These tips are probably the most useful ones yet! How do you find these things out! 😂 could easily spend a day playing with the car and driving nowhere, love the voice assistant tip to access siri! Great video Nick, have a great weekend 👍
Thanks Kevin! Haha
It does take time, as I film throughout the year, if I think of a good idea, I’ll jot it down.
And when it comes to making the video, I filter through loads of them down to 10 which I think will apply to as many models as possible.
Glad you like them! Thank you! 🤓
So once you press the 2 buttons to open one door how do you undo it ?
Same procedure to put it back the same way as before 🤓
@@npoleary thanks mate I liked the send to the Mercedes’ me I never new about that. I had my key stolen well that was not cheap 🤣

Thanks Nick, I think the double push of the resume to make the car match the current speed limit is gonna be a license saver! Easily some of the best help videos on the net!
Everytime I see one of these ‘tip’ videos, there is new stuff. I haven’t even received my Benz yet but because of these tips, I do know more then the salesmen will ever have time to tell me on pick up.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks 187roel! Glad you enjoy the Tips & Tricks videos! 👍🏼
Nick O'Leary does a really nice job explaining the tips and tricks in an easy way to understand, and he doesn't go too fast. Thanks Nick.
Thank you! 🤓🤓
We have had BMW’s from Peter Vardy for 18yrs. There was always so much time spent with us going over new features. Since our 1st Merc from Stratstone, it was paperwork, the basics & next customer. My mindset was to go back to BMW, but I practically have a new Mercedes with all the features I find out from your films. Excellent work, hope you are rewarded well for it, you may just have saved a customer!
Ah awesome! Thanks D A Davidson! Glad you enjoy the videos! Yes I have heard handovers have been tricky over the past year and a bit (if you purchased recently) due to COVID etc.
But…I’m glad the videos helped! Which model did you go for? 🤓
Mine handover was exactly the same. I came from many many years of BMW and was left very disappointed with the handover experience. Felt very under valued as a customer. Nicks vids have been a good send. Next car will be a beemer again though.
Thanks for the “Rest” tip Nick.
It’s a standard fitment on my 2018 GLA45, but I’ve never really bothered with it as the instruction manual wasn’t particularly clear on what it did. Now I know I’ll be using that every winter shopping trip.
And if the UK summer carries on in similar fashion I’ll probably be using it in August too…..
Haha 😂 typical UK Weather!
Thanks Phil, glad you liked the video!
These videos are great! I got my new M-B during the pandemic so the sales team weren't allowed to show me how the car worked. The handbook - over 500 pages in tiny print - gives me a headache, so it's brilliant to see the lovely Nick actually showing me all these things that I didn't know my car could do! I now have the courage to try letting it park itself - fabulous!
Thanks Fiona for your kind comments! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! 🤓

Thank you for your informative videos, Nick! I genuinely got excited to know about the sending routing info from my iPhone to the car’s navigation. There are moments where the car can’t find a POI, so I end up just using my phone to guide me, but I like using my 2021 GLE’s nav much more. The tip about the car door unlocking during a battery drain scenario and driver side only were also enlightening. Looking forward to more of your tips and tricks and car reviews!
Thank you Andrew! Glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🏼

I have been looking around for information on MB, now that I am considering the purchase of one. I just subscribed to this channel. I can't believe how well explained and professionaly presented this video is. And useful :) Thanks.
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Glad you’re loving the content! 🤓
Very helpful tips. People can simply call on the "Hey Mercedes" function to demist the windscreen. After a gym session in the evening, when it is sometimes cool, my heavy breathing fogs up the windscreen and I simply instruct "Hey Mercedes" to demist.
How nifty! Intuitive? But very convenient
As always, very helpful! It is amazing that both the salesperson and service reps rarely know about these things...lol. Cheers
Thanks Danny’s Email glad you like the videos! 🤓
Thank you Nick!!
Very useful, these are the types of functions that typically take two years ownership to find.
Thank you! 🤓👍🏼
Thanks Nick, much appreciated, because I could get through 'War and Peace' by Tolstoy, quicker than I could the manual!
Thanks Ned! 🤓
Thanks Nick. I really like your videos. We have 2 Mercedes MBUX cars in the family and these videos really make our life easier. Greetings from Finland.
Thanks Timo! Glad you love the videos! 🤓
After watching you, I said there is no way in the world that I am not following this channel, I subbed immediately because this is one of my most useful CZcams channels ever.
Thank you! Glad you’re loving the content! 🤓👍🏼🤓
I said the exact thing ..
These tips are great and I love how concisely and clearly you explain everything. Thank you.
Thanks Leo! 🙏
Your channel has been so beneficial for my sister who just bought an E Class coupe. Really helpful.
Awh thank you! 🙏 glad you enjoy the videos!
I would like to tell you that you are very good at what you do and keep it up you have said incredible things that we didn't know about Mercedes❤❤❤
Another well put together, delivered video. Direct, easy to understand, no extra yapping. Thanks
Thank you! 👊🏼🙏
I got a c-class 2019 recently and I learn something new about my car on every of your videos
Thank you! 👍🏼👍🏼🙏
Going to go sit in my car and try out some of theses tips and tricks! Thank you Nick!!
Aha awesome! No worries!
I'm learning a lot with you, Nick! Thank you very much. You could be a serious reason to buy a Mercedes Benz! Great support!
Happy to help F N! Glad you like the videos!
I have been binge watching your videos. Thank you so much! You have saved me hours of reading that very boring looking manual.
Oh awesome! Thank you! Glad you enjoy them! 👍🏼🙏
Curiosity, is there a paper manual? My dealer told me I would just need to go online.....
They come with cars in the UK (mine did anyway)
Don’t think it’s changed within a year!
I didn’t know the Siri tip, that was great thanks Nick. My GLA 250 2020 model has the auto boot open with the foot feature. It’s very handy.
Thanks Snuggles03! 🤓
Glad you enjoyed them!
How can I thank you … I’m really bad in technology like this so I’m confusing with my car about all of this … so I will keep learning… big thanks ❤
Nick, thank you! I have MB C-class but I'm here just to hear your English pronunciation. It's fantastic.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
There’s a new one on Friday at 4pm 👀
I'll be checking out all these tips and tricks videos as I have now received my a class a200 amg line premium! Loving it right now and so much to do.

Hi Nick, they’re all works on my car, and I’m loving it. I’m sure everyone does who’s own a Mercedes. Thanks 🙏 to you for always helping people with something new. Big fan
Thank you Jag! Ah I’m glad they all work for yours! It was a carefully selected list to try and cover as many models as possible!
Thank you 🙏
I don't. I would trade all those gadgets for a better suspension.
Hi, May i ask which app is it? Mercedes Me Media?
Was it the app to unlock / lock and see the car’s location?
It’s just called Mercedes me 🤓
That's is so helpful, thanks Nick.
Thanks Ian! Glad you enjoyed it! 👊🏼

Great tips
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them! 🤓
Some very helpful tips, especially the driver door unlcock only function. Thanks!
P.S I am assuming you do the exact same to go back to the original setting of opening all doors?
Thanks Smiley786!
Glad you liked the tips & tricks!
Absolutely right, just do it again to revert back to normal 🤓
Nce one Nick, thanks. I love your last tip, hands free tailgate opening..... when I bought mine, the lady at Mercedes could not open it, she had not got the knack..... I have, after a little humiliation trying to show off to the kids!
Haha awesome!
It’s all down to the kick gesture! I’ve seen people do dances before at the back and almost fall over.
Just a simple kick in and out fairly quickly will do it 🤓
Great Nick thanks
No problem! Thanks Joe! 🤓
Very informative video and greatly needed.
Thank you! 🤓
Cheers Nick, another great video, but could you do some that review older Mercs? Mine is a 2018 350 GLE Night Addition with Command and would love some tuition on the finer points of this car. Cheers and thanks again, Graham
Hey Graham, thank you! I have covered a few videos on COMAND one of which is focused on the Sat Nav I’d you saw that? 🤓
czcams.com/video/fXLUR5Mi8pU/video.html
@@npoleary Many thanks Nick. and will certainly be watching for arrival on Wednesday 👍
Hi Nick, not spoken for a while another great informative video as always …quick question have you covered gesture control in cars with MBUX in any detail? If not could you consider this for a future vid. Thanks
Hey Pete, sadly no…I’d love to cover that but it’s only found on literally a couple of models out there.
It will feature in the future on my channel! Just when I can get my hands on a car that has it.
Great videos Nick. So useful to new Mercedes drivers. I'm 3 weeks into my new Mercedes EQA 250 AMG Line and I'm still discovering things. I was wondering if there is any way to switch off the creep / crawl mode? I could have sworn that the same model I test drove didn't creep, but I could be wrong. I've just come from an EV that didn't creep and I think I prefer that style of driving. I know that creep / crawl mode can be disabled in a Tesla model 3, so I'm wondering if that option is available on the EQA?
Hey Robert,
Thank you and glad you like the videos!
Unfortunately no it can't be switched off, I would imagine Mercedes have gone down this route to make sure electric feels familiar to people who have never driven one before.
Very useful, these are the types of functions which typically take two years ownership to find.
Ah awesome thank you 😊
Keep em coming 😃👍🏼
Will do! 🤓
Thanks Nick for your suggestions! Have you some tips about GLCe about how to use the dynamic selection especially with electric use ?
Hey Gianluca Dallatana,
Aha I've covered that one before on the different drive modes on a Plug-in Hybrid: czcams.com/video/QzSYEP2eOSI/video.html
I've also made a video on maximising your range on electric: czcams.com/video/J2GM83dtbes/video.html
Hope that helps!
Very nice! Thanks a lot :)
No problem! 🤓
I have a new 2024 GLS 450 and the keyless open tailgate kick function worked when first purchased 4 wks ago but not now, is there a simple fix? Hard to find on website only infers hitting lock & unlock button same time to reset?
Thanks for great videos, hope they are rewarding you well, very informative and educational.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, hmmm strange I haven’t seen a GLS for quite a while so not sure if it’s different. Are you doing the correct gesture? Simple kick forward and backward not left to right.
i’m gonna try these! just got an eqa
Ah awesome! How are you finding it? I would personally love an EQA! 🤓
Another great video bro ...
Thanks Joe! 🤓
Glad you liked it!
good info
Thank you Ramzi! 🤓
Thank you Nick.
No problem! 🤓
Nice tips
Thank you! 🤓🙏
Lovely video, I went downstairs happily to adjust some features of my car. One question Nick: I have a CLA coupe 2022 with Keyless-Go, but I never managed to open the trunk with the kick. Does it have it or not? what it does not have is the automatic closing trunk button. Thanks in advance :)
Thank you! Sadly it depends on the spec of the car, I think there’s only two ways of telling.
One is by actually trying it with the key at the rear of the car, the other is Mercedes staff at a dealer checking the car’s reg or chassis against the car’s spec. They’ll be looking for something called Hands Free Access 🤓
Hi Nick. Thanks for sharing and love your tips and tricks videos. I am a Mercedes owner in Australia. Got a quick question for you. Is there any way that I could move the speedometer to the right hand side on the display behind the steering wheel(main display)? I tried few times and it looks like the speedometer is locked on the left. Not sure if this was true. Thanks for your help. By the way my car is GLC 300 2021 model with MBUX system.
Ah awesome thank you! Glad you love the tips and tricks videos!
No sadly speedometer is locked to the left dial only on all models.
Good idea though if Mercedes added it in the future!
Another good video. Tip 1 👍 awesome as Me App mapping doesn’t always show the same details as iPhone map; tip 6 I’ll use this winter.
Awesome thanks Neil! 🤓
Can you please help me with the following question that I have for you, how can I put in the menu in my car A 160 of 2021 to have a Greek menu, not a menu voice, to change the menu to Greek, can you help me please
Hi Nick, first of all your videos are always a joy to watch. You have a very pleasant way about you and the information is always very useful. I want to talk about car alarms. Technology sometimes let us down and accidentally the car alarm sounds! And its always early in the morning resulting in sleepy heads peeking through curtains and one embarrassed car owner. This happened to me the other day and I started pressing buttons in the car and on the fob to make it stop, but had to wait the full cycle for it to finish. Do you know a trick on your key fob or in your car to make the sounding of the alarm stop should it go off accidentally. Thanks for our advice, Ron.
Hey Ron, thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Hmmm, how strange. A simple unlock will turn the alarm off and then I always open the door. Strange that it had gone off.
Have you spoken with your local dealership? Maybe they might be able to run some diagnostics and find out why it’s going off.
Love the new intro Nick!
Ah that was just for that video! 😅
I might do a new intro soon 👀
Thanks for reminding me Nick.
Just got another Mercedes thank you for the tips ❤️
Ooo very nice! Which one? 👀

Thanks for watching 🙏
Nick, that very helpful!
Shame the team at Dartford MB are not like you !!
Thanks Graham! 🤓
Hi Nick. Thanks for all your had work in putting these together. I always look forward to your next video. Just purchased a 2021 GLE and there is one feature that is not explained well in the available materials from MB and that is Personal Points of Interest. My system indicates that there are none available and it apparently needs a Personal POI file on a USB drive in the form of a gpx file. Can you do a video on creating Personal POIs? I've been to my dealership and contacted MB directly and have not received much useful information. Thanks!
Hey!
Thank you and glad you enjoy the videos! 🤓
I have heard of them before but honestly never tried using them as I haven’t ever needed to put a personal point of interest on the system.
Reading some information it looks like it varies from country to country and I did find a guide: www.scdb.info/en/installation-mercedes-comand-online/#4-3
Hopefully they may help!
@@npoleary Thanks Nick. I'll check out the guide and hopefully that helps. Thanks so much for your reply!
No problem 🤓
nice job Nick! I've had my SL400 for 3 years and didn't knbow that a kick could also CLOSE the trunk/boot!
Kick where?
@@toniyalewis8607 below the trunk/boot, 12:30 in video
@ Nick how do you reverse the driver unlock only door, that's if you want to revert to making all doors unlock after doing the driver door only unlock.
Same process 🤓
Hold unlock & lock for approx 6-7 secs on the key
Hi Nick, I love your videos, they are so precise and useful! I have had long term issues with my EU spec A-class 2019 (new model) sedan regarding the A/C. I have read a few forums and many people are having the same issue. It seems to be a defective roof temperature sensor that many have had changed (while in warranty). Unfortunately my warranty ran out sometime this summer. I have reported the issue to my local dealer for 2 years but they have never found any fault. Telling me there is no issue. But the online forums are confirming my theory. Basically the with the A/C on AUTO you need to keep it on low all the time, the moment you go to 16 degrees Celsius the car immediately stars blasting hot air. And I mean hot. I was wondering if you could please kindly tell me if there was any MB RECALL about this situation. Apparently it is also an issue with the C Class among others that have been delivered between 2019 andd 2020. If you find the time, I thank you in advance for your kind reply.
Hey theblondeinitially, thank you! Glad you enjoy them!
No really sorry I only review them and offer tutorials on my channel so sadly haven’t ever worked on them like a technician at Mercedes would so I don’t get to hear about recalls. I haven’t heard of any on the A-Class but I’m sure if there were Mercedes would have contacted you and let you know. That does seem quite odd though about the heating and I’m surprised they are saying there’s no fault as that doesn’t sound right at all.
Hope you get it sorted!
