CUSTOMISE your Mercedes INSTRUMENT CLUSTER! | MBUX NTG 6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лип 2024
- Customising your instrument cluster is something that has grown in popularity over the past few years & with the introduction of all digital screens, you can really personalise them to your liking.
Today I run through how the touchpad on the steering wheel work and what each of the elements mean on screen behind the steering wheel. Today's main car featured is an EQA 250 running MBUX with the two 10.25 inch displays showing off what you can really do.
Of course, please bear in mind as always not all cars and their specification are the same, if you have the 7 inch screens then you can still customise your instrument cluster but it's just limited to one dial at a time due to it's size and resolution.

Hi Nick - this is Roger, you handed over my new A250e PP to me at Poole on Thursday, great video as usual, very informative and far quicker to take on board the data than churning through the Owner’s manual. It was great to meet you the other day and please keep up the excellent videos - ps loving the car, still discovering new features !
Hey Roger! Ah perfect, glad you’re enjoying the videos! Oh there’s loads of gadgets on the cars! Always something to explore! 🤓
Thank you so much Nick. You are the best You Tuber ever!!! Explaining short, simple, clear and easy to understand. keep up the great work. i am always supporting you.
Thank you Binh Le for your kind words! Glad you’re loving the videos! 🤓
Thanks a lot Nick ! If l have a question about my MB , l just watch your video and….l have an answer !
You are The Best
Aha! 🤓
Thank you Algis! Glad you enjoy them! 👊🏼
Thank you so much Nick for this video it was helpful I got the Mercedes and to get started and the new features this helped a lot.
thank you Nick, you showed a lot of useful information as always!
No problem chdoors! 🤓
A good overview of the customization options. In the middle I have always set the display of the Distronic.
Thanks Sven! Ah awesome that’s good! Good display to have if you have Distronic!
I'm about to go try these on my car now. Good info as always. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Cool! No problem 🤓
Hey Nick , My 7 year old daughter (German speaking and reading ) could configure digital panel and was explaining to my wife .. just based on knowledge which you shared !!!!
Kudos to your work and thanks for sharing ! Keep sharing !
Greetings from Germany - Pankaj & Spruha (my daughter )
That’s amazing thank you! And wow, that’s so good to hear!
If it helps on new uploads I also include translated German subtitles now (don’t want to take away learning another language though!)
Thanks for sharing and watching! 🙏🙏
@@npoleary That’s nice of you , but my daughter understands English bit and probably she will learn fast English if she is watching her interesting contents .
Thanks Nick, it took me a while to work those paddles out
Thanks for another great video Nick 👌
No problem Mark! Glad you liked it! 🙏🙏
By accident I holded my lock and unlock buttons. And only my doors unlocked. Now I know thanks mate!
Thank you! Great video for a great machine! Very, very helpful!
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Amazing tips! Thanks. Cheers from Brazil
Thank you! 🙏
Hi Nick, another great video thanks 🙏
Thanks Jag! 🤓 glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Nick!
Great video, Nick… I always learn something I can use in my own car :)
Thanks David! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤓
Nice vids, thanks
Hi Nick, loving the videos, really getting me up to speed with the crazy amount of technology in my new car.
I have suggestion for a video (as I'm getting confused). Can you do a video on profile setting for users so that the car setting (seats, mirrors etc) change when each user gets in. Thanks.
Hi Gary, thank you! Glad you like the videos! 🙏🙏
Actually I have already covered the profiles in a video already 🤓
ua-cam.com/video/L8N-jWz0KV4/v-deo.html
It is very country specific and car specific with seat settings on profiles. Some do and some don’t so unfortunately it’s just a case of trying it. It does however save everything else on MBUX which is amazing 🥳
@@npoleary thanks Nick. I think the thing I'm struggling with most is the auto mirrors / seat position settings and getting the car to recognise those in the profile. I've only had the the car a few days ago I'm sure I'll get there. 😀. Loving the videos though they have really helped me get up to speed.
Great video. Thanks
Thanks! 🤓🙏
Hi Nick, really great series of videos. I've had my EQS finally delivered. It's a great car. Watched all your vids whilst waiting. I've tried configuring the driver display as per your mbux tutorial, but all I can choose is the various themes. Does the EQS mbux let you configure the left or right dial display or are they locked down?
Hey Graham, thank you!
Yes I want to remake this video as NTG 7 (found in EQS) has pre-set themes.
I’ll make a new soon hopefully! 🤓
Just got a new CLA premium 180 in white a few weeks ago, still finding out what she can do. Had a 70 plate a class hatch, but was too small.
Just discovered how keyless entry works, there’s always something new.
Wish it had better mpg though.
Ah awesome Elle! Yeah CLA’s are amazing!
Oh cool that means you’ve probably got the ambient lighting! 😜
Lol I am going to use this video to De clutter my Merc GLE450, thanks Nick 🤙
No problem SC! Glad you enjoyed it! 🤓
Great info as usual, thanks Nick. I have just taken delivery of a B250e Premium and have learnt so much from your videos on how to set up various MBUX features and the best way to use the vehicle. I am really pleased with the car. The ride is nice (pity about the road/tyre noise on certain surfaces) and its great on battery range. I have had 3 other PHEVs of other brands in the past so by now I have learnt how to get the most out of a charge! Have you covered anywhere how to use the favourite button? Is it possible to add lane keeping assistant into favourites, so I could call it up easily and then temporarily switch it off without having to go through the normal menus? Really appreciate all the effort you pit into this channel!
Hey Roger, thank you glad you like this one and all of the other content!
No I haven’t covered a dedicated video on it but I did cover it in my very first Tips & Tricks video.
ua-cam.com/video/tS0OX6NGdWM/v-deo.html
I’ll add it to the list though as I think it’s a pretty good topic to cover in the future so thank you for the suggestion!
In answer to your question, I don’t believe you can add it to favourites but did you know there is a shortcut to get to it? If you press the Vehicle Settings button in the middle of your car next to your touchpad, it’ll open up the “Quick Access” menu. You’ll be able to turn it off in there so only two taps away! 🤓
Hope that helps!
@@npoleary Thanks for the tip, just tried it using the Vehicle Settings button. Much easier!
Aha no problem 🤓
love your videos really help sir
Thank you! 🤓🙏
Great tips.
Thank you! 🙏
Good job 👍😎
Thank you! 🤓
Another great video Nick. I have an A-class 180d (2019) and it doesn't customise enough for me. but what I want to ask is why won't my tyre pressure show as PSI in the service menu but it can be changed to PSI in the Mercedes me app on my phone?
Hey Ronnie, sadly that’s just the way most German cars are. They use KPA primarily over there in Europe because KPA is more accurate than PSI.
Would be good if you could do PSI though!
I now understand the location of the controls - right controls affect screen on right, left control the main screen on left (I'm in the UK).
The problem is that the printed documentation that comes with the car (have EQC) all shows left wheel drive setup, with controls reversed. It took me ages initially to get my head round reading something in the paper manual, then having to reverse it for my car 🙄
Ah cool glad you manage to sort it! Yes I know the manuals are all left hand drive 😅
Great video
Thank you! 🙏
I’m getting my screen replaced in my GLB, it has a strange glitch, if I leave my doors open for too long before entering the vehicle the screen doesn’t come on when you start the car. Anyone else have any problems? Other than that love the car and interior.
Great info, I've just purchased a new CLA Prem Plus but not all those functions are available, Augmented reality on SatNav not installed and the full screen SatNAv on the instrument cluster not installed. Would be good to get a view of what is not being provided due to the chip shortages presently
Hey Mark, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Really sorry I know there is a semiconductor shortage worldwide at the moment but your local Mercedes would be the best people to advise on what is affected if anything.
Thanks Nick, really appreciate all your MBUX videos. I have a question regarding having navigation on the instrument cluster. How can I change the orientation? It is set to North Up but I want to change it to GPS up.
Thank you!
Compass button on the left hand side when you’re on the Sat Nav screen 🤓
It’ll toggle
North

Hi nick great video
Thanks Joe! 🙏
Really nice video, sadly my 2019 GLC coupé with MBUX and 10" screens has half of that cool stuff on the instrument cluster 😢 on the left speed indicator there isn't at all customization and no map in the middle
Hey Edo, that’s right you can customise the middle screen and right hand screen on that instrument cluster 🤓
Swipe it to the right and you might be able to control the right dial!
@@npoleary I did it but I can only customise the dial that shows the RPM of the car, not the left one with the speed, also the middle one can't show the map but only the road indications
Hey Edo, yes that’s right it was based on the C-Class at the time which had the same features etc
It’s just the right hand dial that can change and the centre, the left dial is fixed to show your speed 👍🏼
Nick, great video as always. I have the EQC and cannot get the left dial to change. am i doing something wrong? I have the EQC AMG line premium plus. Surely this car will have the ability to change both dials?
Hey Carl, sadly no this isn’t possible on the EQC. It’s remotely based on the GLC and C-Class and you can’t do it on them either.
You can of course change the middle section and the right hand dial 🤓
Great video Nick! I have a 7 inch instrument cluster. Noticed at the start, the example you had gave the option for navigation. This is missing from mine, is it part of a package not on my car? I have an A180 sport executive
Thank you tim! Where abouts are you based? Sorry hard to tell in UA-cam comments! 😅
@@npoleary sorry mate, I’m in the UK. I’ve been reading up on forums about it. Some have it, some don’t. Wondering if it could be a software update
Yes some models do and some unfortunately won’t purely depends on the spec etc, when going up through the packages, you get larger screen sizes and more power graphics processors to display the different looks on the screen.
Hi Nick. Great videos, thanks. Could you make a video showing the top 10 “Hey Mercedes” commands? E.g., how would you change blower fan speed? What is the correct phrases to use? Thanks
Hey Craig, that’s a good idea! I’ve got lots of suggestions for future videos but I’ll add it to the list! 🤓
@@npoleary Thanks Nick. One thing, can you confirm rear air vents are not functional on my A220D AMG Premium Saloon? Surely they are not just cosmetic? Cheers.
Hey Craig, you can turn them to match the front vents 🤓
Horizontal is open
+
Vertical is closed
Also make sure it’s set to AUTO at the front and it should come out at the back 🤓
@@npoleary Thanks Nick...I had a senior moment there...🤣
@@npoleary he did you knew that there is a modification for the screens so that you have a : amg badge in the cluster + functions as ment for the official AMG cars
Thank you for the great presentation Nick. question please: I see on your video (5:28 time ) that you have an additional speed indicator in kilometers, can you please explain how to get it on model S580 2021 thanks in advance.( had it before disappear, and I cannot find where to do it again)
Thank you! Oh the additional kilometres? That’s always there you can’t change that.
You can toggle the main one and the kilometres one if you wanted to show km up front nice and big to easily see
Hi Nick, I’ve found all your videos of great help. But, as someone who owns a new GLA with the 7inch smaller screen, I’ve hit a few problems. Recently, after using the on-board computer to check the oil level via the “Service” tab, I had real problems returning the screen to its previous mode without the service or other menu showing in the centre. Returning to my 'normal' speedo view seemed impossible. Studying the handbook didn’t resolve the problem for me. Any chance that you could make a similar menu for the non-premium versions, without the larger, super-size screens please? Ken
Hey Ken, thank you! Glad you love the videos!
Actually it houses the same buttons on the steering wheel if you have a 7 inch screen vs the 10 inch screen.
So to get back (I guess you had it on your speed before) just press HOME, then swipe across to TRIP. Click it in there and then swipe up and down.
@@npoleary many thanks, I shall try that.
Thanks Nick, I guess it will apply to the electric turbo on my AMGE53 Bi Turbo?
That’s it yes 🤓
My digital gauge cluster screen is scratched. Does anyone know if the plast screen is able to be replaced without replacing the entire digital gauge cluster? Mercedes C Class 2019.
Hey Nick!
Im picking up my new Mercedes A200 next week, do you have any advice on what i should be asking about the car as im picking it up? There's a 30 minute scheduled handover for them to show me the car and for me to ask questions
Been binging your videos in anticipation for it to arrive!
Hey Lord Fuzzyboots,
Ah awesome! Very nice!
Ah 30 minutes should be loads of time unless you have loads of questions 🤓
I saw a option to have the amg cluster in a non amg car . I wish there where more clusters available
Great video as always Nick, many thanks. Just one query, I have a GLC 300 4Matic AMG Line bought December 2019. I can customise the middle section and the right section of the screen, however I simply cannot amend the left hand section. When I swipe left it does not go any further than the middle section. Any ideas? Cheers, Geoff.
…..meant to add I do have Premium Plus which includes MBUX.
Hey Geoff, thank you! Yes you’re absolutely right the GLC is based on the C-Class and is the same in that model too. The customisation of the left dial is unique to cars that have the full widescreen across. Don’t worry it’s not a fault as all GLC’s with MBUX are like this.
On your GLC you’ll be able to customise the middle section and the right hand dial 🤓
Hey Nick.
Maybe you know why i don't have progressive theme for cockpit in my mbux (i have classic, sport and understated). A klass 2018 W177.
Is it possible to add it or it feature in newer cars?
Depends on the specification of the car and year of release, not all cars have the equipment.
Really sorry I wouldn’t know you’ll have to ask Mercedes!
Hi Nick, I just got a a new A Class and love it and thanks to your informative videos getting to grips with all the tech, so keep up the good work! I do have a problem though and wondered if you can help? I plugged in my USB stick full of songs to play but the problem is whenever I switch off the ignition and start the car again, whether it's 1 min or 1 day later the music always starts back at the beginning again instead of where it was up too when I left the car! All my other previous cars where I've played music via a stick just carries on from where the last song finished. It's getting really frustating having a USB stick with a 1000 songs on and it just hearing the the 1st few songs over and over again! Any ideas? Thanks!
Hey Rog, ah perfect glad you like the videos!
Unfortunately no this is the way it’s designed. When the car is switched off, it does not retain where your music left off as in Mercedes it’s down to the music player to hold that info. As it’s a USB stick, it’ll just play from the start.
The only couple of things you can do are to transfer music to your phone or a dedicated MP3 player that can retain where you left off. Or potentially, just a thought you could pop the track list onto shuffle? It’ll of course play everything in shuffle but at least then you won’t hear the same songs at the start.
Hope one of those two works for you 🤓
@@npoleary Thanks Nick, OMG I'm gutted, seriously! My Basic Golf 1.5 and before that my 1.0 little Polo just carried on playing from where it left off and this car at double the price with all the latest so called tech on it can't do this? I was beginning to think I was going crazy as I kept thinking as I'm driving..'I'm sure I've heard these before!' Oh BTW it's exactly the same stick that was in my previous cars too :( Well anyway Manybe I'll have to look at some of your solutions and big thanks for clearing that up..at least It'll stop me going crazy!
@@npoleary So just to clarify If I buy any old cheap MP3 player and plug that in armrest where the Stick was and leave it there, it should play from where I left it? Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Hey Nick! as always nice video! One question: do i have this nice full screen map in my brand new EQC? Any ideas why i cant select left "tube"? Tnx in Advance!
Hi Vitality, sadly no, EQC’s can’t do this as they’re based on GLC’s, GLC’s can only change the screen in the middle and the right hand side.
But you can still put the map over on the right hand side 🤓
@@npoleary its very pity 🥺. But anyway tnx for your reply. Saved me a lot of time searching for the right settings in self-doubt 🤪😁
No problem 🤓
How are you finding your EQC?
I know in Sport mode, they are rapidly fast!
Hi Nick, many thanks for leaving your reviews 😊
Nick I've 2018 S Class 350 D, speedo meter and reading does automatically go to the Km in units where is want it in miles permanently, each time I change it, its only last till I turn off my car and when I start again after couple of hours...... the setting goes to Km but the rest of things stay the same........ can you kindly help me with it? Hope to hear from you soon, Regards Ali
Hey Ali, thank you!
I’ve not heard of that before! The only time that setting would change would be if you or someone changed it. If it’s not saving, I would definitely speak with Mercedes, they’ll be able to take a look! 👍🏼
Nick you are fantastic!!! I just bought GLC 300e, 2021 model and i am not able to find option for full screen map on cluster .
Please let me know if this is possible and if i can pay somehow for this option?
Thx
Ah awesome thank you! Not sure that a GLC 2021 can do that, I’m sure the “full screen map” came out on the GLC new model in 2023.
If you have a GLC with a digital instrument cluster though you might be able to change the right hand dial to a map 🤓
Hi Nick. Thank you for your videos. how can I remove LIM on my GLB instrument cluster? Thank you
No problem
So your instrument cluster will always show you either the cruise control symbol (greyed out) or LIM (greyed out)
They will go green when you press the SET button and turn it on.
However if you’ve used on of these, your screen will always show you one of those two indicating what will happen when you press the SET button.
Oh ok thanks. Never had it showing before just like in your video its not on the cluster
Hey nick great video, my digital speed has disappeared! anyone have any advice?
Just use the trackpad closest to the driver’s door (or up and down arrows depending on your year and model of Mercedes) to control it 🤓
Which model and year do you have?
Nick, any chance of doing a video on how to use track pace properly ?
Would love to do that but sadly don’t know anyone who has access to a track to try it out! 👀
Hi Nick, rather surprising that no " Lane Assist " is available on my brand new Mercedes GLB 250 4 Matic. Do you have any suggestions ? Love your videos a lot and deeply appreciate your efforts.
Hey Bharat, where abouts are you based? Sorry it’s hard to tell in the comments. Spec varies massively round the world!
A very good video as usual. I want to emphasize that NTG6 is much more customizable compared to NTG7. Is not it strange?
Thank you!
Not necessarily 🤓
The themes are more graphical and fluid on NTG 7 where as NTG 6 allows customisation of individual dials. User preference of course!
I’m sure Mercedes are working on NTG 8 probably already! 😆
How do you setup any part of the display to show a direction (N, NE, E, etc.) indicator? Would like to do on 2023 S class. Best if could be part of the status bar on the head up display.
Hey Simpson Jack, I think you can do something with your current position on the main display. I haven’t been in one since I last reviewed it on my channel but if you hold your finger on the current location icon in the middle of the screen on the map, I think it brings up an option for compass.
Hi Nick, Great video as always!!, I've tried to look my issue up but no joy, I don't have the Navigation option for my Cluster display but have AR on my main display, I've read if you have AR you should be able to have Nav on the Cluster display, is this correct?
Hey Dave, thank you! Glad you liked the video! However when it comes to features like this, sadly they are very model specific. Which model and year do you have?
@@npoleary Hi Nick,thanks for the reply,I have the 2019 Mercedes A Class A200 AMG line Premium
Hey Dave, it can vary, most commonly though you should be able to put the map on the right hand dial (in replace of the RPM)
Use the touchpad closest to the driver’s door, swipe right, then swipe up/down 🤓
@@npoleary Hi Nick, thanks again for the reply, i have all the options you do in your video but dont have no navigation option☹️ when going through the options,
Dear Nick thanks for the beautiful videos I have got a EQA 250 year of manu 2022 looking at Mercedes me cannot see Dash cam if there is any way to upgrade my car to this feture pls
Really sorry I wouldn’t know what spec people’s cars have on here! 😅
It’s only models that have Augmented Reality, so if you’re not sure just contact Mercedes and they can check for you 🤓
Hi Nick, I have a small icon in the middle at the top of the instrument cluster of my AMG, reading Ready on a green background, but I cannot find out what purpose it serves. Can you enlighten me?
Ah “Ready” is to do with the electric elements on your car. It’ll either be a
Mild Hybrid
Plug-in Hybrid
All-Electric
It just let’s you know the car’s engine / electric motor is on and live, so it’s ready to drive.
Hi Nick! I have a 2020 new gen B class, and i noticed i'm missing the full screen map on the cluster, is there a way to upgrade the system or to install it without going aftermarket?
Hey Riccardo, no sadly not, only selected models can do it.
Basically there was an option called Advanced Navigation Package which included faster processors and a higher graphics card to cope with the extra graphics. The actual option it gave you was Augmented Reality which sadly isn’t around anymore on most models.
Hopefully it’ll come back one day on newly launched cars!
I picked up my Mercedes A200 Executive yesterday, and believe that the display is 10.25", but I don't seem to have the option of setting up 3 instruments on the screen (I only have a single dial showing). Am I missing something, as the video makes it look super easy/simple? By the way nick, thanks for all the videos, I've spent hours watching before choosing my Mercedes and picking it up.
Hey Nedrab, ah okay an executive package in the UK provides a 10.25 screen on the left and a 7-inch on the right so it’ll only show one dial.
But don’t worry you can still customise it in the same way by putting the Nav on the dial.
Another great video mate 😀 Aussie Aussie Aussie at Tokyo 2020!
Hi Nick! Love your videos! Quick question: I have a Mercedes with MBUX. Can the welcome screen (where it shows headlight/mileage or star/mileage) be customized?
Thank you! Some models allow customisation from what I’ve seen when reviewing them. Which model and year did you have?
I’ve always thought any welcome screen should have the headlight of the same model. Instead my B class shows A class’s one.
TL;DR: which code should I have for having full screen navigation on instrument cluster? I’m quite sure I started missing it after a software update 🤔
@alemarengo not actually paid attention to the light animation to be honest 😅
I’m usually in and go! 😂
Full screen CarPlay or Android Auto is usually on facelifted models from what I’ve seen. So the newest B-Class releases by Mercedes
Thanks Nick! Why does MB insist on misspelling "Assist" on the Assyst Plus screen?
Haha, it’s just a patented name by Mercedes 🤓
Similar to the previous multimedia system, that was called COMAND with one “M”
Hi Nick I am an octogenarian that has just taken delivery of my first ever MB, a 2021 CLA 180 Prem.+ AMG Edition with MBUX.Your tutorials have been essential to help me learn how to set up the MMI screens. Is it possible to show a permanent clock, preferably on the Instrument cluster right REV counter? Please forgive me asking if you have already answered this question in one of your tutorials.
Thanks Bill! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
On some cars you can add a clock to the left hand dial, I’ve made a video about the instrument cluster here: ua-cam.com/video/wRlJ8DEri8o/v-deo.html
Am hoping to cover it again soon in another video though 🤓
@@npolearyHi Nick, thank you, I have been able to set my left dial to a permanent clock and the right dial to consumption. On the bottom right hand side of the consumption dial there is an area marked "CHARGE". What is this for?
Charging the 12v battery 🤓
11mins 53 seconds in this video on my frequently asked questions series: ua-cam.com/video/tu_Aktw93v4/v-deo.html
Hi Nick,nice video as always
My question is that have an A class 250e (2023 model) with a 7 inch driver’s screen.When I push the Home button on the steering wheel the screen shows Assyst Plus menu and not the style selector is there a method to change the style of the screen?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
So if you have a touchpad, in the middle of the car then it’ll be before facelift. If you do not have a touchpad then it’ll be after facelift.
With the Touchpad, you should have that menu behind the steering wheel but if you don’t you’ll be able to change it on the centre screen. Home, Settings and then System and I seem to recall it was the first one.
If you do not have a touchpad, there are pre set themes but you can’t change the colours, so you can only change the centre dial.
@@npolearyThank you for your answer
Hi nick your videos are great - I’ve just picked up my new 2020 c class 220d sport edition premium, it has a full digital dash - I had mbux in my a class and I’m just wondering how you can change the navi display in dash to 3D I can’t find the option !? It it possible ??
Hey Paul, unfortunately that’s not available on the C-Class as it doesn’t run MBUX and also because it doesn’t feature the full widescreen stretching across the dashboard.
There are however digital screens which allow you to change the theme, and of course you can swap out the dial on the right and put the Navi there but no sadly not full screen.
As it’s different to MBUX, you might be able to change your left screen (just thinking of a workaround).
Press:
HOME
SYSTEM
DISPLAYS & STYLES
ADDITIONAL DISPLAY AREA
and change this to Navigation
This spilts your multimedia screen in half something you can’t do in MBUX 😝
Hope that helps!
Brilliant nick thanks!
No problem 👊🏼
Hi Nick, do you know if it's possible to use Android Auto/Carplay on the centre screen for media etc. But at the same time, use MBUX Navigation (full screen) on the drivers display. BTW, the car is an EQB 350 AMG premium.
No sadly not Android Auto is for the centre screen in any car. Same for CarPlay too. However Apple did announce that they’re working with selected manufacturers to offer support to Instrument clusters in the future. This has been radio silent from Apple though for a couple of years so still trying to find more out. I would highly doubt this would work on any car right now, this sort of thing would be for models to come in the future. So something to look forward to for cars in years to come.
Hi Nick
I have just brought a 2019 A250 premium plus 4matic. Do you know if it is possible to get the large mph number in the middle on the right screen like in this car? I cant seem to be able to do it in mine, can only get it at the top.
Hey Todd, ooo very nice! No sadly I’ve noticed not all cars can do it, I’m not sure why. It kind of depends on the specification and the year of manufacture.
Hi Nick, loving your videos, i just bouthg a 21 A250e Premium plus and your videos have helped to work out how ti use it. Would you be able to do a cvideo on how to best use the hurbrid tech to get close to the silly M{G figures that Mercedes quote for this car.
Thank you!
Ooo nice!
Well the issue is with plug-in hybrids is that you may potentially be looking at the wrong stats and the WLTP measurements you will have seen don’t help. They’re not really built for hybrids, I’ll explain so bear with, I wrote this out to others too.
When it comes to MPG readings, hybrids should also be using mpkWh. It basically depends on the journey you do. So for example, if you drove 2 miles up the road, went into the shops then drove back and the engine didn’t switch on, you will have achieved 999+ miles per gallon, because you haven’t used any gallons of fuel, just electric.
Another example, same trip but if you accelerated hard at the lights just once, then drove normally for the rest of it, then your MPG might be around 300-400 MPG because it averaged out on electric for most of it.
And the final example, same trip again but this time you drove there on electric and then drove back with the engine on “Battery Level” (this mode uses the engine) then your MPG might be around the 100-200 MPG mark.
Miles per gallon is very tricky to work out on hybrids because there is another source of power pushing you around which throws off stats. MPG is used to measure how much fuel we use, where as electric is measured in MPkWh (miles per kWh)
This is why that figure seems high on short journeys but less on longer journeys. Of course the more you run on electric and plug it in, the better your MPG will be but with a plug-in hybrid you don’t have to complete a journey.
@@npoleary thanks Nick, that makes sense, and had a feeling it would be something like that, most of my journeys are local short ones so can use electric for them, and i have the backup of the petrol for long journeys. I did make the mistake of going straight to full electric, that car lasted 2 months, lost money on it but i couldnt live with not having the confidence for long journeys. Really love this A250e
What EV did you go for?
@@npoleary I had the Pegeout e-2008. For when i changed to this i was also considering the Audi A3 Hybrid Mercedes obviously won
Nice! 👍🏼
Hi Nick. I am pleased to report that my E class coupe has the self parking function as you demonstrated in the video despite being manufactured in November 2020. One question, the Sat Nav gave me a hard time in London by selecting odd routes which I guess was caused by the “live traffic “ option. Is it possible to turn it off? Many thanks.
Ah awesome!
Well November 2020 is around about the time the E-Class had a facelift so not sure if you have the new one or the previous one.
In both though you can turn off Live Traffic but it’ll vary slightly between either one.
Do you know if you have the MBUX system with Hey Mercedes?
@@npoleary Thanks Nick. It is the face lift model with MBUX and Hey Mercedes.
Ah perfect, so on the menu bar on the bottom, you can tap the settings icon and there are a couple of options in the Route section in there to disable it.
Dear Nock , thank you very much about the information of Mercedes Benz . I have 2022 EQC new ev car . It shows Fault drive signs. Not to drive beyond 80kms per hrs .How can I fix this fault
Hey! Ah glad you love the videos! Really sorry I’ve never worked on Mercedes like a technician would so in that scenario I would advise just to contact them. Have a chat with your local Mercedes and they’ll be able to get someone to have a look.
Great job mate 🤌🏽🔥
Thanks Dony Phang! 🤓
Hi Nick
I have the new c220 2022 can I change the dials? I can't find that option. Another thing, in the consumption menu I have 2 leaves (brown/kobber color) what do they mean?
Hey Michael, you can press Home on the touch controls closest to the driver’s door on the steering wheel and select a few themes but no you can’t change the dials individually.
I haven’t seen that before to be honest, haven’t driven once since I last reviewed it on here 🤓
I know the Eco Display is different composted to other models with MBUX
I have a cla 250E 2023 model, but I do not have LED ambient lighting on the passenger side of the arm rest compartment; how comes?
There are settings to control where the ambient lighting appears on Comfort and then Ambient Lighting
Some models have more in the trim round the edges of the dashboard etc just depends on the model
On the C Class 2022 the time , temp etc I find is way to small on all the diff themes. I cannot read it without glasses. Is there a way to enlarge the print numbers please? Thanks in advance
Hey Kitty Burmese Cats, I have used that system a fair bit but sadly don’t recall seeing anything to adjust font size on there
Hey Nick , one question , my car has ambients lights but not in Air blowers / vents (that 4 circular pieces ) , do I missing something or I need ti activate something ? Pls guide .
It depends on the model of car, not all cars have the same design, some have a more subtle approach to ambient lighting where it’s only found under the panels
Is the navigation show up on the driver instrument cluster still limited to the in built nav and not for car play/waze? Asking for the c200 2019? thanks!
Hey Optimused7, yes it’s just for built in central display. I believe Apple are working on something for in new cars in a few year’s time.
They might announce something this year 🙏
Hi Nick, how come my MB B250e 6 montage old. load only for about 54 km. Insted of around 70 km. Electric battery power?
Hey Gerard,
Ah that's an easy one. All Mercedes-Benz just like all manufacturers undergo testing either through NEDC or WLTP.
WLTP is the newest one which offers more realistic driving however it is important to note that they are done at specific conditions to achieve the best range possible. You can achieve this but you'll have to replicate the conditions to get that figure.
There are many factors that influence range which can include the starting charge of the battery, use of A/C & heating, windows open/closed, factory-fitted options such as wheel sizes, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.
There is also something to note as well, Mercedes-Benz range indicators are just like the fuel range indicators on traditional cars, they will constantly change highlighting the range you will actually achieve. So for example if it's -5°C the range is going to state less because the car just informs you what it thinks you will get based on temperature. Of course that's in the cold, Air conditioning also uses power which influence the range too.
Hope that helps!
How to dim/blighting the infront display which is infront the driver in Mercedes e2019?
Next to your light switch near the driver’s door, there is a scroller wheel. Just swipe that one up & down to control it at night time 🤓
Is there no "Distance to Empty" on these new 2023 instrument cluster. I cant find a way to display these info that was available on both my 2011 & 2018 simple old school display.
Yes there is, I’ve just picked a new Mercedes up. It’s always shown just above the fuel gauge. You actually can’t turn it off, it’s always visible 🤓
Hi Nick. Why do you think they got rid of the customizations of the left and right dials on all Mercedes models. I feel like there's got to be something more than just saving money. It's weird to have it on my 22 a class but you can't even do it on an 23 s class. Kind of bizarre to me
It’s just a different generation multimedia system. I guess it depends how often people used it, as they removed it I presume it wasn’t used that much
When I press down the home button or the black button next to it on the wheel and then select something it just puts the radio on the little screen next to the wheel, what on the wheel do I press for it to appear in between the 2 dials behind the wheel? I’m trying to help my mom figure it out, it’s a 2020 c300 if that matters.
It purely depends on the multimedia system in the car but I’m fairly certain on that year of car, you can put content in the middle of the screen (in between the dials, but you can’t change both dials individually)
So on the steering wheel closest the driver’s door:
HOME
Swipe left / Right and select RADIO
Press in to enter
Hi Nick, This is Burak from Switzerland. First of all, thank you very much for your videos and I enjoy watching them. I’ve got GLA200(H247) amg pack and I cannot select full screen navigation on the screen behind the steering wheel. there are only 2 options, why could this be?
Hey Burak, thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Sadly not all models have that capability, it used to be primarily only found on cars that had Augmented Reality as they also have a graphics processor upgrade to deal with the computing power needed. It’s sadly not available anymore :(
Hopefully it’ll appear again on new models in the future!
@@npoleary now it is clear 👍🏼 thank you Nick
I have a US 2022 GLB 35 AMG SUV; is there some way to have the right screen defaulted to just a clock?
I don’t recall seeing that option to be honest
If it’s the same as the UK, pretty sure you can just swipe the touchpad on the steering wheel (closest the driver’s door) up, down, left & right to choose your preferred display.
Is it possible to customise older models like 2017 to have such interior? For example a c200 Amg interior 2017, customised to look like the 2022 model especially the dashboard
No sadly not, I don’t believe many manufacturers including Mercedes will offer retrofits. It’s why there’s a new model 🤓
Of course nothing stopping you doing something 3rd party but just remember the screens in a car do control lots of car settings these days so will most likely be more complicated and could be quite costly.
Can navigation entries get name of person entered rather than just street as you could do on previous version? I have mbux thank you
Hey Gerard, not sure I completely understand, you can name the favourites to a person’s name if that’s what you meant?
Hi nick i have just bought a 18 month old merc cla 250 from sytner merc Swindon do I get the remainder of the 3 year warranty with it
I would presume that it’s just linked to the chassis number or something. But I’d probably recommend just chatting with them if it’s an official Mercedes dealership and they’ll be able to let you know!
On the 2023 a class are you able to have music you are listening to, for example music on Spotify appear on the display directly in front of the driving seat? Only asking as would offer an easy way to cycle through tracks 🤷🏽♂️
You sure can! And then you can even swipe left / right to change tracks etc
@@npoleary that’s great to know that even a tiny bit of the CarPlay experience can happen in between the dials! Super excited to pick up my Mercedes now and can’t wait to try the self parking feature!!!
Well to clarify, it’s not CarPlay
It just shows you the song info, and you change go next track / previous track.
I wish it was CarPlay but no one’s done that yet although I’ve heard Porsche and Aston Martin might be the first to offer it
@@npoleary yeah fair enough, as long as I can cycle through tracks that’s my only worry!
Greatly appreciated learnt alot
Thank you John! Glad you enjoyed it! 😎
Hi Nick, once again a great video. I will finally receive my a class a200 amg line premium next Friday! Been a long wait and I was given the chance to get my car earlier due to the chip shortage affecting the 4g module and augmented reality function which would be installed next year January free of charge.
Quick question due to this would I still have the function of using full screen navi on the right hand screen with the augmented reality function being missing? If so I would assume that function would work when augmented reality was installed?
Also with the video chip being the higher model I believe nvidia reilly with the chip shortage would that mean once again I would have to wait for the augmented reality chip/4g module to be installed before I can watch video files in my car?
Would be great if you could assist on this matter.
Quick question due to this would I still have the function of using full screen navi on the right hand screen with the augmented reality function being missing? If so I would assume that function would work when augmented reality was installed?
*Augmented Reality works on right hand side of Main Screen (LEFT) only*
@@GrrMeister yes I'm aware of that but I have been told that without augmented reality a lot of features don't work like full screen navi on the right side and playing videos rather than just hearing audio.
@@yayomoveitgrooveit OK, Can play Videos [while stationary] from Flash Drive, not sure regards the rest. I have Premium + with 2x10" MBUX with AR and Traffic Lights assist, also fuel prices and weather forecast. I would be surprised if full screen Navi didn't work on the right screen as AR £500 Extra.
@@GrrMeister yep amg line premium doesn't have traffic sign assist which is a shame. Due to the chip shortage cars are being shipped without features temporarily and I was wondering if I was affected? Only 1 week to find out!
@@yayomoveitgrooveit ok good luck !
Does anyone know how I can stop the sat Mac auto zooming when it’s in the instrument cluster? I’ve disabled the option on the main screen but it still does it on the right side.
Hey Tom, sadly I think the instrument cluster map only has that one option, I don’t recall seeing a toggle auto zoom off over there, just the main multimedia screen
@@npoleary hi Nick, thanks for the reply. Ah that’s a shame, I really like having the map there but the constant zooming in and out bugs me.
Keep up the great work. I watch your videos even if I don’t have to haha!
Hi Nick. Where can I see how many kilometers I have driven with electricity and how many kilometers I have driven with petrol.
Thanks for all the great videos you have made it has helped me a lot. Best Regars from Denmark
Hey Vester, it can show you on the Trip section behind the steering wheel. Basically use the buttons on the steering wheel and navigate to Trip and swipe up / down to get to the section you want to see.
One of them is a section like this: share.icloud.com/photos/02hK0YL6r2ri4Tph7_FVT4tyw
It’ll show you the driving time and distance covered electrically 🤓
Thank you and glad you like the content! 🙏
Thanks :)
Hey Nick is it possible to upgrade those 7 inch screens to the larger 10inch ones at a Mercedes dealership?
No sadly not Mercedes dealers don’t retrofit anything to their cars. I’ve heard they might fit parking sensors but I don’t think they’re allowed to. Might be worth reaching out to them to ask though!
Hi Nick my name is Josie I have a Mercedes GLC 300d 2022 how does one eliminate ranging lights on my Mercedes thank you
Hey! Ah nice! Not sure what you mean by ranging lights? Do you mean exterior lights?
Can the Apple Car play navigation be displayed on the screen behind the steering wheel or is just the Mercedes map?
Just the standard mercedes navi will show on the right as shown in the video. Apple car play will only be on the left
Thanks Crispy Azaman! You beat me to it! 😅 haha
Yes just the centre screen, unfortunately Apple CarPlay and Android Auto haven’t announced anything like that but even then, I’d imagine they’ll be lots of programming involved for variations in screen sizes etc so probably a long way off yet.
That would be amazing though! 👌🏼
And to add to this: the MBUX navigation beats Google Maps and Apple Maps navigation. So there shouldn’t really be a need to have apple navigation on the instrument panel.
My Mercedes doesn’t show a number of miles left in the tank, I know on my old one it was something I had to do on the menu on the right side of the wheel but I can’t remember where it was. Can you help please
It depends on your model, there are so many years, shapes and variants.
It’ll be on one of the sides of the steering wheel under a menu called Trip 🤓
Hi Nick, great page! I have 1996 MB C280 and the mileage counter went to kms and I want my miles back! Help!
Hey Tom really sorry I’ve not sat in one before 2012 so wouldn’t know. Most commonly though, I would have thought it’ll be in the instrument cluster area to control that maybe some levers or buttons on stalks or behind the steering wheel.
Could I ask if you can move between 7inch and 10inch display? Our AMG seems to have changed to the reduced screen and cannot adjust back to the double dial? Any help appreciated.
Hey Chris, I’ve not seen that before
10” displays are always that size, I’ve not seen a setting to make it smaller
Hi Nick. I may have described poorly. On your video you have a section where the screen on the right is larger with two wheel dials. Then later it shows a single wheel for speedo. Ours seems permanently stuck on one wheel only and unsure if there is a setting to increase back to two wheels and fill the whole screen again?
Try holding the back button on the side of the wheel closest the driver’s door 🤓
Let me know how you get on
Hi Nick, Can you tell me what the two red marks on the speedometer are for?
Hey Nick, they’re basically popular speeds in Europe I believe but otherwise we don’t really use them here in the UK
@@npoleary Thanks
I`d llike to ask you Nick please. If I use regen-breaking does it wear my break pads quicker? How often do I need to replace those pads and what would be their cost? I appreciate your answers !!!
No it’ll make them wear them out slower 🤓
Brake Regen brakes using the electric motor but in reverse 🤓
So the pads and discs don’t touch unless you brake hard (more than what brake recuperation can do) or at very low speeds.
I heard once one an EV owner had done a year’s worth of motoring and only worn his brakes by 5%.
They should last even longer than petrol or diesel cars as they’d not used much 🤓
@npoleary wow that's amazing. I was not expecting that haha. What about the battery? Can you give me a rough estimation about the longevity of that? Also the battery's cost of change if you can...I apologise for the tons of questions but you have the knowledge and you are responding so quick that is almost unreal haha. I hope my questions helps other hybrid MB users too.
@Luisbone well EV batteries are rated to last as long as engine, but they often have warranties for up to 6, 8 and even 10 years. It depends on the car and manufacturer. Hybrids are usually 6 years from new though.
Haha no worries! Sadly I wouldn’t know cost for batteries, I don’t work for a dealer or Mercedes anymore. I went full time on UA-cam last year so you might have to chat to a dealer for costs of a battery.
@npoleary Thank you sooo much for your answers Nick. I thought it's a good investment to buy a hybrid but you just made it a better one with this info, haha.
I'm glad that you are doing well, you certainly deserved my like for the video haha. I wish you the best and please keep up with the brilliant videos!!
Hello Nick, this is Franky, How could I get wireless and full screen for my GLA 2022? Should I upgrade the whole MBUX sytem? If not, any chance will get it in future? Thank you.
Sadly wireless CarPlay or Wireless Android Auto are not available on NTG 6, this is they do not have a wireless receiver.
Also full screen is not available because of the different screen sizes on this version.
Be sure to check it out, I’ve answered these in my FAQ videos: ua-cam.com/video/N9x56XWdjIo/v-deo.html
