firstly I wanted to apologies for the excessive use of the word actually .... I'm still getting use to making videos ... i will try much harder in future not to do so......for the rolling of windows up and down u hold the unlock button to roll Windows down and lock to roll them up...alot of these so called features can be found in your owners manual... so be sure to read it..however some are hidden features/secrets....enjoy!!

No one mentioned Brake Hold? Come to a full stop and then slightly lift and press again. A "HOLD" message will show up on the speedometer and you can then press the accelerator to pull away smoothly. No more numb foot at lights!

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

hey mate hows it going and welcome I believe it's in part 2 ..I made another video showing more features feel free to check it out...and that only appears for the facelift 2011 models and onwards for the pre face it's just does it ....

Mine doesn’t do this

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

i did mention this ..its called hillassist ..hence why wen u step on the brake ..it HOLDS for a split second ..then let's go... on facelift models it will display HOLD ..ON PREFACE it simply holds. its designed for hills so u don't roll back and accidentally hit the car behind u

[@jorgesevilla6582]

@@MIKEYZVLOGZ I tried it and it doesn’t display a HOLD on the panel, I will have to go a hill somewhere or a driveway and try it. Small incline at a stop light, I didn’t notice any hold.

in your case you might have a broken motor, its not the fuse but the actuakl motor that opens and closes the screen ,,, if it was a fuse then it wouldnt work at all, bedcause theres intermittent faults sounds alot like the motor has malfunctioned in that case u may need to swap out the screen motor , this is just a guess

Your means hilla ssist are active is once I stopped and released the pedal brake, the car will not move even in drive mode or unshift to neutral?

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

no so hill assist is when your on a hill the car will sense that your on a hill... this is when your in drive (D) and your car wont roll back .... until u accelerate ...that way eliminating the fear of rolling back into someone .... thats what i meant.... sorry i shouldve been more clear

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

you will get use to the feature .. to be more specific...hill assist is designed to hold your car in the same spot for a short period of time or until you accelerate.... and once u accelerate it will move forward.... this is what i was trying to say...i may have chosen the wrong words ... but u will understand once u use hillassist

I have questions, I found the auto dimming function doesn’t work for my side mirror after I install the electric rear mirror(70mai). Is any solution to keep the original auto dimming function work as normal?

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

is that the unit that sits on top of the rear view mirror ...the auto dimming is built into the rear view mirror ...that's why if u cover it u won't have it no more .... maybe try find a device like 70mai with auto dimming ...if that's what u want...

usually battery flat but wen u drive for abit it readjusts itself..unless there an underlying issue..that's for the abs esp bas etc..but for runflats and ps I'm not sure never had the issue... wen I disconnect my battery sometimes I get the esp bas abs error but wen I drive for abit and eventually do a full lock to the left and right it readjusts and the error goes away

[@thegoat8431]

@MIKEYZVLOGZ the ps and runflats are deactivated due to the original issue. Was thinking was a wheel sensor issue. Eg. If you have a slightly flat tyre, wheels don't rotate at the same rate thus triggers one error then another.

Nice vid. I bought a 2012 c250 coupe. It's a nice car, but it won't mate to my note 5 android phone. Any advice? Thanks.

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

hey there friend ... so it wont sync to your samsung note 5? u have a 2012 so bluetooth connects and plays music through your audio system correct? it should be as simple as searching and adding .... have u tried clearing old recognized phones ? sometimes it can only read a certain amount of phones

Is it possible to make the car default to the NAVI option inside the speedometer instead of the odometer setting? I switch to that immediately every time, and it would be a cool feature if it just defaulted that way.

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

ye i get what your saying..but i dont think its possible... its like the sport mode would like ot have it goto sprt mode everytime i enter the car and start it..but i have to keep selecting it

As for day time running lights I guess the reason your cluster lights came on was because it activated head light as well. Happened to my face lift w204. As long as day time running lights are switched to ON my head lights are ALWAYS on even in bright day light. It's a Japanese import I'm not sure if it's a regional software setting or simply my auto light sensor is broken.

[@lulbhocolate8465]

Kevin Qian you can go to setting in the instrument cluster and turn them off. Go to “light” , then switch off.

Do your paddle shifters work I have a 2009 c300 and just bought a new wheel and can not get the paddles to work

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

my car came with paddle shifters from factory so i never had an issue .... and yes they do work ... i had paddles on my 2 spoke wheel and also on my new wheel also

[@Kadarii]

Justin Brown i have an 2009 as well and i’ve been looking into paddle shifters for my steering wheel. I’m not 100% when the amg and non amg versions of the c class got paddle shifters but apparently the 2009 c63 came with them stock. You can have the software either updated or activated (not 100% which is correct) at a mercedes benz service center and then your paddle shifters should work just like the regular manual mode.

[@lilantdog2k]

Justin Brown any question with paddle shifters , message me. I have the information you need.

How did you switch your auto into manual? And do we drive it and switch it with a clutch?

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

manual is tiptronic not actual manual like a stick shft 5 or 6 speed, there button i have on my auto gear shifter panel and it shows M - S- C manual shifting to sport to comfort, once shift to manual its tiptronic, so no you dont have a clutch , you simply push the gear shifter left or right and it goes up and down gears up to 7 gears accordingly , i do a demo in my part 2 of this special features

Mikey, first off thank you for all your helpful videos you’ve posted on your channel. I have a question, at exactly 10:10 in your video your demonstrating a multi media interface. My question to you has to do with the black little triangular glove box latch actuator that latches your box into place. When I bought my c250 they were missing and by box has a slight drop to it when its closed. It annoys the heck at of me lol. I’ve searched everywhere for them and seems you have to order a whole new box to get those little inserts. Would you happen to know the proper name for them or where I can find them by any chance. Thanks for your help mate.

Now seat does not perform this action when getting out, the wheel still moves out of way and the seat controls all work but seat doesn’t do it anymore. I will note the connivence menu on cluster only mentions seat? Which is odd because I have had the car for years and this always worked until as of late. Thanks in advance

hey Kevin O welcome to my channel...i hope you can subscribe ..your support would mean the world to me....NO NO NO mine is 2010 guaranteed, the difference is that i have the AMG styling package from standard, its not real AMG its just the package option... and the led strips were factory also...i didn't add new side mirrors either thats how the car came .... i also believe that it was all added extras when i bought the car.... so thats why i have so many different options..because they were added when designing the car...also ....as the w204s progressed they make changes each year and mine is just before the facelift version ..hence why its the way it is..... about the esp error code.... i only notice airbag and esp warning codes on my dash alot if the battery had drained...as you know w204s are infamous for battery drainage... even if you just leave the doors open for about 45mins... the car will no longer start.... and you have to charge it or jump it...
