- In this video I show you 35 useful tips and tricks with your Mercedes Benz.
This video features the C43 AMG which is one of the AMG performance versions of the Mercedes C Class. My car is the 2019 C43 AMG Saloon or the C43 AMG Sedan for those across the pond :)
The C43 gives you that great AMG sound from the AMG performance and also the luxury of a Mercedes Benz
This is the W205 Class. The 2019 C43 AMG
If you like this car also check out some of the other great Mercedes AMG models:
A35 AMG
CLA45 AMG
C63 AMG
E63S AMG
Make sure to spec the AMG performance exhaust!

I never thought the mercedes me button could make a hotel reservation😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha yep it's crazy! Perhaps I should make more content with it. I wonder how they would respond if I called just for a chat because I'm lonely on my way to work!
🤣😂 Bmw had concierge services in 2013.
@@moea1122 Audi had before BMW lol
@@ABAUTOAMG honestly, you need commission for all this info you provide... SUBSCRIBED!!!
@@moea1122Mercedes had it since 2010 lol
The conciergerie thing is insane, HAHAHAHA. Nice video again :)
Haha yep they are really helpful. A lot of people ask what I'd do if I got a flat tyre with no spare since ditching the run flats. I'd press that button! 😅
Its a paying service though, 140$ per year
@@milenao4455 They told me $600 yearly for Mercedes Me
Comes free for the first three years on higher spec packages.
I got my C63S 4 months ago and so far found out only half (probably less) of your tricks, this video was brilliant. Cheers mate.
I've been driving several AMG models and I didn't know all those tricks. Your tips work great on my GT63s. Thanks so much!
Hey Jason, You are so welcome I'm glad you found them helpful. I'm a little jealous of your GT63s too! Awesome car!
My favorite tips were the Mercedes Me button tutorial, the double lock, the 10-second hold to only unlock the driver door, and the split-screen mode. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Christopher, glad you found these tips helpful! :)
Is the c43 good car
Of course! :)
@@ABAUTOAMG can't make my mind up pal from these cars 😁 RS3, C43, S3, GOLF R, GOLF CLUBSPORT 45, M340i, A45, A35 last leon cupra 290
@@ifarid02 I know! So many good cars in this segment! All you can do is test them all and buy the one that gives you the biggest grin :)
Very good enunciation, conciseness, and speed. I can understand you even though you aren't speaking English! (Sent from bayou country, LA.)
Great informative videos. Thank you 👍
I love your videos!! I’m getting my 2018 E300 on Thursday and I’m beyond excited! These videos are super helpful!!
Thanks Miranda. The 2018 E300 is an amazing car you are going to love it! One of my favourite Mercedes interiors and the E300 is a great engine too! I hope the collection goes well!
Thank you, brother! I'll make sure to support you and get some t-shirts for myself and AMG friends.
Thanks Darko much appreciated! If you have any questions about any of the t-shirts just press contact at the top of the website and I'm always here to help!
Thank you for this informational video! I learned so many hidden tricks. Keep up the good work!
Great to hear Rey! You are welcome :)
Another great vid. Learning all the time. Thanks again 👌👍
Thanks Gavin! Glad you enjoyed this one :)
@@ABAUTOAMG As always mate. 👍
Awesome video, mate! I knew a lot of these but still learned a few things. Cheers!
Thanks Dmitriy :)
Ditto.
Superb review, many thanks, very helpful, learned loads so cheers!
Thank you! You are welcome. I’ve got lots more Mercedes tips and tricks on my channel and am always making more vids.
All new owners if Mercs should watch this video - excellent tips and tricks.
I agree, very helpful to newer model owners.
Cool video! Thank you for the tips! Also it is filmed very beautiful!
Thank you Eugene :)
Thanks for posting!
You're welcome, thanks for watching :)
Great video, well put together and informative. I'll be checking out one of two features I've missed! Here's one you probably know already....The base of the door bins and front storage have a rubber bottom which pops out. Great for getting clean, especially when kids have left sticky wrappers or melted chocolate in there!
Thanks David! That's a good tip! I've noticed this but luckily never had to use it. I'm sure I will in the future though when the little one grows up!
Always looking forward to your vids. I just got a red 2020 C43 two months ago.
Thanks Pavan, Congrats on your C43. I hope your enjoying it!
I bought the C 300 sedan when it first came out. I had so many problems with it that Mercedes let me swap it for a C400. That car had even more problems… I was living at the service department. And that console piano black trim was a scratch and dust magnet. I couldn’t in good conscience sell it privately so I traded it for a C coupe made in Germany. That made all the difference in quality control (the sedans were made in US)…. almost 4 years in, only a few warranty issues.
Great video, but you can change tracks/radio stations using the steering wheel. You just have to select music or radio to display in the dash, using the right menu on the steering wheel - then you can scroll up/down using the trackpad which will change the track. I’ve been using it everyday since I had mine.
Ps glad to see you found my key charging tip useful 😉
Hi Roar Grime, Thanks for sharing. Quite the oversight from me not to include this! I was bothered by this in my prefacelift C300 which had the old steering wheel without the touchpads and since getting the newer C43 I guess I've been listening to the exhaust too much to realise the touchpads can skip tracks! 😁
I own the 2020 C43 AMG model for a few months now and didn´t know a couple of these tips and tricks, so thank you!
How do you like your c43, I’m getting my 2020 model on Monday and can’t wait
@@cstedyy425 It’s a fantastic car for city use. I live very rural with bad roads and actually scraped the bottom one time. So I had to return mine for a more practical car, and got a 2023 GLC AMG-line.
But enjoy yours!
Great Video, thanks ! Bisous de France !
I don't actually know how anybody buys any other cars..
I always default for a C300 4matic, so far your video has convinced me for my next Mercedes to be a c43 AMG.
You're forgetting the cool trunk foot sensor for when you're carrying things in your hands and can open/close the trunk hands-free.
18:25
or
a faster way is pull down the gear shifter to [D] driver and it will go back to automatic in less then a second.
Great video man 👍🏾
Thanks for sharing
The steering wheel CAN change tracks. You just have to be on the Media screen, but once you're on there, the touch button on the right side of the steering wheel can control the tracks. Swipe down once to go forward a track, swipe up once to restart the track, swipe up twice to go back a track. Only downside is if you're not displaying the Media screen, then this does not work.
Also, I've never tried the concierge service before so that was really cool! I wonder how much less the car would've cost if it didn't have that service haha
Ah, I didn't realise that. I do still wonder why we don't have dedicated keys for this. There's a few buttons I'd happy trade in for them! :)
@@ABAUTOAMG I completely agree!
Don't forget to disable the spare key also 🔑 Great video thx 👍🏻
Many Thanks, Peace From London. 🙏🚙
You are welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Great content, 🙏🏻
You’ve earned yourself a subscriber!!
I heard that your newest subscriber gets your car completely free?😂
I’ve been umminh and arring about getting one of these, I think the little quirky bits this car has, pushes it over the edge!
Not just need to wait for the market to come back down!
Looking forward to catching up on all your videos!👊
Thanks! haha I'd love to give free C43's to all my subscribers! If only!
Amazing job…thank you brother
Thank you!
Car is very well look after...Well done.
Thank you :)
Great video, Camera cleaning was what I needed, you should add a timestamp to when you talk about things :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the tip with the timestamps too. I'm going to go back through my longer videos and add timestamps now :)
Honestly, you need some serious commission for all this info you provide... SUBSCRIBED!!!
Thank you! I make these videos for my love of making content and helping fellow owners :)
Awesome video thanks!
Thanks Jonathan 👍
Great video. Thanks
Thanks!
Great video. In addition to tip #22: There is an "emotion start" provided by MBZ on AMG models. Simply hold down one of your shifter paddles before you start the engine, gives you a few good pops n bangs without going through all the other steps. Enjoy :)
Thanks Justin! Love the emotion start but unfortunately my C43 does not have it :( It got added mid 2019 to the C43 and mines an early 2019 so I just missed it!
Unsure about the UK but here in the US if you turn the ignition to position 2, then set the drive mode to Sport+ then start the engine, the car will rev on start exactly like the “emotion start” in newer models. My pre facelift C43 with the older command system does this.
@@cranehermitholy shit thank you so much
I do not understand everybody’s fixation on “pops and bangs.” There motion start on my 2023 C-43 AMG makes an interesting F-1 sound but “pops and bangs” sounds like you are having mechanical or fuel problems.
another great video😀 im collecting my 66 plate c63 amg in the same colour as yours tomorrow cant wait😀👍
Thanks Steve. Wow you must be excited! You are going to love it. Great colour choice too if I may say so! 😉
@@ABAUTOAMG just got home with it is amazing and that noise 👍and yes best colour of course 👍😀
Very informative 👍🏽
Thanks Kevin! :)
@@ABAUTOAMG Your tip/trick about pushing the turn signal halfway was my favorite! It did work on my CLA45.
Thank you
When you remove the cup holders to recharge your phone, you can store the cup holders in the Mercedes branded crate in the boot. Perfect.
You can change music track from the steering wheel! I can in my C43 with both touchpads on the new steering wheel atleast. You go to media and slide button downwards or upwards! Nice video :)
Hey Elvin, Thanks for the tip! I guess I'm a bit old school and miss the dedicated buttons for this :)
@@ABAUTOAMG Glad to hear back from you, just want to say I used ur tip alot latest week! That way to change media track was even easier... so I don't need to get out my regular screens to change song haha. I have had 5 Mercedes cars so far and never used that "button" before:)!
@@elvindani6371 Ah! Great to hear. These cars do have a lot of nice quirks and features. Enjoy your ride! :)
Excellent video.
Thanks Adam 👍
To do a loud start up put it in sport plus and then start the car but immediately hold the up shift gear thing then it will make the loudest start it can. Just a tip
Hopefully getting my first MB this next week, I was looking for an sq5 plus, whilst driving past a Citroen garage there was the curveball a 2017 GLC 350 d 4 matic amg in grey, which is like a spaceship inside, I said to my son that’s the one so reserve is on just sorting finance, you have got yourself another subscriber 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😎😎
Awesome! Congrats sounds like a great GLC you have found! Enjoy :)
@@ABAUTOAMG will send you link if all goes ahead🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Best of luck mate 🤞
Brilliant
Amazing i hope it will help me when i come yo Mercedes benz world soon 😀😀
Thanks, Hope so!
Awesome vid
Thanks Steve!
Top vid.. thank you.. anyone know where i find the qr code on the screen in the car to xonnect to mercedes benz me
\\\New Subscriber??? Respect to you my friend, I've just purchased my first ever Mercedes and you are introducing me to a whole new world. Martin from London.
Thank you! Welcome and congrats on your Mercedes too!
Hey man love the video!! I've had an issue with my C43 where there's a strange sound on start up, Mercedes-Benz have had the car for 6months "fixing" the issue, I now have it back but the sounds still there albeit much less and maybe not noticeable to anyone else but I know it will progressively get worse.. just wondering of you have had a similar issue??
Thanks a bunch, I just picked up my c250. Lots of neat things I had absolutely no clue about.
Ah you are so welcome! Thanks for watching and enjoy your new car!
great video.. i have a c400 does the car lower at times when park and turn off? and raises up right away turn on
18:14
hi, you can also push the gear selector down to D :)
Amazing vid and so much info, thanks! I know I'm 2 years late, but does anyone know how to stop Traffic Sign assist from showing up in the dash? I've tried everything and nothing works to turn it off from showing up.
Thank you! No problem, you should be able to disable it. What car model/year do you have?
@@ABAUTOAMG Thank you! 2022 AMG C43 coupe...I live in the US as well.
Another video where I did learn some things about my C class that I didn't know....thanks. I agree that the cup holder and phone wire not fitting is a design flaw. Surely MB could have done something where the cup holder would have given access to the phone wire....or else make it all wireless. One thing I do find slightly annoying is that the volume for my turn signal is really low. A lot of times after turning it on I forget to turn it off because the sound is low. Any idea on how to make it louder. On my old E class it was really loud!
Hey John, thanks for the comment I'm glad you enjoyed the video and learned some new bits! Ah, I know what you mean about the turn signals I'm actually the opposite! Having owned two W205 C Classes I guess my ears have become used to the more quiet turn signals so when I drove the new CLA45s I found them too loud! That confirms its though the C class is quite unique with it's quiet turn signals. I'm not sure if you are able to increase the sound of these though I'm afraid.
@@ABAUTOAMG No I looked for a setting but it doesnt exist, also have the 205 C class and I find them really quiet
Great tips again, especially the Me button
Thanks Mark! Glad you found it helpful. The Me button is great!
Gd vid
Abouto does c class still do proximity when the key fob is of like hold unlock and lock
Great video thanks 👍.
If you buy AMG or Premium plus does this cost more in road tax ???
Hey, Thank you. This will depend on the value of the car. If the car is more than 40k you have to pay an extra £390 a year for the first 5 years of the car from it's new date. So for example if your car was pushed over 39k list price from options such as premium pack it could push it into higher tax bracket but only before the car reaches 5 years old. This is for the UK :)
@@ABAUTOAMG much appreciated 👍😃
Thanks Mercedes’ man 👨
QUICK QUESTION, WHAT DASHCAM DO YOU USE IT LOOKS REALLY COMPACT AND OUT OF THE WAY.
theres two usb plugin in the armrest. one for carplay and one just for charging and also you forget the one trick where you hold down the shift paddle when car is off and push down on brakes and engine start you hear the pop sounds
Hi Mack, Unfortantely my C43 is an early 2019 model and they added amg emotion start to the C43 for mid 2019 onwards models. Gutted I just missed it!
Cavanite blue. Nice. Any problems wit comand screen failure bro? ty 4 vid
Hey, I’ve not ran into any issues with the Comand screen. Is yours malfunctioning?
@@ABAUTOAMG Yo Adam. No bro, i was considering buying a used C class coupe and heard screens can have issues a few years later. Good to hear. Update: Looking at a 2017 e class coupe 220d. thanks for reply.
I don't have park assist, does anyone know how much it would be to add that feature?
That first one is a brake hold, nothing to do with hills
Are all or most of these features available in the 2017 model ? Thanks a lot.
Yep! A lot of these should work on the 2017 model 👍
If you haven't already, could you make a tips video with the current MBUX system. This is the old command interface along with the out dated phone app.
Hi Andrew, I'm hoping to get my hands on one of these soon to cover the new MBUX and I'm also hoping to buy the new w206 C63s when it arrives so plenty of modern content to come in the near future :)
Maybe I should make videos with my E53 like you do :)
Go for it! It's tricky at first but I love making videos, its become such a big passion and we're building a nice little community here. One of the things I've promissed myself il do if abauto ever gets big is help new and small upcoming channels out as I know how hard it can be at the start.
where is the TCU mode to change to my driving preferences ?
@ 2:50 in your video, did you switch front grills on the vehicle ?
Nah thats the C63s, theres C43 and C63s footage in this video :)
Lexus has that fuel cap holder in the same spot 🤙
Just from the concierge service, I’m going to get one. Is it just for the AMG or ever C Class?
The concierge service was added to the c class with the 2019 facelift. I think you can get it on all models but it may be an optional extra or part as a pack.
unfortunately, a lot of features are absent in my 2018 C-Class convertible. I'm stuck with the old command, 3 colors ambient light and way less options to set .
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Learnt a couple of tips - sadly command touch does not support the iPhone
Hey David, That's a shame to hear I saw they had apps on the store but I use an android phone so I've been unable to test them myself.
Hi all. I don't have this crazy C43 AMG version, i have the 220D 170 HP. Does anyone know if the difference from the 170 HP to the 204 HP is only remaping? Thx! Please keep up these great videos! Sorry my english...
Hi! You should feel a good power increase with a remap on your car :)
@@ABAUTOAMG THX! I think so....I guess it's about 1 sec. fast and almost 10 Kph more. My question is if it's only software or something mechanic. I can get to 225 HP easy....I will post if i do it! Nice car you have!
its my dream car i just want one so baddddd
on my c class u can actually skip songs u have to press the home button go to media and once ur in media u can use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel
Do you know how to set start stop permamently off? I had it turned off for almost 2 years (yellow icon with crossed A) but two days ago it changed and now I have to turn it off every time...
Hi Sw3ar, I'm not sure myself. Have you tried turning just the ignition on then switching it off before starting up the car? It may stick next time then otherwise I'm not sure if it's possible.
Could you try using the new mbux system?
Hi Adit, I'd love to do some reviews and videos on the new mbux. I'm hoping to be able to borrow some new cars to test from Mercedes this year. I will be covering the W206 C class when it arrives too for sure.
actually for tip 22 there a way faster and easier way is holding one of the paddle while turning engine which called motion start I belive but not all car has it only newer ones but I assume urs does have it
I love emotion start but unfortunately my car does not have it :( They added it to the c43 mid 2019 and I have the early 2019 model.
@@ABAUTOAMG ohh i see sad ohh well maybe one day we both get the new cars and we both do it xD
I didn’t know the trick with the indicators for changing lanes. I can’t stop doing it now. 😂
haha great :D I will admit I try to use it as much as possible myself 🤣
@@ABAUTOAMG Also wanted to say love all your vids. I only just recently bought an A class but I really like how Mercedes keep a lot of the same features throughout the models.
@@ABAUTOAMG Hello, What TIP # was that one so I can view it again. Thank you
Actually if you want to skip or go back on a track all you have to do is have media on your dash screen and swipe up or down on the black square button on the right of your steering wheel.
Do these features apply to SE 2017 also?
Quite a few should work yep!
Do people prefer the coupe or the cabriolet’s in say the c43 or e450 models
Ah I think it really depends on the person. I personally love a coupe but can appreciate the cabriolets are great on the C class range. Especially the AMG's :)
For the hill hold, after I put it on Hold, then jab the brake pedal hard, the Hold releases, so I don't have to use the Accelerator to let it go. Is that working as intended?
Once its on hold I dont touch the brake at all I just press the accerator when ready to move and the brake releases
@@ABAUTOAMG that's how I expect it work, which it does. But there have been a few times when I jabbed the brake pedal, by accident, after putting it in Hold, and the car suddenly started moving. I don't think that's supposed to happen. I'm wondering if this happens to other people too?
Hmm im not sure It may be that any pressure on the brake pedal resets the system and deactivates it so the car moves. I will check in mine next time im out.
@@jamirajamira7303 yes, pressing the brake again after being in hold does put it back into drive. I figured it was normal. 2022 GLA45
AMG
hey man, i recently bought a second hand 2019 c43 amg. i am supper happy with it apart from one thing,,, it doesn't have the performance exhaust. Do you think it is worth the extra money to get the performance exhaust, or do i just deal with it.
Hey! Congrats on your C43! The car still sounds great without the performance exhaust you just miss out on the crackles and a bit louder pops. The exhaust does make it better but its a great car either way!
What's the app called on iPhone
Hi there I gat C43 amg 2019 my car is keep saying navigation updates or Sd & navigation is not working any tips on it thx
Hey Louie, Sorry I'm not sure how best to fix this. I suspect it may just need a hard reset. I'd take it to Mercedes and hopefully they can reset it for you without having to replace any parts.
Have you ever had issues with the heated seats? I've had 2 brand new mercedes (an A200d and a A220d) with the new MBUX system and they've both had defective heated seats. I've taken this up with the dealer but they just keep fobbing me off
Hi Chris, Sorry to hear you've ran into these issues :( I've had two C classes from new and I've never had any problems with the heated seats. It may be an a class issue or you might just be very unlucky :( Keep nagging the dealer they should fix this under warranty. If they continue to refuse then I'd try a different dealer, it can vary sometimes which is another pain in it's self I know! :( The only issue I had with my seats on my previous car (C300 Coupe) was the drivers side seat suddenly developed a horrible creek. I took it to my dealer and they identified a broken clip and replaced it for me and it was all good.
@@ABAUTOAMG thank you. Love your videos and your car btw 👍🏽
Turns out it was a faulty controller unit so I was actually just very unlucky! All repaired and working now. I look forward to your next video 👍🏽
@@chriskeefe4676 Ah thats great to hear you got it sorted. Thats so unlucky!
I need to check my trunk to see if i have that collapsable crate!
Aaron , yup , it should be under the boot floor and don’t forget the little retractable hook under the top edge under the boot for hanging your shopping bags on.
What is the app name for app store? iPhone
You’re mistaken about number 9, you do have a next/previous track button on the steering wheel, it is one of the square buttons (either left or right), swipe your finger to the right for next track or swipe your finger to the left for previous track, if I remember well is like that
The square buttons are mini touch pads if you swipe your finger on the right one it moves selection around the digital dash. And the left square controls the center screen. They don’t work to change track unless you use them to select the change track button on the screen so unfortunately this is not the same as next/prev track buttons.
@@ABAUTOAMG well, that’s better than nothing
for the camera shot at 7:30, how/where did u attatch ur camera to?
Hey Nassim, this is just on my tripod at a higher setting.
@@ABAUTOAMG ah ok, thanks
i dont see enging data on my c400 2015?
Did the 2018 c43 not get the new grills
Facelift c43 got the older c63 grill and c63 got the pano gril :)
Is this normal the different version of the c43 in your video ? I noticed the bumpers are different 😂
Hey, it’s all stock but it’s the 2019 facelift.
Please can someone tell me what year of c43 is this?
Hi, this car is a 2019 facelift model (they released the facelift at the end of 2018)
