Well, my EQB Prem + turned up last week and I just watched this to learn more about the Interior assistant. I saw you did this in a GLB and I was surprised that the spotlight hadn't worked! I just went into my car to check and LOL ... the white plastic delivery cover for the sensor that should have been removed at the PDI was there. I will now have a proper play. Thanks again for the detail you go into in your videos, it told me immediately where to look and check if I had the sensor or not.

waited for this video, thanks Nick. the light on the driver side goes on when it is dark and you are moving your streched out hand up and down about 5cm/2inches. the hand has to be under the mirror. works quite good with a bit of exercise

We had this on a 23 E350 and had no clue until reaching for the passenger seat. Was startled a bit. But cool. I think my Coupe has it, now will have to check.

Noticed the reading lights coming on in mine when my hand was up near it, but could not figure out how to consistently get it to work, and still can't! Very strange feature since your hand had to be close to the buttons anyway so you might as well just press it!

The V gesture is interesting, no idea how you are supposed to find or know about that unless you're told haha

Hey Nick,
We’ve had our new CLE 300 4Matic for just over a week now & thought I’d let you know of a few of the tech bits & bobs I’ve discovered.
Re the navigation & which do I use?
The Mercedes nav with augmented reality is great but you don’t get notifications for speed camera, roadworks, etc. BUT there’s a hack to have your cake & eat it too! If you call up Waze by holding the talk button on the steering wheel & telling Siri to launch Waze on the centre screen with your destination you get all of those helpful Waze notifications. Then you say Hey Mercedes & ask to launch the Mercedes nav with the same destination . What you get is the Merc nav with augmented reality on the centre screen plus you get the audio notifications from Waze about speed cameras, etc over the speakers !!Brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻
Re getting your cameras to come on when say going into a multi level car park where the lanes between those concrete kerbs are tight. I’ve set up a routine that when doing under 10kph the 360 cameras come on automatically. At home similar we have a long narrow drive & I’ve done similar but created another routine with our home address triggering the 360 cameras.
It all works a treat - the Merc tech in the CLE is fantastic & I’m still discovering new things each drive👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks agin for another informative and educational video. They've been a huge help in understanding and operating my new SUV.

[emanmedhat]

Thank u again u r amazing

Hi Nick… Great video with helpful tips. Learned a lot of useful tips on my Mercedes watching the channel

[old_lion]

Thank you, Nick. Interesting. As always. 😃👍🏼

[colebudinsky]

Fantastic as always, I’m wondering if you would be able to do a trailing maneuvering assist video? Many thanks.

[JackBeckman]

Thanks for this. We opted not to have this on our vehicles when ordering (it was a stand-alone option in the US) as it just seemed gimmicky. After seeing this though I see how it could be useful.

[roystongonsalves]

Really informative video Nick! Thanks! Considering getting a version of the GLB but trying to decide between the premium plus or the exclusive launch edition, not sure what’s the difference between the two, but the later looks really appealing

[Bfld]

Hi Nick. Thank you for these videos. They are extremely helpful. Would you consider doing a video on how communications work. For example, where does the Navigation app get its real time data? Satellite or the driver’s smartphone data? Where does Live Traffic data come from? Similarly, the weather app. I understand that Mercedes has functionality that allows it to communicate with other cars to anticipate hazards down the road. How is it able to communicate with other cars?

Thanks very much.

You should make a video of BMW iDrive 8.5 vs MB MBUX NTG 7, I think it would be very interesting

[stuartbaker]

Oh mine is a premium plus something else to try tomorrow got a feeling I haven’t got it though

[dougstoberski]

Nick as always great job. I have E53AMG(USA). IOS18, now when I plug in my phone car play starts and my satellite radio cuts off as car play is running, I have to then select satellite from the mbux and then it comes back on. This did not do that prior to IOS18 is there a setting I can change to keep that from happening? I also notice that Hey Mercedes stops working also. Very frustrating. Along with it not displaying on the full screen any thoughts or suggestions? Thank You

[whoisnishan]

Hey Nick, your A-class should be able to have the driver’s reading light come on as well. I have an A-class and what I find is that my drivers light comes on randomly when I’m talking and gesturing - so I haven’t been able to figure out what gesture makes it work - but it definitely does activate.

Any chance you can find out how to make the drivers light work?

[schietdammer]

My 2019 B-class does not have it BUT this video doesn't show what happens after when you are near the mbux screen and it highlights something, how do you then activate it after it becomes bigger/focused. You then still have to touch the screen to really activate it?

[gordoncorbett]

Nick how do I switch off the speed sensor alarm permanently?
