Absolutely, this allows you to use Apple CarPlay and/or charge your phone in the car 🤓

[@davesmith5656]

It would have been nice if you had told us which Mercedes you were demonstrating in.

[@npoleary]

Ah this video isn’t specially on a single Mercedes, this is on the multimedia system. It’s found in loads of Mercedes. What model do you have and I can let you know which one is the right one.

[@davesmith5656]

@@npoleary ---- The system varies with models (classes), packages, and also with years and updates. I have the manual for mine, thank you. Is there anything wrong with stating the model and year you are demonstrating on? Some viewers other than myself might find it interesting to compare, and have the names of packages especially if they are in the market to buy, and know what comes with each. It's somewhat like demonstrating Windows, which varies significantly from version to version. In Mercedes, the hardware varies from model to model, too. It might be worth a separate video just comparing versions. One item in specific I'm curious about, that I have not found any mention of, is the location of the microphone.

I am a huge fan of your videos. Really like this comprehensive E2E one. I learned new things, like phone book name order, or navigation extra tips. In an improvement perspective, you missed a nice one for radio, to list "text information", you share on another video you have. My suggestion, you should use this video to link to ALL other your videos, at the right point you talk about it... so even if you "repeating" information from those videos, we (husband) can always share the shorter one with our wife ;-) I truly like your sincerity of what works for you and not. Kudos! Be well and stay safe!! Amazing work!!!

You are absolutely right Tiago! I’ll add the radio text info to the description on extra things that I didn’t cover! And yes I’ve added a few callout cards at the top of the videos but I know depending on the app you’re using it may not always show. I’ve got a couple already on there from Driving Assistance Package to, Apple CarPlay etc I think I linked 5 which is the max limit you can do on KZbin 🤓

Hi Nick, I have enjoyed many of you videos. Shame I only found them recently as I could have used them for my two previous Mercedes. I heard you say iPhones don't have NFC in this video, from what I understand that is not true. Please see the following. All the iPhones released in recent years have NFC. In fact, every iPhone since iPhone 6, which came out in 2014, has a built-in NFC chip. If you need details just to be sure, here’s the whole list of iPhones that are NFC-enabled: iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2nd Gen) iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max iPhone XR iPhone X iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone SE Pease keep the videos coming they are all interesting.

[@npoleary]

Hey Andy, thank you! Yes I remember slightly! It was in reference to that you can't use NFC to pair phones via Bluetooth etc. I think I may have phrased it incorrectly but yes you're right, ever since iPhone 6 you've been able to use NFC although background NFC reading and writing has been available since iPhone XR. It was also locked to just Apple Pay for quite a while too!

Nick, fantastic videos. I am in the U.S. and picked up my fully optioned E450 4matic three weeks ago. If it weren’t for you I would be lost. Thanks to your videos I am telling the sales person how things work. Having had BMW for the last 12 (2 650 coupes and 2 750s) the MBUX is a major learning curve and one thing I have not been able to figure out is how to name a destination favorite as I could do with BMW and you mentioned at 10:40 of your full MBUX walkthrough guide. For instance, my daughter’s house address, I saved it as a favorite but I want to see “Kristen’s House” as the label such as I see Work or Home in favorites. How can I do this? I can’t find it in the owners manual nor does the dealer know. Thank you again

[@npoleary]

Thanks Rich! Haha glad you’re liking the videos! Ah okay, so I’m hoping the U.S. vehicles have the same button locations! 😅 First of all save your Sat Nav destinations in your favourites, then press the Star button located in the centre console. From here find your favourite you want to change and hold your finger on the icon on the screen. You should see a menu pop up, from here you can rename them to anything you’d like. Hope that helps :)

[@edwardtucker9785]

Hi Nick - new car for wife collected this morning and found that navigation instructions somehow seemed a bit late. This especially so on a large complex and busy roundabout where the 'take next turning' type instruction came a bit late for comfort. Prior to that I think the system did initially say take 3rd, 4th, etc. exit when joining the roundabout. Also where turnoffs are quite closely spaced you don't want to be told to turn off too soon. But, Is there any way to fine tune the extent of such advance warning? I use a late TomTom device myself and the advance warning somehow seems a bit better timed / more relaxed than the Mercedes system on wife's A200. I've seen your excellent MBUX full guide so suspect there no option to change the advance warning - like there is on some speed camera apps. Advice appreciated.

[@npoleary]

Ooo nice! No sadly not I’ve not seen a setting for that on any Sat Nav thinking about it, but good idea though! 🤓 I’ve seen settings for early, medium and late for others things but sadly not Sat Nav instructions

[@kensmith8571]

Thank you for the video and hello from across the pond. My wife and I are awaiting our 2020 GLE450 with E-ABC and was a great video for MBUX. Would you like some topics for other videos? We would love to see the Easy Entry/Exit in action, not just how to set it up. Also the would love to see the Lower When Getting In function, selection and the actual operation. Can these functions be set as default functions or must they selected every time? Watched nearly all of your videos and enjoyed each one. Thank you again.

[@npoleary]

Hi Ken, Of course the easy entry and exit function basically just moves the seat and steering wheel out of the way when you turn the car off. When you get back in, it’ll go back the way you had it. The lower when getting in function is quite cool, although I didn’t mention it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpLEkmCmgrR4ftU I do show the suspension lowering all the way down and all the way back up.

Aha thanks A Gupta! Glad you like the videos! I’ll try and keep them coming! Pretty much all of the settings I covered in the video are saved per user of MBUX when you make profiles. At least that’s how it is on UK Spec cars! I presume it should be the same on USA cars too!

Hi Nick, I have C-Class on order, and I am finding your videos extremely interesting while I am waiting for it. Superb insight into what I am looking forward to. (Although I suspect I will be waiting a while...) A quick question on the Sat-Nav component of MBUX. When I am planning journeys in advance I tend to enter destinations and waypoints into my present Sat-Nav system as coordinates, (ie. 50.382135, -3.596105), rather than as street names, POIs or Postcodes, because I find that they are far more accurate and specific. So, is it possible to enter destinations into MBUX as coordinates please? I didn't spot any mention of coordinates in the complete walkthrough video.

[@npoleary]

Hey Robin, ooo very nice! And thank you glad you love the videos! No sadly coordinates are slowly being phased out but Mercedes do have What3Words integration when linked to your Mercedes me account: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH68k3djZsl_jqs These are very accurate and might help! 🤓

Hi Nick, I collected my new E200 coupe Friday, and your videos are so helpful. Question regarding the navigation system: I couldn't find a way to add a "current location" where the car is, as a favourite. Is it lacking? Tomtom offers this feature which is very neat. Thanks again. Kim

[@npoleary]

Hey ikura72, thank you! Glad you’re loving the videos! Is it a new E-Class with MBUX (the one with the Hey Mercedes voice assistant). You can also tell if you have MBUX if your multimedia system has a touch screen 🤓 Let me know and I can give you the right instructions 👍🏼

[@ikura72]

@@npoleary hi Nick, it is a brand new last model of e200 coupé, with the newest MBUX. Seriously, there are so many electronic features and options, that I would be completely lost without your videos and tutorials. You are clear, neat and concise. I love your videos. Thanks for your help regarding the navigation question. Cheers, Kim

Ah perfect 🤓 And no problem! 👍🏼 All you do is hold your finger on the screen (when you’re on the map) where you’re at your desired location 🤓

@@npoleary you mean I should do that even is the map is in 3D mode, when the car is parked, at the location I want to bookmark?

Hi. Very usefull video’s. Thx. Do you know where we can change the Qwerty keybord to azerty ??

Thank you! No sadly it’s just a QWERTY keyboard on Mercedes, I haven’t seen any other keyboards layouts apart from other languages.

Hi Nick, thanks for all your help in the past. I've another question, how do you avoid tolls on the sat nav. I've gone into settings on the sat nav, but I can't find it. It's probably me. lol. I have MBUX. Thanks again Dave

[@npoleary]

No worries! I seem to remember it was on the bottom right on the Navi screen under Settings then advanced. It was called “Avoid Options” and in there should be Avoid Toll Roads 👍🏼

[@davidde8777]

Thanks for your prompt reply. I'll give it a go today. Cheers, Dave

Hi Nick, I've found it and reset it for no toll roads. Thanks again pal. Keep doing the vids. 👍

Will do! 👀

[@SoyuzUS]

Off road score and energetic comfort screens are missing on my fully loaded 2021 GLS 580, and I do have E-Active Body Control, off road package and air balance package with fragrance and ionization.

[@npoleary]

Hey Soyuz, Ooo wow very nice! Really sorry, there’s no such thing as a GLS 580 here in the UK :( There’s only a GLS 400d and a Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 here. My guess is that the specification might be different in other countries? Sorry wish I could offer some assistance. You could always speak to your local dealership, they might be able to help?

[@SoyuzUS]

@@npoleary Thanks for the reply. We ordered it in January 2020, were told that we should expect delivery in May. But with everything goings on, it ended up December built and a 2021 model. In 2021 some dealer codes changed and we were unable to order a heated/cooled 2nd row cup holder with our Executive Package Plus. It is no longer listed as available option on Mercedes website in the US. Energizing Comfort was another code that disappeared from our original 2020 built. They must have changed somethings in 2021, now that Maybach is available, they want to give people the reason to buy one instead, and are stripping down the regular GLS.

[@npoleary]

Ah I see That spec is a little different to what I know of in the UK! But yes it can change in the factory throughout the year when a change comes in. Ooo yeah a GLS Maybach, haven’t seen one of those yet!

[@nylons1967]

hi, nick great guide for MBUX, just got my first A class last week and the guide was great for setting up my MBUX. But just one thing how the hell do you turn the radio OFF? Each time I start the car the radio comes on and have to mute it each time. your advice would be great thanks.

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! 🤓 Oooo very nice! 👌🏼 Best thing to do in that situation is just select MEDIA and select the USB port. As long as you don’t have anything plugged in, it’ll just start silently 🤓

[@yayomoveitgrooveit]

Great video Nick. I have subbed to you for a while now as I will be buying a merc a class with the amg line premium package. I literally can't wait to get my hands on this mbux system! The ambient lighting is my 2nd fave thing about the car. Only thing that will be annoying for is that I use a nextbase 522gw dashcam and that plugs into the cigarette lighter meaning on the a class I will have to leave the slider open all the time. Maybe I could get the dashcam hard wired by the dealer?

[@npoleary]

Thanks Crispy! Ooo nice! I’ve owned one with the Premium Package, I know those ambient lights 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Potentially you’ll have to ask them but I know most dealerships won’t usually as they have to sell cars as they are with no modifications.

[@yayomoveitgrooveit]

@@npoleary thanks for the reply Nick 👍 I should be carrying out a test drive on April 12th when the lockdown restrictions are eased for a test drive. Apparently when I make the order as its a new car I will have to wait roughly 3 months? Hopefully i don't have to wait too long as I'm not sure how long I can wait lol

[@rick_brindle]

NICK! Thank goodness for you! I've learned so much about my new MB (2020 GLE) thanks to you! Question: I live in the US and I think you've demo'd this but I can't find the video. How do you have your center console Where the speedometer is) show the NAVI in full screen? I have the center option showing NAVI but I only have three dots so Full Screen is not there. Is it not avail in US or am I doing something wrong? You're the best man. Don't ever stop!

[@npoleary]

Hey Mr Rick, Thanks glad you like them! :) Yes I have noticed this before some models have it and some don’t (think it’s just down to the specification) but for the ones that don’t have it you can usually put the Navi on the dial on the right. I know it’s not full screen but at least it puts the map on the instrument cluster 🤓

[@xtabinka]

Great videos! I have been seeing them all! Could you please do another one like this with the Commnand Online used in the C300 de? Keep up the good work! Cheers

[@npoleary]

Ooo I’d love to! The only thing is that Mercedes-Benz of Poole (where I film) don’t have one at the moment :( If they do I’ll consider it!

why are larger infotainment screens the main focus of mercedes instead of the driving experience?

[@cx251hkg]

I have recently purchased a brand new E200 facelift and would like to know if it is possible to do a screen capture of the dashboard and MBUX system. Many thanks!

[@npoleary]

Hi cx251hkg, I wish I could too! Sadly no you can’t capture any screens on MBUX. I have to position cameras round the car in certain positions to show it on my videos 🤓

[@cx251hkg]

@@npoleary What a shame… Thanks for your swift reply Nick! Please keep up with your good work as I (as well as many others) learnt a lot from your videos.

Thank you! If a screen capture can be done, that would be amazing! That would enhance the quality of the videos so much!

[@susanmoccia3360]

I find your videos so informative. Thank you. I hope to have my 2021 GLE 450 by the end of June. I park in a public garage where I have a remote to open up the garage door. In my current Audi Q5, they were able to program the car at the dealership using the remote so that I could use a button inside the car to open the garage door. Do you have a video on how to program a garage remote?

[@npoleary]

Hey Susan, thank you! Glad you like them! Unfortunately Mercedes don’t have that facility (well not in the UK anyway) hard to tell where everyone’s from on KZbin! 😅 Spec can vary from country to country so that could be different elsewhere.

[@bbgearhart]

Aren’t the buttons on the underside of the rear view mirror?

[@npoleary]

No sadly not on UK models :( I’ve seen it before though on a car in the USA, if I remember think they were black buttons under the mirror

[@keyshorekumar595]

Hi Nick, does the MBUX Navigation have a speed camera detection? Where there is an audible sound to show there is a camera ahead or a camera sign on the Sat Nav? I couldn’t see this as part of a subscription on the Mercedes Me app either?

[@npoleary]

No sadly Speed Camera detection is illegal in Germany where Mercedes-Benz are made and designed so naturally isn’t found in any German car in the world. Best thing if you can is to use Smartphone Integration in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqjKcmmYoNpmpqs Using Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze allows this in the car so is kind of a workaround 🤓

[@berkkarabyk6107]

Hello, I would like to ask you a question, I could not find a lot of sources for information, when did the feature of detecting from which side the sound came from in which year in mercedes a class models on the web? A class ntg6 model 2019-2020-2021?

[@npoleary]

I believe it started to come out out in 2020 When I started my channel, I do remember jumping in a car that I filmed at the time and it only recognised the driver’s side but newer one’s do both driver and passenger. Maybe a dealer might no the exact dates though if you ask them 🤓

[@lotannamogbo1263]

Hi! I am getting a 2022 GLE soon and I have two questions. Is it possible to enter a destination on your Map app on your phone and the car take you there, even when not using Apple Carplay? Also do you know if they have fixed the Apple Carplay screen to fit fully in the newest models? Thanks so much!

[@lotannamogbo1263]

Also do you know if the 2022 GLE has wireless Carplay?

[@npoleary]

Hey Lotanna, as long as it’s available where you live, you can go onto the Mercedes me app and send a destination that way (saves you having to type it in). With Apple CarPlay, sadly it’s just the way it’s designed. I wish it was full screen too but there are other manufacturers who have come across the same issue before. The reason is because MBUX is available in two screen sizes, 7” & 10.25”. When designing and coding I’m led to believe that you can only choose one (to maintain compatibility) for everything. So to make sure it works on all models, Mercedes of course had to go with the 7” version, which is perfect for 7” owners but of course leads to a cropped experience if you have a 10.25” screen. And with wireless Apple CarPlay, this from the looks of it is available on models with the vertical screen. So at the time of writing, new C-Class, new S-Class & SL appear to have this. All others are wired Apple CarPlay. Hope that helps answer your questions!

@@npoleary Thank you!

[@jeanlevy9024]

Hello Nick you are the answer to my fervent wish and I will no longer say to anyone that my car is cleverer than me! Purchased my GLA 250E from a non Merc dealer four days ago so you will understand my opening sentence. Would you recommend fitting a tracking device as I live in a London borough. I found these have soared in price and purchasing a 5 year contract is a bit on the expensive side especially as I am retired and the car is parked in a garage when not in use. Similarly, as a low mileage user, do I need to have a charging point installed at home? I used the normal charger and plugged in and in three hours I was fully charged. I look forward to your answer and thank you so much for the videos.

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome Jean! Glad you like the videos! It’s up to you with a dedicated tracking function to be honest. All Mercedes-Benz have the facility to locate the car on a map (part of the vehicle monitoring package, some models get it free of charge for 3 years) There is also a service called the Stolen Vehicle Help which your insurance company may allow you to have and subsequently reduce your premium. You can read more about it on the Mercedes me store and see if it’s suitable. Regarding a dedicated charging point at home, as long as you’re happy with how it is now, then you should be okay. If you want to take advantage of faster charge speeds then I would advise going for it, otherwise if you charge overnight then I’m sure you’ll be fine! Hope that answers your questions!

[@jeanlevy9024]

Thank you very much for your detailed response. It help me enormously. Hope MB reward you for your very clear instructional videos. I will continue to watch with interest.
