10 MBUX Tips I wish I knew SOONER!

[@npoleary]

Hey everyone, thanks so much for joining to watch this week’s video LIVE (even when the football’s on! Bad planning on my part 😅 Message me in the live chat at the top of the page for an almost instant reply! ⬆

[@67pooch]

Hey nick question I have a 2021C300 and I like the new ambient light colour that they have now is there a app or a website that I can get those newer colours for my car ?

[@npoleary]

Hey 67pooch, sadly no all of the colours are set by Mercedes at their factory. I think it’s also a limitation of the multimedia system that gives the command too

[@tax905972]

I have a 2020 GLC63, and do believe I have some of those features.

[@GizmoGTI]

Hey Nick, you're a legend!! Thanks for all your vids, keep them coming. I found yesterday, if you're sitting in the passenger seat, and call up Hey Mercedes, and request to turn on heated seat, mercedes knows the voice came from the passenger seat and will enable passenger seat heating!!! Bloody awesome..

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🤓👍🏼 glad you’re enjoying them! Yeah it’s pretty clever MBUX! 👀

[@profphilbell2075]

Once again, thanks for your help. Saving the current location was my favourite. It’s getting to the point where Mercedes-Benz dealers should set up classes in how to do stuff. It could even generate sales for them.

[@npoleary]

No worries! I’m hoping to do some more tips and tricks and tutorials soon, but I’ll happily keep them coming as long as people enjoy them and my local Mercedes continue to let me film stuff there!

[@zeyadelyahya7766]

Also, you don't have to pause after saying "Hey Mercedes" to wait for car to acknowledge. You can right away say what you want without waiting.

[@AR-so6ch]

No millenial pause needed great!

[@racing747]

Great tip!!

[@Frankie5Angels150]

That means, I guess, you also have to leave the middle letter “T” out of the words “important” and “mountain”?

[@RodChampers]

Not sure I have voice control

[@theresaharvey2424]

Thank you for your videos! By the the time I left the dealer with my first Mercedes I had forgotten 90% of the things he told me about all the features lol. That first drive home was quite interesting to say the least. Love my GLC 300 and will be a Mercedes buyer for life!!

OK, so I'm like retired, got an old Golf, Well I say old, it's 6, 2018. No idea how I got to your channel, but I've watched (and liked) about half a dozen, all this shht is just blowing my mind ! I thought my Golf was good 'cos it hooked up to my phone... Thinking of trading in... ! These vid's are so good, informative, interesting, mind blowing.... Thnx, you deserve a pay rise !!!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them! If only I was actually paid by Mercedes to make these 😅 I work for myself producing these videos here on KZbin 🤓 Got another Mercedes dropping this Friday and probably the week after that as well 🙏 I need to visit my local dealer actually and see if they any more cars in or topics I could film!

I honestly learned something…..lol thank you. I have a GLE 450 AMG and it’s different from my BMW that I previously owned. It’s so many tricks to the Mercedes.

[@MauroC74]

MBUX vocal commands are great, they can turn on/off A/C, de-ice windscreen and close air recirculation so you can avoid the smell from the truck exhaust in front of you without touching anything :)

[@jameson1895]

Hi Nick - just picked up another tip from this vid - touching the door handle to close all windows & roof - you were absolutely right…. I didn’t know that 😂👍

Hey Nick, thank you so much for all your tips and tricks!! Owner since 2 weeks of a brand new GLA 250e, I'm so glad I discovered your KZbin channel! Even if English is not my native tongue (I'm a Belgian living in France), you manage to explain everything so clearly that it is completely understandable for me! One day I was nearly mistaken by asking "Hey Nick" in stead of "Hey, Mercedes "😀 ! Hope you will never stop telling us all the "secrets" of this wonderful car! Have a nice day!

[@progrockrules]

Thanks for your videos - I'm learning so much about my A250 hybrid - you're a star. I'm semi-retiring now after 25 years as a painter decorator - and my daily drives have been work vans - this is my first luxury saloon for that time and I'm loving it. I never thought I was that bothered about cars - until I got this! Just gotta get to grips with android auto (which is a bit clunky) and I'll be sorted!

[@npoleary]

[@DANIELAPPS2024]

​@npoleary hi bro 2018 c 300 also has these features. If yes, how can I activate them and parking Assisting

[@npoleary]

Possibly! It’ll most likely have the first park assist video I made on my channel, sorry I started my channel in 2020 so have limited coverage on cars before that :( Depends on the specification of the car though but I would have thought so

[@gchamble2172]

So glad this video popped up while I was searching for something totally different. I’m waiting on my 2024 GLC300 to arrive from the factory and am a little intimidated with all the features and technology. I subscribed to your channel for tips so I know what I’m doing when my suv arrives. Thanks so much!

[@npoleary]

Ooo very nice! Thank you!!

[@racing747]

Could've just said you're getting new gle instead boasting exactly what you're getting. I'm sure Nick isn't impressed. Keep it humble mate 😂

[@npoleary]

Hey nothing wrong with letting everyone know the package (premium / premium plus) Basically means more specification and more gadgets to play with 👀

[@markbudden367]

'In the Forest', a nice reminder you're not far from the New Forest. My family use that phrase frequently 🙂

[@robertshawiv1513]

Great info as always Nick. I have a 2022 Mercedes and just out of curiosity, I thought I’d check and see if Mercedes voice command could assist me by turning on my turn signals just by using my voice. Unfortunately, she told me she wasn’t able to do that as of now. 🤣

[@agnieszkaps5675]

After many hours of driving I’ve discovered that temperature and controls for it can be displayed on the MBUX! Touch temperature on the display and it will pop a new screen with fans, temperature and Auto Mode, looks very sleek on my GLC💖

[@paulmorgan2647]

Really informative and easily digestible content Nick - you were recommended to me by Mercedes Swindon, I have just purchased a 23 plate C300 AMG Line Premium Plus Estate. Could you please direct me to how I could avoid having to input a 4 digit code into my car every time I get in, and utilise the fingerprint pad instead. Many thanks.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them! Ah that’s the first thing I did my car You do it on the first set up when you get the car. But to access it again, on the home screen, find the profile selector (usually a picture of a person top left / right) and find something along the lines of Protect User Content or something. Just toggle it off from there.

[@fideicustos5522]

New subscriber here. The features that merc have are like endless. Glad to find this channel. Great work Nick!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! You’ve made my day thank you! ☺️ Got loads of Mercedes videos lined up soon!

[@DM-qe3ci]

Nick, yes that is exactly it. What happens is when you hit the 10k miles It triggers a service reminder. On the 2022 and 23 models and older, there is a way to toggle between the buttons on the steering wheel and go into the service mode reset feature. I have purchased the service a and service b that will trigger at 10K and 20K miles. But if I keep the car longer than 20,000 mi I intend to do my own service and do my own resetting of the service message. If I have to go out and buy a ODB2 tool to reset this I Will do that. I love the technology and mbox and the non-textile approach that Mercedes has taken. But to limit us from doing our own basic service, is telling the consumer that we are not qualified to do a simple reset.😅 I live in California Southern and it gets very hot and traffic is very congested. A 4-cylinder turbo engine, going 10,000 mi even with the new Mobil 1 X2 is pushing it. That's why I am wanting to do my own service after the clock throws the service message. And of course this is after 20,000 mi. Thanks Nick for your input and also great videos.

[@npoleary]

Ah I see! Yes it’s only Mercedes staff that know how to do it as far I know (maybe other garages might too). Glad you enjoy the content! I need to visit my local one again soon and film some more videos! 👀

[@frank_tattooer]

Hey Nick! Very useful videos. Could you make one about service? I'm not shure after how much "time" or "miles" I should make the service.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Ah that’s an easy one! Mercedes receive intervals for 90% of their cars are every year OR every 15k miles.. (whichever you hit first) I might make a video next year about it 🤓 when my car’s due for a big service 😎

[@frank_tattooer]

@@npoleary thank you very much Nick 🙏

[@DorcasTeffo-kh2co]

I enjoy the videos, quite informative.. I know now what features and what services are available on MBUX. Thanks

[@stevecooksley]

Handy tip about the radio station presets, thank you. I use the traffic sign assist in cruise control a lot and it's very useful - the only problem is it can misread the speed limits on the back of lorries as a road sign - I've often had the car suddenly drop down to 50mph on a motorway for no reason at all - and yes, it even changed it to 80mph once and I don't think any magistrate would have believed my excuse for speeding as "the lorry did it!"

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome thank you! 🤓 Yes it can pick up signs on the back of lorries so I find it if it happens a lot, just toggle off Route Based Speed Adaption and then the speed is over to you and what you select 👍🏼

[@jockatmann]

Common sense

[@davewesley11]

Cheers Nick .. Always find out more stuff about my car that I never knew watching you blogs .. keep it up mate.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏🙏

[@racing747]

Awesome tutorial Nick! Just bought myself a Benz and this was very concise. Didn't miss a beat. Question please.. How do I get my screen to display full screen when using my navigation via Android auto as it seems to only use it up but so much?

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 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!

[@racing747]

@@npoleary Thank you mate! Much appreciated for feedback. Please one other question if it's even in your context of things on here but what's best way to clean leather seats as I'm hearing it's actually covered in clear coat? Anyway.. If that's not your expertise I'll understand

[@npoleary]

Oh really I’ve not heard of that before…I do aim to try and produce a video of that in the future but I’d just use any sort of leather cleaner really. I honestly haven’t tried any so at this moment in time I can’t recommend any. But…the first place I’d look at would be Autoglym as they always seem to be good 👍🏼

#9: A little more detail: If cruise control is not active, RESUME 1-click turns it on at the speed last set. 2-clicks turns it on and sets it to the speed limit. BUT ALSO: when cruise control is active, RESUME 1-click will change it to the speed limit. AND ALSO there is one more cool RESUME detail: If cruise control is active, and DISTRONIC has stopped you to speed zero (e.g. at a light), the car will not proceed when the car in front of you starts pulling away - you have to tap the accelerator. HOWEVER, the RESUME button will also cause your car to proceed (and does not adopt the speed limit as it would if you were moving).

[@npoleary]

Didn’t know about that last one 👍🏼😎

Hey Nick - epic vids mate. I just purchased a 2021 GLC & noticed with Apple CarPlay it does not show directions in the HUD whereas Android Auto does. Any ideas how to enable Apple CarPlay to do this? Thanks in advance.👍

[@npoleary]

It’s not something Apple CarPlay does as far as I’ve seen. I didn’t realise Android Auto could even do that though, wonder if it’s something to do with “Coolwalk”. I remember hearing of an Android update a few months ago that I want to check out somewhen.

Hi Nick, hope you're doing well and thank you very much for these great tips and tricks. I was just wondering if you ever figured out how to go into assist mode on a 2024 GLC 300?

All of the KZbin clips are outdated. Thank you again.

Oh the hidden service menu? Sadly no only Mercedes technicians know how to get in there. It apparently lets you tell the car it’s had a service I think.

[@npoleary]

@stevedavenport6028 thank you! Sadly you can’t change that, I’ve got it on mine but not seen any settings for it. Not all cars have it, depends on the specification. Make sure you have the key and kick your foot straight in and back out at the back of the car pretty swiftly without kicking your leg on the car. If you have it, the boot will open.

Hi Nick, I dont think u have covers this tip. If your AC fan is at full blower and u make or receive a call with your connected phone, mbux will lower the speed of the air blower during the call. Once u disconnect it will go back to the original blower speed. I would love it if I can get a shout out in the next video when u cover it. Thanks

Hi Nick, thanks for the interesting videos, always very helpful to know the tips and tricks. We have a 2022 GLS 450 with bench seats. I wonder if there is anyway to adjust the angle of the headrest in the second row. I know how to adjust up and down but not sure about forwards/backwards. I put two car seats in the second row and the headrest is kind of in the way. Another question I have is that we bought the car in the USA, the temperature is in Fahrenheit, and I only work in Celsius, is there anything in setting that we can change from F to C? Thanks

[@npoleary]

Hey Jane no worries! Ooo very nice! No sadly it’s just up and down as far as I’ve seen when I filmed one before. Again for the Celsius and Fahrenheit, sadly no I’ve not seen a setting for this before when filming in any Mercedes models. Best thing to do is ask if a dealership with Mercedes technicians to see if they have the ability to change it.

Computer on wheels. Can you please cover the sourcing of the MBUX, as in, who makes it, how reliable it is, and costs to fix it, should it break?

[@npoleary]

Hey davesmith5656, Yeah cars are these days! They have such sophisticated systems! 🤓 Really sorry I don’t know that, out all of the car manufacturers I review and produce content on I don’t think any of them explain that. I would imagine they do most of the work in house, but of course some components are probably sourced elsewhere. For MBUX specifically I ran a quick internet search and found this if that helps? www.luxoft.com/pr/luxoft-and-daimler-codevelop-technology-platform-that-powers-the-mbux-infotainment-system I know they also use NVIDIA for their graphic chipsets too which is pretty cool! In terms of costings, I wouldn’t know you’ll have to ask Mercedes. I do own one but it’s under warranty so if anything did happen it would be covered 👍🏼

Checking out these vid for my next Merc purchase, but Nick, you always talk about the MBUX system reading out texts from an iPhone, does it do it from an android phone as well?

[@npoleary]

Yes, it actually comes up with an automatic prompt when connecting Bluetooth 🤓 Traditionally iPhones weren’t able to do it with older iOS versions but they have been able to over the past couple of years

[@MrWestcliffe]

Great tutorial again Nick . Well done. I tied the window opening on my 2021 GLE AMG Line Prem+ and its not working, do you now if it should, or how can I check it in a spec list or manual please? I was surprised that an A Class can do it and mine can't. Many thanks.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! It depends on the specification not all cars can do it, it depends if you have KEYLESS-GO or not, the one with the keyless access point on the handle. Could be the battery in the key or something, it might be a little lower than it should be...just a thought.

[@MrWestcliffe]

@@npoleary thanks for the fast reply. Well, a one year old car with the highest available spec at the time in the UK. Of course I have KEYLESS-GO. That is why I don't get it why its not working. I tried both keys, and non of them seams to be working. So I don't know. I need to keep using the Mercedes Me up for opening and closing the windows but its a little more fiddley and I need to have an internet connection.

[@npoleary]

Not sure then, if you get in touch with your local Mercedes they should be able to advise and let you know. Sadly there aren’t any settings for this in the menus on the cars

[@Poludoros]

Nick, which is the maximum distance we can try this feature? Do you have any ideas? Thanks, always a pleasure to watch your videos!

[@npoleary]

Usually only a couple of metres away from the handle

[@tapstring2]

Hello Nick. So incredibly helpful. My center screen in my 2020 GLC300 suddenly is always showing a video screen of the intersection at a stop. Not sure how I caused this. Can anyone help? Thank you so much.

[@npoleary]

Oh that’s Traffic Light view 🤓 It would be in Sat nav settings I’m sure, Home Navigation Settings (bottom right) Advanced Maybe “View” but have a look for Augmented Reality and Traffic Light view, just toggle that off per user profile (if you have multiple profiles)

[@Fillyfillyme]

@npoleary - would it be possible to somehow identify which Mercedes models apply to your videos? I have an older model and I’m very interested in all your tips and tricks!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! It’s quite tricky Mercedes sell just over 30 shapes of car (new!) so that’s excluding the years and variants too. Which model did you have and what year?

[@RobertA-ns3fh]

good to know!!!

[@tiffaniguy-barnes8075]

Hey Nick thanks for the cool ticks..how can I charge my keypad and does my car have a cigarette lighter I want to use my vacuum. I have a c300 2023

[@npoleary]

Most cars have USB or USB-C ports. Pretty sure there was at least one USB-C port in the middle of a C-Class when I last reviewed it. For a 12V socket, there’s one in the passenger footwell (top right).

[@Soulboy63]

Great presentation Nick. When making or getting calls , it cuts off the sat Nav , annoying

[@npoleary]

Hey David, thank you! Which model of Mercedes and year do you have? If you have MBUX (the one with Hey Mercedes) you can adjust it in: HOME SETTINGS SYSTEM AUDIO NAVIGATION & TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENTS “Driving Recommendations during call” Toggle that last one on 👍🏼

[@Soulboy63]

Thanks Nick , will try that ., It's a late 2019 , GLC

[@npoleary]

Ah that was the year I believe it changed so it might be okay with the above instructions Let me know how you get on 👍🏼

[@Chrisphoto52]

Merci pour toutes vos vidéos. Une question si vous voulez bien, est-il possible de mémoriser mes choix de cadrans dans le combiné d'instruments ? Quand je démarre mon véhicule, les 3 indictateurs reviennent à une disposition d'usine... Par exemple si je place l'affichage de consommation au centre, il sera remplacé au prochain redémarrage. Merci.

[@npoleary]

I’m pretty sure Mercedes models should retain the settings when using a profile, however it might go back to default settings if you’re using Guest. That’s what it’s like on mine anyway 🤓 If that doesn’t work just get in touch with Mercedes, I’m sure they’ll be able to help 🤓 Google Translate: Je suis presque sûr que les modèles Mercedes doivent conserver les paramètres lors de l'utilisation d'un profil, mais ils peuvent revenir aux paramètres par défaut si vous utilisez Invité. En tout cas, c'est comme ça sur le mien 🤓 Si cela ne fonctionne pas, contactez Mercedes, je suis sûr qu'ils pourront vous aider 🤓

[@wallyj2000]

Hi, thanks for all your help with all the tips and tricks. I have a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE. is there a way to do the tips and tricks number eight for some reason I can't figure out how to scroll through my presets only rather than every station, thanks

[@npoleary]

I would have thought that if you’re on the favourites menu, if you change the station does it not change the favourites? EQE’s on Radio I’m sure have the Radio screen labelled Favourites, FM/DAB, AM, Tune In Radio at the top. Sadly I don’t have my car at the moment and I haven’t got a visit planned at my local dealer so I can’t test it.

[@wallyj2000]

@@npoleary OK thank you

[@TheJoeBlack]

MBUX soon you will have everything with a subscription, just like at BMW. If you want heat in the seats, it is activated only through MBUX and it costs you $18 per month and the list goes on The buttons are, physically speaking, on/off buttons. Everything looks beautiful, but what you get with one hand is given to you with two

[@cathypella1417]

hello , i find your videos most helpful , I just brought a 2023 GLB250 and i am trying to get my adjustment entrance and exit working. i have it on under vehicle setting , any help ??

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Do check out my FAQ series! I answer common questions like that there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGrbZmmOjMmdf9E No 2 in the video

[@cathypella1417]

@@npoleary thanks so much but its still not working , I think maybe because of the back seat issue

[@adamali2103]

I drive a 04 corolla but this video was very interesting

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🤓👍🏼

[@petermechengsk5496]

I actually found the some of the voice commands slow. By the time I ask the car to close the sunroof, I had clicked the button long time ago. Anything that can be done by pressing a single button seems superfluous.

[@aliceburke4559]

Hello hello Nick is there much difference in the price of the GLA Mercedes and the GGLB

[@aliceburke4559]

I would like it with the five seats not that seven but I seldom see them with the five seats could you please help

[@npoleary]

Hey Alice, don’t think there’s too much difference between them but you’ll have to speak to Mercedes to get prices etc. 🤓

[@rezaziaei5017]

Hi and thanks for useful information. I am wondering when iPhone is connected to the EQE and MBUX is running too, if we want to call a person should we press the button on the steering wheel and say Hey Siri! Or Hey Mercedes? Which one ? Or if we just say hey Mercedes without pressing button call “ (command) Nick” is work?

[@npoleary]

No worries! 🤓 It depends if you’re using Apple CarPlay or not. If you’re using Apple CarPlay, I’d reccomend Siri but if you’re just using MBUX, stick with Hey Mercedes 😎

[@schwarzman01]

Hey Nick! Love the videos! Is there a way I can get a US made GLE350 German maps to navigate and use the street light when I come to a traffic light? Do you know how much it may cost?

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Sadly I wouldn’t know how it works if a car has been exported. Cars are only designed for the country that they were made for so it’s highly likely Mercedes me will not work when taken outside of it’s home country and the same goes for maps too. Only thing I can suggest is get in touch with Mercedes to see if they can offer any solutions.

[@schwarzman01]

@@npoleary thanks for the timely response. I’ll ask again (language barrier), but I was initially informed of being able to do map update which may help with navi, but not sure if will help with traffic lights. Thanks again!

[@Ken_Norman]

Brilliant!

[@DIYdave695]

Traffic sign assist, does this work the opposite way too, so if you were going from a 50mph to a 30mph, does it slow you down in time for the sign?

[@npoleary]

Modern Mercedes do have this where it slows down in time for the sign but that’s on cars within the past year or so from what I’ve seen. Check with a dealer for the exact car you have or are looking at and they can let you know.
