t understand how you don’t find the noise irritating - maybe you have music on and don’t notice it - I don’t listen to music in the car.

[@npoleary]

Ah yeah I always have music on or a podcast so haven’t really noticed it.

Hi Nick, just finished watching your vid, Just Got My Car Back. I was puzzled when you said you had disabled wireless car play in order to be able to charge your phone. Does your car have wireless charging? Regards Paul W

[@npoleary]

Yes it does but I prefer to charge using a cable especially as my phone has USB-C. It just charges faster. As I use my phone a lot for KZbin etc I can get through day’s battery pretty quickly so if there’s an option for faster charging, I’ll take it! 🙃

Hi Nick, don't you have the option to activate the dashcam of your Mercedes? Could be useful if you could 😎.

[@npoleary]

I do have that option! In fact if you wanted to see a sneak peak of it, I already purchased it. I do have a members only section for my channel to help support me but one of the huge perks is you get to see my videos weeks before everyone else. (It might be the first video of 2024 👀) 🤫🤫 It’ll be out then anyway 😎

[@BoulderDash24]

Hey nick. Does the reversing camera constantly open and close on your new car? Mine does it when I slow to under 15mph, so opens at roundabouts and traffic lights for no good reason. The dealer says it's supposed to do this, but it has to be a fault.

[@npoleary]

No it’s not a fault at all Yes mine and every Mercedes I’ve reviewed over the past couple of years does this. I asked Mercedes this years ago and this is what they said. Reversing cameras used to be just mounted on the exterior exposed to the light conditions which made it show the image instantly. Because they were on the outside they got dirty very quickly. However newer styled cameras now have a retractable housing which is good for keeping it clean but the camera when it pops out has to expose for the light (daytime / nighttime / low light etc) and it can take seconds before it actually shows you an image. To combat this Mercedes will have the camera “pre-pop out” as you slow down so when you do select reverse, the image is shown instantly.

[@BoulderDash24]

@@npoleary That's the nonsense that the dealer quoted. I'd understand if it came out at 5mph, but 15 is crazy. It's so noisy

[@npoleary]

I’ve not really noticed it to be honest Maybe it has something to do with the park assist on newer cars?

[@daniellel1620]

I have a 2020 A class SE. And I’m now deciding between AMG line executive A180 or A200. Why did you choose A180? And does the removed middle touchpad really make a difference? I don’t want to regret it

[@npoleary]

For me it was down to cost 🤓 I was going from a £200 a month car to just under £400 (at the time with the deposit and park exchange I traded in) So it was either Executive but an A200 or A180 with Premium. I would love to have gone for both but couldn’t quite stretch to that so went for the gadgets instead. Wish I did have an A200 though! Touchpad, yeah give a week or two and then you get used to it. Most cars only have one touch interface anyway 🤓

[@daniellel1620]

I’m currently on 299pm, plus service package 30pm with my A180 SE. So the new deal for AMG line works out similar or a little more, just under 400 yes depending on if I go for A180 or A200. I’m now thinking I’ll stick with A180. And Yeah I guess that’s right about the controls. But I never use the screen much as I don’t like the finger prints. And I’ll miss the map and media shortcut buttons. The buttons on the wheel looked better on the 2020-2022 models?! I see many people not liking the tray either. Decisions!! Thanks for the videos!

[@npoleary]

Haha no worries! 😉

[@TheCraftedDragon]

Nick, what are your thoughts on the acoustic comfort package and if you opted for it on your vehicle?

[@npoleary]

Sadly specs vary round the world like massively. That doesn’t exist in the UK What is it?

[@TheCraftedDragon]

@@npoleary The Acoustic Comfort Package, as described, encompasses double-laminated glass windows and additional sound insulation in key interior areas. I wonder if your vehicle have similar features from the acoustic comfort package?

[@npoleary]

@TheCraftedDragon oh right when I was looking at the spec and choosing it at my local dealer, that didn’t exist and it certainly didn’t exist in the brochure. Always amazes me how spec varies round the world, depends on the country that it’s sold in

[@RogueViper101]

Hi Nick, I bought the dashcam app on my 2023 EQB, but couldn't get it working consistently. It would often not detect the new 64GB USB type C drive i bought. It worked twice in 14 days, before I finally gave up and asked for a refund. I did contact Mercedes support, but never heard anything from them. Also tried the USB in exFAT and NTFS formats, no difference. The USB works perfectly in my Mac and Windows desktop. Have you ever heard of this issue?

[@npoleary]

It can depend on the memory stick, you MUST have good read / write speeds so it needs to be a pretty fast one. Trust me, running my KZbin channel and operating multiple cameras recording in 4k and 5k, memory cards are something I have to pay over the top for (it hurts with the price of some of them! Haha 😂) Handily though you don’t one that fast for in the car, sadly Mercedes don’t provide the specs but the one I’ve tested on the Dashcam video releasing soon works absolutely fine: amzn.to/3TpZgX8 If you phone them, you’ll get a faster response rather than email. I had a questions about something the other day and they picked up within 5 mins. I rang them from the app Menu, Help, Contact Support 🤓
