Do you use Mercedes me? Let me know ⬇

[@flyboyflash3184]

Yes, definitely us MercedesMe.

[@Palmiped09]

Yes,

[@GBHostmaster]

All the time 👍

[@sambakorea]

Yes. I do. But why you have red colour background screen and I have black background on the app? Is it related to the colour of the vehicle? Just curious🤔🤔

[@npoleary]

I’ve noticed the different colours too! It’s because of the type of car, haven’t seen a pattern yet as to which colour is assigned to what 😅 But Easter themes, Halloween and Christmas usually make an appearance too!

[@clerouxbotha2784]

Saved me from locking the key in the boot. Great app 👏🏼

[@clancep]

Great review as always, Nick! Yes, please do a video on the Digital Key function. Also, as Guard 360/ Urban Guard is becoming available on newer Mercedes, can you do a video on that security feature as well?

[@npoleary]

Absolutely, I’ll add them both to the list of videos to cover this year 🤓

[@chuckskiles883]

We use our App all the time. Our favourite function is to send the Navigation Information to the car the night before our trip. Very easy to use and ready to go as soon as you start the car.

[@npoleary]

Yes that’s such a good feature! Going to showcase it again soon! 🤓

[@johnralston5164]

Thank you, just superb videos , so helpful.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them! 🤓

[@glenparker8458]

Great video nick 👍

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🤓

[@flyboyflash3184]

Thanks, look forward to it.

[@JCTom-im1ve]

Professional videos as usual. I'd like to see a complete guide/review of the new AMG steering wheel.

[@npoleary]

That’s a good idea! I’ll add it to the list! 😉

[@didierverkrusse6730]

Thank you very much for your explications and informations you give us in your vidéos. It’s always interesting. It gives me a good help. Thank’s.

[@npoleary]

Ah thank you! Glad you enjoy them!

[@max-timothy-lev9834]

Digital key handover…yes, need support! Awesome!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! I’ll add it to the list 🤓

[@flyboyflash3184]

Anxious to see Digital Light video.😊

[@npoleary]

I know! I really want to try it out! Sadly there’s not a car that’s available at my local Mercedes yet. When I get my hands on one though, I’ll be sure to cover it!

[@flyboyflash3184]

Perhaps soon? I have an EQS SUV with Digital Light…it’s awesome!

[@npoleary]

Apologies been such a long time, but Digital Light video coming soon over the next couple of weeks! I haven't forgotten! 👊🏼 Sneak Peak: It's incredible!

[@AndyPriceVideos]

Yes please Nick, do one on the key function you mentioned 😊

[@npoleary]

I’ll add it to the list! 🤓

[@GBHostmaster]

Digital key handover would be a good video Nick, never actually used it so a walk through would be great 👍

[@npoleary]

I’ll add it to the list 🤓

[@nchhatwal]

​@@npoleary Hi Nick, Have you made this video yet? I am new subscriber and car owner from Oz

[@npoleary]

No sadly not, although I would like to! Just need to find time to squeeze it in I did test it, it’s a weird concept because you leave the key in the car and the system deactivates it and turns it into access via the app for others. Still would like to make a video on it though, just need to balance what I feel will work on KZbin.

[@npoleary]

By the way thank you for subscribing! I post at least a new video each week! 👊🏼

[@dannysemail9411]

Once again, very helpful. Would you know if older cars with Mercedes Me Connect (2019+), will they ever be able to have any of these additional features made available on the app? Ie., my 2019 e450 saloon does not have te option to close the windows, it simply just alerts me that it is open but i can only close it by being inside the car.

[@npoleary]

Hey Danny’s email! Thank you! Ah once a car is linked, it’ll show you everything that’s possible on the Mercedes me services page that’s compatible with the car. To date I haven’t seen anything added so I’m guessing that’s how they are based on the tech in the car.

[@mattrankin1]

Hi Nick, great videos. Love my Merc E class. But I do get frustrated when it defaults back to Comfort mode even if you just turn if off for a couple of seconds. How can I make it default to the last mode such as Eco?

[@npoleary]

Thank you! I wish it could stay in a default mode too but all manufactures have to start in their default mode which in Mercedes is Comfort. You can change it straight afterward if you want to.

[@jesseturner9865]

Two things. The remote start feature is great but after starting the car remotely, I want the ability to change the temp of the environment controls. At this point, you only get the temp it was set to when I was last in the car, but what if the weather drastically changed? The only difference , in my opinion between geo fencing and valet protect seems to be the method of and how much range you can "box" the car in. Otherwise, I really appreciate the notifications when the car starts.

[@rodrigosolorzano7260]

The older version of the app (on my 2018 C43) had the ability to set the temperature with the remote start. Not sure why they got rid of this feature. It was super useful!

[@jesseturner9865]

@@rodrigosolorzano7260 I think they had a few people forget their car was on (my guess).

[@katherinewerner1730]

Hi Nick, do you have any info on remote start? I am curious if the amount of time can be lengthened during remote start? I live in a cold climate and the auto is still pretty cold when get inside. Thankfully we are done with winter now, just asking before next winter arrives. Thanks.

[@npoleary]

Hey Katherine, really sorry I’ve never been able to try that feature out. It literally doesn’t exist here in the UK. Only certain countries have it. There’s Pre-Entry Climate Control for Hybrids and EV’s which I guess is similar but that’s about it.

[@tejpartapsingh3280]

Hey Nick, I have just ordered the neu GLE 400e und I would like to know if the option to track the car production still exist. They still have it advertised on their website, but haven´t heard anything online.

[@npoleary]

Hey Tejpartap, ah very nice! Really sorry I wouldn’t know as I’ve not ordered one from the factory before, I only get to review them in the showroom. However I’m sure there’s some sort of tracking somewhere as your local Mercedes will be able to keep you up to date with it’s progress! 👍🏼

[@robertrottura15]

Hi Nick, Love your video's. I just purchased a CLA 45s 2021 about 2 weeks ago. It was second hand with just over 20k. I havent been driving the car much as l have been overseas since purchasing and only driving into work twice a week. Commute to work is around 40km each way. The app showed critical as l was setting up all displays etc.I drove to work 40km it went to partial but the start stop still didn't work. I drove home thinking the start stop would start working again but it didn't. App is still showing partically charged and start stop still didn't work. Do you think it would be the battery that needs to be changed ? Surely after driving 2 hours, 1 hour each way it should be fully charged ? Any thoughts

[@npoleary]

Hey Robert, thank you! Glad you enjoy them! I’d keep an eye on it but it can take quite a while for batteries to become fully charged with the amount of tech on them these days! To fully charge a battery via the mains (with sufficient charge already on it) it will usually take 4-6 hours at least. If it still shows this after a week or so, contact Mercedes and they can check it out for you. Hope that helps!

[@CATALIN972]

Yes ❤❤

[@gavinwestley6102]

Hey Nick - great videos as always. Just learned that with the demise of 3G mobile we have lost key features on the Mercedes Me app for my 2018 E220 such as remote services lock/unlock. Mercedes said there is no alternative solution or 3rd party solutions. Any comments ?

[@npoleary]

Hey @gavinwestley6102, ah yes I heard the UK was switching off 3G this year. I feel it’s too early! They should keep it going for at least a couple more years. I don’t the people in charge of network infrastructure understand the implications of doing it…card readers (once you pay with at pay terminals in shops) often use 3G, cars and all sorts of devices like phones can be affected by such a change.

[@SlekkyP]

Can I start up my car with my Mercedes me app, and put on the heater as well? Can’t see that on you video, and I dunno it. Benz CLA 180

[@dadyougeek]

Great video I’ve just got a brand new merc but even though Mercedes me is linked and loads of services activated they aren’t showing in the more section, also Mercedes me is say vehicle position is currently unavailable….any ideas?

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Have you spoken to Mercedes me support? Really sorry I wouldn’t know, it’s probably best to chat the Mercedes and they can check it out for you. In the app, Press Menu, Help and then Contact Support. I would guess if you don’t get anywhere with that bit or if they can’t help, just contact a Mercedes dealership and someone would be able to check it out.

[@dannysemail9411]

Hi Nick, hope all is well. What is the difference between Geofencing vs. Valet protection? Thanks

[@npoleary]

They’re almost identical Geofencing is when the car actually enters or leaves an area where as Valet Protect can be if the ignition is switched on / off too

[@nafeelahmed]

Hello. Thank you for your productive video. Appreciate your work. May I know what's the app is for the mercedes app in the UAE region and also how can I delete my previous mercedes me account that I created mistakenly for a different region. Thank you

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Really sorry specs and more specifically Mercedes me varies round the world so you’ll have to chat to Mercedes directly. They’ll be able to let you know what’s available if anything. To delete a Mercedes me account, log into the account via the app or website and head over to the profile section. On the website under My Data you can delete it and on the app it’s under Profile on the top left where you can Delete Account.

[@Lovelyliseee]

Hi nick i wanted to download the navigation to my Mercedes I see it’s available but I was wondering if the navigation will cover both screens or just the middle one ?

[@npoleary]

It depends on the specification of your Mercedes if you can put the Sat Nav on both screens. Sadly not all cars can do it but if you chat with your local Mercedes they can let you know what yours can do 🤓

[@fortza11]

Hi, and thanks for the video - What app / Program do you use for showing which button you are pushing in the app? I hope that you will give me an answer, I have been looking for a long time for some similar.

[@npoleary]

Ah there is no app, that’s the power of editing 👀 I manually add each “click” which looks like a white bubble of waves when I tap. I use Final Cut Pro to do this and a plug in from Motion VFX. Probably takes a min per tap to line it up.

[@fortza11]

Ah, that possibility crossed my mind too. It's super strange that there hasn't been an app that can show where to press when recording screen. I need it for making support videos for the world's best gin app (GiniT) - but thanks for your quick reply :-)@@npoleary

[@npoleary]

No worries! 🤓

[@adriandii4868]

Hello sir. Is any chance to activate remote on /off engine in a merc GLE 350d 2019?

[@npoleary]

Hey Adrian, sadly it’s not available in all cars worldwide and is country specific. If it is available where you live, sign into the app and if it’s listed under the Manage Services section they it’ll work. It’s not available in the UK though and is only available for Plug-in Hybrids and Electric Cars as they have an additional auxiliary heater.

[@TheYeekt]

Have been seeing your video. I love it and have learn a lot and benefit from it. I am driving GLA200 but can’t register Mercedes me as i got the car from PI hope something can be done about it. Anyway thanks Nick for all the videos you have done here.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Ah so to add a car just contact your local Mercedes 🤓 Just take proof ownership in like a V5 document in with your ID 👍🏼

[@TheYeekt]

@@npoleary thanks for the reply. I have checked as long the vehicle is not purchased from the local distributor they will not allow unless I pay a sum to get it registered.

[@npoleary]

Pay? Linking a car is free? Where abouts are you based in the UK

Hey! Are there some hidden features for the sunroff? Like is it possible to open roff but leave the sun proctection closed? Often i want to open the sunroff but also wanna protect my daughter on the back seat from the sun is that as example possible? Thx And your videos are great we‘ve got ouer Mercedes GLB for 5 Weeks now and because of your Videos my wife and i we now our car so mutch better now!😮😅😄💪

[@npoleary]

Glad you enjoy the videos! No sadly not, there’s only three functions and you can’t have the roof open with the blind as the car shuts the roof with the same button. It’s just Open Vent Closed On the plus side, the glass itself is actually tinted so it does have some slight projection when closed

[@user-sm2ue6hc4c]

Thanks Nick, as always. Yes please an explanation of Digital Key Handover would be very useful.

[@npoleary]

I’ll add it to the list! 🤓

[@russellford9016]

Are the Newer Mercedes 4G capable? If so what year does it change over? I'm in Australia and just bought a 2019 E53 AMG coupe and it has the MercedesMe feature, but 3G network is about to shut down this year. Any chance of upgrading the older 3G units?

[@npoleary]

Some are, and I think some even have 5G too! I believe there is a way to check on the Mercedes me Store (not sure if it’s the same worldwide) but might be best to check with Mercedes and they can let you know if it’s compatible. Sadly no once a car is built it cannot be changed from what I’ve heard.

[@kristofdebacker9593]

Hi Nick. I used your videos to get familiar with all the features of my new EQB, very useful! There is one thing I can not seem to get working. i even don't know if it is possible. I have an account / profile on my phone, and it syncs with mprofile in the car perfectly. I created a profile in the car for my wife. It appears in the app as a local profile (and in the car the 'me' symbol is not shown on the profile), but how can we activate this profile on her phone? Now it seems she is still changing my settings, not hers (in the top right my profile is always shown as owner).

[@npoleary]

Thank you! You might have to ask Mercedes on that one sorry! I’ve heard that there are some new changes to new EQB coming by sadly I’ve not seen one at my local dealership or had an invite from Mercedes Press Office yet. I know the previous multimedia system MBUX NTG 6 (ones with a touchpad) only allow one profile to sync. However it sounds like the newer version might sync more than one!

[@classicalmusic3979]

Does the app so drive score

[@traciewinn8919]

Hi Nick, great video. Don't know if you can help but I paid £35 last year for an app that showed my vehicles location, it worked until last week and I was going to pay for it again but it is not showing as an available app on Mercedes Me, am I doing something wrong or have Mercedes stopped it. I don't really want the Guard 360, I've got a 2018 C300, old lady now but I don't want to change it yet.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Best to do is just chat with Mercedes, they can let you know what you’ve bought exactly / what’s available. Just bear in mind from the comments and replies on KZbin that I’ve read, the 3G network in the UK has been switched off now in 2023 so if your car had a 3G sim then this might be affected. If you go onto the app, there’s a Menu button, then help where you can call them 🤓 Hope that helps!

[@AmjadKhan-pp3pk]

Hi Nick, I have GLE 250d 2018 night pack but don’t have remote lock/unlock on Mercedes me app though I get notification of “your vehicle is unlocked. Do you want to lock your vehicle?” How can I find whether my car has that function?

[@npoleary]

Best thing to do is log onto the Mercedes me store to check compatibility. Not all models of Mercedes can use Mercedes me because of the 3G networks being switched off in the UK from what I’ve read. I believe that notifications are sent when the car can’t communicate which would be explain why if that is the case. If you get stuck just chat with Mercedes me support from the app. Tap Menu then Help and then Contact Support. They’ve helped me before 🤓

[@user-nk9rw7tj9k]

360 safety guard service is not only theft monitor but also has dash camera function?

[@npoleary]

I don’t believe so, well not that I’ve seen in the UK. But check with Mercedes to be sure as specs vary! It only lists two things on their store: shop.mercedes-benz.com/en-gb/connect/pdp/guard-360-package/702

[@mikopikomikopiko1187]

hey nick how do i pay for these functions. do i get a money order or do they take it directly from my bank account. thanks

[@npoleary]

Ah you can purchase them from the Mercedes me Store 🤓

[@djn1856]

Im just setting up Mercedes me. In order to do say it requires u to “activate services” on the app. U can either select to activate all free services or select to activate individually from a long list. Would u recommend activating all or selecting only specific services?

[@npoleary]

Oh I would just activate all unless you were a company and wanted to limit what employees had access to etc

[@djn1856]

Hey Nick, Where is the QR code in the mbux? I tried to find but no luck for me

[@npoleary]

As long as it’s not linked to someone already, press Home Mercedes me & Apps (or something similar) For newer versions of MBUX just start creating a new user 🤓

[@CG-cz8nj]

which exit app are you using? There are several.

Hi Nick, i'm not sure how it was added but how do I remove my calendar entries /appointments in the mercrdes me app on android ? Thx in advance

[@npoleary]

Ah you / or someone would have pressed allow when it was set up for the first time. Not sure how to do it on Android but on iPhone it’s under settings. Have a look on Android under Settings Apps Look for Mercedes me And Disable the Calendar (it won’t be on the app itself, it’ll be under the phone settings) If you can’t see it, have a look under Security & Privacy Privacy Permission Manager Have a look in Calendar there

[@keithb223]

Would love it if MB did an update to the system. Last and only one I had was 2 years ago, surely there must be a tweak here and there? I guess they are more focused on the tablet sized screens now and now the rectangle on my dash board 😮

[@npoleary]

Hey Keith, if you have one the newer systems, you get bug fixes and security updates come through automatically. Map updates are available as long as you’re subscribed to the Navigation Package on Mercedes me too (map updates are usually free for 3 years from registration date).

[@tapstring2]

The only icons I see below the box after pressing "more", are owner's info and "over the air updates". I would really like remote start. Do I need to further register with a dealership or is my 2020 GLC300 not eligible for remote start? Thank you so very much from Atlanta.

[@npoleary]

Really sorry you’ll have to ask Mercedes what functions will be available. If it’s the same as Mercedes dealers here, yes if you buy a car from somewhere you’ll need to register it with them. Remote start doesn’t exist here in the UK but I’ve heard and read on KZbin comments that the USA does. No idea what models, years and specifications though.

[@tapstring2]

Thanks Nick@@npoleary

[@lesbailey7224]

I am having updating issues with the mercedes me app, techincal are trying to blame where i park my car to charge it, but its the same wherever i park! After driving the car its not updating the trip/range date. Any ideas as to what it could be??

[@npoleary]

Hey Les, really sorry I wouldn’t know. I’d suggest contacting Mercedes for them to have a look if you’re having problems. Try Mercedes me Support first from the app, then if they can’t help after creating case numbers etc, I’d suggest visiting your local Mercedes and booking in to see a technician 🤓

[@santhoshasokan2962]

@npoleary, we recently brought our 2020 g400d from South Africa to the UK, and since then, my Mercedes me hasn’t worked. Is there anything we can do to make it work

[@npoleary]

Ah I would always tread very carefully when importing and exporting cars. I remember when I went to buy an Apple Watch Cellular in the USA and almost got caught out. Basically and to simplify it the best I can, phones are one of the only devices out there that can “roam” on other networks in countries far from home. However lots of other devices and cars cannot, they are only ever designed to work in the country that they were designed for. This is due to the very complex nature of signal frequencies in each country. Some for example may work in UK and Europe but go any further round the world and you may find it won’t work at all. Really sorry as I’ve never imported / exported a car the only thing I can suggest is that you contact Mercedes and see if they can offer any support on it to see if anything can be done.

[@santhoshasokan2962]

Thanks a lot for explaining Nick

[@Tenavamersu]

Hey. Im from finland and i cant buy the remote controll for the window.. what i do?

[@npoleary]

It might not be available on the car or where you live From what I’ve seen when covering Mercedes, all the things that are available are shown on the app and store. You could speak to Mercedes me support, they might be able to let you know for sure!

[@kevansmith49]

Some splendid features, but they can't make Apple Carplay bigger than 7 inches wide on a 10 inch screen on a 2022 GLA Premium Plus 4Matic?

[@npoleary]

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 (also known as NTG 6) on Mercedes 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. NTG 7 found in some new cars have higher faster processors and have one screen size leading to a full screen experience on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Hope that explains potentially why it’s like that on some cars!

[@andyp91]

Hi Nick. When moving slowly if I open the door the car jams into Park. Is there a way to turn this feature off.

[@npoleary]

No sadly not that’s a safety feature! I guess the only way you could do this is to open the door, foot on brake, release handbrake manually then shift into drive. But why did you need to do this anyway? Just curious! 😅

[@selmatutic7250]

Hello Nick I instaled the app but can not control the car with app, i can only see the infos about car. Do i need to buy something for the app ?

[@npoleary]

If you head over to the Mercedes me store it’ll let you know what’s available for your car (just make sure you’re signed in). Sadly it’s not available everywhere round the world, for the UK most of the Mercedes me app is free of charge for the first 3 years, just depends on the car you have 🤓 If you get stuck there’s a Help section on the app where you can message or call Mercedes and they’ll be able to help 👍🏼 it’s on the menu at the top

[@MadijiL3157]

Hi Nick, how do I activate location tracking on my 2018 model Merc. The app says vehicle location is currently unavailable and should be activated in your vehicle

[@npoleary]

It might be best to check with Mercedes on that one, I’ve heard from a few comments of KZbin that various countries have switched off their 3G network infrastructure which might affect its function. Either chat with a dealer or chat with Mercedes me Support from that app and they’ll be able to help. On that app, press MENU, HELP, CONTACT SUPPORT (then call)

[@bobwarboat]

Wonderful, ive got a brand new c class and cant get mercedes me to work.

[@npoleary]

If you get in touch with Mercedes showrooms or Mercedes me Support they’ll be able to offer tailored support for you 🤓 If you’re trying to link it, you may need to take proof of ownership in to your local showroom. Just also bear in mind (it’s hard to tell where everyone is based) Mercedes me is not available everywhere round the world so depends where you live too! 🤓 What issues are you having, I can try and help!

Hi Nick, I’m a daily user of Mercedes Me! Put on a full set of new tyres today and then charged my EQC to 60%. Merc Me app now shows 139mi range and 259mi range at 70% max charge level!! I wish this was true as I would love to have 370mi range at 100%😅 Waiting for response from developers

[@npoleary]

Ah that’s good! Did it say the same thing in the car?

[@lesliewiddicombe3064]

I don’t recall seeing predicted ranges for charging % in the car. Will check later

[@lesliewiddicombe3064]

Seems like Mercedes Me app is now stuck on 259mi range for all charging % ie 70%, 80% and 100% all show 259mi range

[@lauriemiles1842]

Sometimes Mercedes Me takes a bit of time to update - check your main screen to see how current the info is. The best way to update it is to Search for the car, or open the windows / flash the lights from within the app. The max range your EQC will have in summer will be about 240 miles (that's what ours said on a 140 mile round trip yesterday) - again, this prediction depends on your recent driving style.

Locking you out? So there is a setting on the key where you can program it to only unlock the driver’s door which I’ve covered on a Mercedes key tips and tricks video. But if you’re having problems getting in or getting out, I’d definitely recommend getting in touch with Mercedes to check it out!

[@araratmedia6951]

@@npoleary Nick thanks for your reply but if I disable the passenger door so it only opens the drivers door and then won't open im completely stuck? I have managed to open it manually by removing the plastic key cover but as it was intermittent I wanted to ask you what in your opinion could be causing it

[@npoleary]

Yeah so if you’re having problems with opening a door I would definitely recommend getting in touch with Mercedes! Really sorry I don’t work on them like Mercedes staff would, I just review them and produce tutorials online!

Hi Nick, User I have a unique issue with the MBUX GPS system. I am not sure what could be the reason but the gps screen keeps on changing and the pointer turns into three blue circles ( one small circle , then another circle covering the small circle outline and then the third circle, that covers the outlines of the second one). There is also a white dot in the Center. Can you tell what could be the issue?

[@npoleary]

Hey sambakorea, I think I’ve done that before but seemed to recall it might have been when I was zooming in or out or something. Or something like moving the map round. I think COMAND had something like that before when you nudge the control wheel in the middle of the car and hold it

[@sambakorea]

@@npoleary Thanks Nick for the quick reply. As always you are the my first point to discuss any issues with Mercedes. I am even wondering if the issue caused by driving or parking assist activation?? In my car, these features were not active (I guess due to automatic updates due to UN R79).I made it active by the local dealer during the service maintenance. Will try to deactivate and try. Not 100% sure if this resolve the problem but will ask them to give it a try. Question- I don’t see any parties mentioning on the un site about the obligation of a Canadian vehicles to this rule but still surprised when the parking assist and lane chane assist got deactivated, sometimes in the recent past.

Hey Beni, really sorry it varies massively round the world. I’d suggest just speaking with Mercedes me Support from the app. Just be aware the app is subscription based so does need to be subscribed to, to operate. It’s usually free for the first few years from the car’s Reg date though.

Hi Nick , I use it , paid Remote and Sat Nav , but unfortunately from my phone I can use it only on Wi-Fi … when I am on 4G or 5G it says “connection lost” and can not connect at all .

Depends if you’re going to use it but I guess if you’re not then you can always just let them expire. You can renew them any when on the Mercedes me store 🤓 Remember that if you do, they stay with the car 🚗 so if you sell, the remainder of the subscription goes to the next person.

I use it to start my car remotely but it turns off when I open the car door, is there a way to stop that ???

[@npoleary]

Sadly this isn’t a thing available in the UK so I wouldn’t be able to test it. I would imagine you can’t for security though. If a remote start started the car, that’s the app turning the car on. But if you’re going to drive it, then the key would need to take over so it would need to stop and then start again. You’ll have to ask Mercedes for the exact reasoning but that’s just my logic and thought process 🤓👍🏼

[@jonathanben-david7142]

Hi Nick. excellent vlog, as usual, thank you. I just had put a £10 bet on with my local Mercedes agent that my brand new GLE450D AMG Line Plus must have remote start capabilities. They said no mercedes cars have this feature, whihc I know is incorrect. i find this very difficult to belive as almost every car in the UK from a certain trim up, has this feature. Do you happen to know what the real story is please?

[@npoleary]

Thank you! No sadly any petrol or diesel in Mercedes does not have remote start in the UK. I’ve heard it’s different elsewhere in other countries. However if a car has an auxiliary heater or heat pump (like on EV’s, plug-in hybrids or selected Marco Polos) then you can turn the heating or cooling on, but no remote start.
