I liked more the new camera system. Awesome stuff! Thank you for showing us :-)
Excellent job as usual. You are SPOT ON correct about the new MBUX in the 2022 S580. I love it and was SO easy to learn. I thought it would be a bit daunting at first, but a couple days in, and I felt like an expert! Of course, I watched everyone of your vids on this car, so I learned a lot of my tricks from you. So, thank you for the hard work you do!
Thank you James! And thanks for the awesome comment! I’ll be sure to cover the new MBUX in the future!
The cameras 🤩 also love the wireless connect feature but the camera...😍😍😍
For me it would be the camera system. Because, it would help people reduce getting curb rash on their rims when parking.
Really you make great video Nick👍🏽😊
Thank you! 😇
Hi Nick, mine was two things, first was wireless systems and second thing was camera clarity beautiful. Thanks for beautiful vlog 🙏
Thank you Jag! I know that camera is sooo cool 👍🏼 it’s amazing how they do it!
Thankyou 👍👍👍👍❤️
Thank you Nick for the video. I would vote for the new camera system. The 3-D view of the car & surrounding area when driving around narrow pathways and parking close to the curb would be very helpful. My 2021 E-Class has surround view, but not as good as what you demonstrated in this new MBUX version.... oh, one other thing... I am not too keen on the fingerprint reader. My tablet & phone has that feature and the reader is finicky. If your finger is cold, wet or not in the same condition when you first set up the fingerprint reader, it will not recognize you.
Thanks for another interesting video Nick. Love that vertical centre screen and think wireless Apple CarPlay would be top of my list. Hoping it makes its way down to more affordable models in the near future 👍
Yeah fingers crossed! 👍🏼🤓
From what I've heard, the S series with the Hyperscreen has a camera focussed on your face and specifically your eyes (as a driver). If you try to watch a video playing on the passenger side screen, then it stops the video playing!
Hey Laurie! Yes it does scan the pupils of your eyes but sadly the two sided screen thing isn’t in the UK. For the UK, the screen offers a 3D look without the need for 3D glasses 👓
Lol
Another great video to see what’s coming thanks Nick, my GLE interior could be look old hat soon.
Thanks Phil! Glad you liked the video! 👍🏼 Nah, all Mercedes interiors are good!
curb cam is just soooo handy …id like that in my benz
I love the camera system even though the cones gave me driver's education flash backs
My favourite thing? Simples - a fully spec'd EQS!
Hi Nick just ordered my new c class premium plus can’t wait swapping my GLC coupe
the 360 degree camera for sure
I hope we can see this screen in the EQB/EQC I would love this !
Thanks for the tips on the 360 camera Nick, I still haven't had a chance to play with all the toys on my new Sclass.. Will do this from now on tho with pushing the 360 camera when I park up. Btw the 3D screen is amazing!!! Esp in Sat Nav mode...👌😉😎
No worries! Yeah I know it’s so good! 😎
Greetings from Florida, USA, Nick. Thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your videos. I just took delivery of an AMG E53 last Saturday and I am enjoying it even more because I knew so much in advance of delivery by watching your videos. Would you consider a video specifically on cabriolets, please? Thank you!
Ah awesome Theodore! Thank you glad you love the videos! I hadn’t considered a video on cabriolets in general, I mean I’d defo cover them if a new model launches. What sort of info did you want to know? 🤓 Always open to suggestions for future video ideas! 😜
Great video again Nick. Had to laugh at pretend sound of an engine in an electric car but yes I would have on all the time 😂
I know! It is cool right? Having the option is great because on a day when you want silence…you can! 👀
Thanks for the informative video Nick! I recently bought GLC 300 2021, do you know if latest MBUX software updates will allow for wireless Apple CarPlay?
No worries! Any updates for MBUX are primarily for Sat Nav navigation updates or security updates. Sadly things like wireless Apple CarPlay sadly does not exist on the current GLC because it doesn’t have a wireless receiver for wireless Apple CarPlay.
Has nick got the new camera screen on your Mercedes Benz
I like camera system.
The parking camera things have addiction on it.. im used to park using my glc 360 camera.. and when bought the older c207 coupe that has no parking camera.. I feel missing a lot and not confident to park.. even tho im used to park without camera at all before..
Hi Nick. The camera system for me.
Hey Nick does the new MBUX CarPlay navigation integrate with the dashboard and head up display? And are there any changes to the dashboard and head up displays with the upgraded system?
It does sort of, you can’t of course view Apple CarPlay content on the instrument cluster but it does copy across Sat Nav instructions and if I remember the map too. Yes the instrument cluster is different too, with different themes but it doesn’t have a customise each dial thing like the current MBUX. It’s more pre set themes (around 4-5 if I remember)
Hi Nick, and thank you for this video, Mercedes is completely amazing love it and what’s next? Even more amazing cars, nick I own a A class 2021, and I wonder why my car have a center speaker but it’s not coming out sound from this? All other speakers play fantastic but just this one not playing, do you why maybe is some adjustment on the car’s screen? I don’t know, thanks one more time for all your videos, bye
Hey luis, Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Ah that central speaker doesn’t play music, it’s actually used for emergencies! In the event that you were involved in a crash or you used the SOS emergency button in the roof, this is the speaker that is used. This is because in case the doors were hit, the speakers in the doors would be rendered useless due to the impact.
EQS without the hyperscreen looks awesome 🤩 By the way, I’m curious, which model is your daily driver?
I know! On my Christmas list for sure! 👀 Ah, sadly really nothing special at the moment (in the process of buying a house). Premium car is for after that 👍🏼 I’ve had 3 A-Class’s before and have got my eye on an A 250e for my next one…or electric…undecided at the moment 😉
give that camera system an award for tech std.
Dashboard for sure nick.I would appreciate it if you present the burmester sound system
Hey Panagiwtis, Ah sadly it’s not on the C-Class in the UK
@@npoleary its crazy isnt? They even took it out the cla models as well
Hi Nick, great video. Will this version of Mbux this also be available on the 2024 GLS? Nick, some time ago I asked about integration of a FLIR PathFindIR (Thermal vision). I've found a different US thermal unit that can stream the thermal video via either Bluetooth or WiFi. Could I stream the thermal camera video feed to one of the mbux screens? Thanks Nick great video
Hey LJ, thank you! Hopefully but only time will tell! It’s been announced but I’ve not seen one yet. I would presume so! Really sorry as I only review cars and make tutorials on here I’ve not ever modified them so I wouldn’t of thought so.
@@npoleary thanks man, no worries. Once Ive installed one, Ill send you a vid on how I did it. Thermal vision is really handy, especially in foggy areas with lots of wild live. Keep up the great videos Nick!!
Oh yeah, sounds interesting! “contact@npo-media.co.uk”
Nick, have you found a way of increasing the volume on the Vivid Flux sound experience?
Just sport mode 👀 haha
hi Nick, great video thanks. we need to call you Mercedes doctor. my question please I have cla 200 2019 will we have an update to 2019 mbux system? thanks indeed
Thanks Lars! 🤓 MBUX will auto update over the air as long as it’s linked to your account with security bug fixes etc. This one is this video is only found on models with a portrait screen, it shares the same name but won’t work with other models. Unique to those sadly!
Great preso! Are you able to access your streaming services via the internet and stream movie content?
On this multimedia system you can tether your phone using internet or access wifi hotspots or pay to use data from the car 🤓 KZhead worked! Although I didn’t try Netflix or anything like that 😅
What is the data charge with the Mercedes Me Charge?
There’s no data charge, you just subscribe to the Mercedes me Charge service (I guess it’s included)
Hello Nick, maybe you can show in one of your next videos how to integrate Amazon Music to your Mercedes me account and to the NTG 7? Thank you so much.
Hey Stefan, I did look for this on the cars I’d been in but didn’t see it listed. I don’t know for sure (and am only hoping) but I’m hoping it’s coming in the future on a software update
@@npoleary thank you
I neee this sound in my cla petrol
Hey Nick, how to access the KZhead site on this MBUX 2.0 like you did in the video? Is it an optional equipment?
Ah I went onto the browser 🙏🤓
How was you able to watch KZhead or Netflix? Is it because you have the navigation system package
Not sure, Mercedes don’t disclose what thing you need to playback videos so it’s not always possible. It’s not something that’s officially supported I’m told. The best way is just to try or if it doesn’t work, there are 3rd party solutions: kzhead.info/sun/daWGe7Grr3Owp6c/bejne.htmlsi=o6Y7C3alsBfx9EJt
Dose your match Apple Watch work outside in the video I saw apple car play on it so obviously it works with out it
Ah no that’s my phone connected to it wirelessly 🤓 My phone’s the one that runs Apple CarPlay 👍🏼
Would you please happen to know how I can adjust the rear View mirror on C 300 Class 2022 . Seems to be fixed 💁. No online manuals either
Hey kitty Burmese cats, the rear view mirror on Mercedes is just adjustable by grabbing both sides and moving it. It may be quite stiff if it’s new as it might not have been moved before!
@@npoleary Thanks very much , I will try this
@@npoleary tried it today. You were right 😂, Thanks again .
Aha no worries! 🤓👍🏼
The centre screen looks good but it also looks harder to use because you’re having to look down, big screen all the way across the dashboard looks stunning, camera is cool. What car was that a C class?
Sure was! 🤓👍🏼
@@npoleary yeah the C class are nice refined.
Nick, my Android phone died last week, now up & running again, however, since reinstalling the MBUX App & pairing phone to my car, I can't get it to download my 'phonebook' have you done a video on this or if not, can you do one pls?
Hey Stuart if your phonebook’s not syncing on Android just ensure it is actually on the device. If it’s on the SIM card or Google Account, most of the time that won’t work. If it is on the device, just unpair the phone from the car and unpair from car from the phone and start again.
@@npoleary Thanks Nick, will unpair & retry
How can I play KZhead on my Mercedes c class 2023. I tried going into web browser. It does load KZhead but don’t stream the video
Sadly you can’t, it’s not something Mercedes have installed in cars. I think they’re implementing some sort of thing called ZYNC in the future but not sure if it’ll have apps. I am looking to cover this on the future though, to play video you’d need a separate device to do the video processing.
Hi nick my glb premiem line 2022 dosent play any videos is that normal cos my friend plays videos on cla
Hey munir, sadly not all Mercedes can playback video. As it’s not a “spec” option, you kind of just have to try it. Most commonly, cars that have Augmented Reality as an option from factory have faster processors and better graphics cards to actually playback video.
Where can I find option KZhead on mbux screen ? I have EQS !
In the browser 👀 Not an actual app, just navigate to the website Make sure your car is connected via hotspot or wifi (I did it via wifi)
Hey nick quick question have you got ntg7 in your Mercedes Benz car it’s very very cool screen to watch In your inside your car It even has model car of the same size car on the screen how cool is that
I know! It’s so clever! No sadly not in my own car, I wish! Maybe in the future!
Nick have you bought a Mercedes Benz with amazing screens on it inside your car
No sadly not at the moment Trying to buy a house! Then I’ll get a car again after that 👀
Could you please tell us the reason Mercedes doesn't want us to activate the dashcam in the USA? Dealerships act like they don't know it's even there. They are hiding behind legal issues, but everybody has after market.
Hey Tafriqt, really sorry I wouldn’t know but I know “In-Car Recording” varies massively round the world. The UK only got this very recently but has been available in selected countries in Europe for a while. Hopefully laws and things catch up, same with Intelligent Light systems in America, this has just recently changed too.
@@npoleary In car recording is allowed in the USA. Thanks for all you do.
I ordered the dashcam when I special ordered the car with augmented reality video. It’s only a 720 resolution camera tho... wished MB had used a 1080 resolution camera instead...
@@davidlim8405 Can you do In-Car recording with the dashcam? Are you in the US? I have the AR package. I took apart the dashcam, and you could easily upgrade it.
@@zattut I am in the US. The dashcam only records outward, front facing. No inward, cabin facing camera. Who supplies a higher resolution camera replacement for this?
Picked up thr new c class last week. They gutted the gauge cluster customization. Huge miss. Was in a 2022 glb as a loaner, it had turn by turn in the gauge pulled from android auto. The "new" mbux doesn't do that or even 30% of what thr former mbux could do with gauges.
Yes it is slightly different, you can’t customise each dial like the previous one but there are 4-5 presets to choose 🤓
Can't watch any video on my C class, gives me an error, someone know why?
Sadly not all cars can playback video Is it a new C-Class? (one with the portrait screen)
@@npoleary Yes it is, have 2 days, fresh new 0km. I can browse to youtube but to play videos show me an error :(
Hmmm Mercedes don’t publish that some cars can play video as always it might vary round the world so the best thing to do is probably just get in touch with them and see if they can let you know 🤓
Yeah I will do it :) Thank you man! I love your videos! Good Job!@@npoleary
Eqs has a hyperscreen
You can get one 🤓 Not a standard option though in the UK
@@npoleary ok thanks
Nice to see Mercedes finally getting with the times. A £17k Dacia Jogger comes with wireless Android auto and Apple car play as standard.
The new new ?? My cla is coming in oktober you meaann (a)
Tesla's infotainment system is still a little better than Mbux.
Looks awful! Like someone stuck an odd iPad on the car. Much prefer the MBUX that runs across the front and looks integral to the car. The iPad version looks as though they forgot to include the MUBX system during the design process. Horrible.
I tried KZhead on the web browser but it doesn't work
You have to have a valid internet subscription in the car to do it, and sadly I’ve heard it’s not available everywhere. The main point of internet in the car is to provide Wi-Fi to passengers but there is also a browser too. But if it’s just you in the car, there really won’t be advantage to paying monthly for your phone and the car.
