Limited Data on a phone whilst driving a Mercedes... If that exists, then I'll eat my shoe. Oh and Nick... You're videos keep improving and especially the quality. You will one day become very big and able to buy any Mercedes you desire. I just feel it. keep it up!

Really appreciate the "How To" videos on using the Infotainment system, particularly the integration with streaming services. With autos becoming more like personal computers on wheels all the "How To" content is VERY useful.

Nick, once again, a sterling video. So many thanks. Truly appreciate all your hard work and dedication to your loyal fans and followers. Love it!!

Thanks. Another great video

An infotainment video for the infotainment system. 👍👏

Great video, thanks!

I find myself rarely using CarPlay because the Mercedes interface is so nice.

Great thing you explained ! Now youtube music and i will use it 😂🎉 no spotify user

hi Nick long time subscriber love your content I have almost the same car as you but the prium plus model and in black Can you explain the eco mode and on the heads up display

Thanks for the info Nick. Cant use on mine, but handy to know when i get a new Merc 👍

Hey Nick! Watched a ton of your videos, very useful information! i have an A220 sedan 2021 but there’s nothing like that you just showed in my Mercedes me app. In Infotainment section there’s only 4 options available. Does that mean that I don’t have an entertainment package? Thank you!

Great video Nick. Curious to learn: is there any difference in streaming quality when coupling via Bluetooth Tethering or WiFi? Theoretically yes, the latter should be better, but does Mercedes also utilize this?

Thanks for another informative video! Is the Vodafone data service an extra cost or is the data cost covered in the Entertainment Package subscription? Thanks!

When you get it set up it's brilliant. But it was a nightmare to get working in my CLA. The mercades me support team didn't help much, only way I got it working was cancelling it and setting it up again.

Hi Nick. Great videos you are making. Thanks. One question, I’m an ex pat living in Bulgaria. I’m using Mercedes me but most of it comes up in Bulgarian, and I cannot find how to change the language to English. Very useful here in Bulgaria the traffic light recognition system. I’ll try it out tomorrow.

Hey Nic, Another great vid! Just a question on the spec of your car. I’m looking at purchasing the new CLE in Oz later this year but the interior specs released here only seem to allow for plain Black on Black, Sienna Brown on Black, Machiatto on Black or Red on Black. However I can see your car is Black on Black but with Black Suede inserts & differentiated Red Stitching which I really like. Was this a special order to get the Suede & Red Stitching or was it just available on your particular model. I just wanted something a bit sporty with the metallic Selenite Grey exterior but don’t think I could live with the full Red interior. Cheers Steve

Could you do a review of the zync software with the hyperscreen please? I'm torn between the i7 and an eqs and as I have a family who like road trips how they are entertained is important. I'm in the UK. Thanks

Great video Nick. Struggle to get the comfort package as get error messages when trying to register. Do you have to have the Entertainment Package before registering for the comfort package??

Nick, are you also going to test “display film protector matt paperfeel” for de mercedes mbux central screen?

Terrific stuff. I am an Amazon Music subscriber and this answers my questions on this. However, I am also a fan of Alexa, our home is bristling with tech linked to this AI and for a few years I have used the Echo Auto to run music in my car, turn the heating on, lights on and even the kettle when I am driving and I am wondering if accessing the app via the MBUX will allow this functionality - when I get my new EQA some time in the next month or so?

The new E class saloon and estate info has been released, would you have any insight as to a new Cabriolet.

Nick need your help can you find out about emotion start on the newest cla45s update! It just makes sound in car! Not like the previous models where exhaust valves open! Thank you

On the Sirius XM page of MBUX, there are three choices for the “Favorites” selection when a particular song is played. Empty Star means you can save that station as a favorite. Filled in Star means it’s already saved. But what does the third symbol mean? It’s a Star with a counterclockwise clock emblem on top of it. I don’t see it doing anything obvious but it MIGHT have something to do with starting at the beginning of the song displayed for that channel.

Hi nick ,how are u doing .please I need a help I want to purchase a Mercedes benz c300 e ...and I'm not sure if it came with Burmester 3D surround sound system.

Hi Nick, picked up my new GLA 250 hybrid today, did take some getting used to the new steering wheel. Now I also have a dashcam in it but no idea how this works. Also in my other GLA I had given names to phone numbers, then said hey Mercedes call my daughter. I know you made a video of it but I can't find it again. Can you help me, thank you very much and best regards Rita from the Netherlands.

I have the x254 GLC and in Australia there is no entertainment package and all Mercedes cars cannot use in car data. What we have is music streaming but you have to use your phone hotspots and also ensuring Mercedes me connect is online(yeah if the built in SIM disconnected from network(quite often) you are unable to play any songs and the online music service will say unavailable)

Does your. Car have an auto brake hold function, or do you sit with your foot on the brake pedal or use the hand brake,. When stopped at traffic lights.

Is this compatible with iHeart or TuneIn Radio? I hope that it'll be included with my new S580...

Great video Nick, answered some of my queries regarding the Online Services in my car! I have recently just taken delivery of my A35 Premium Plus from a fellow Sandown dealership, I had a query regarding the Emotion Start, is this present on the facelift model in 2024 as my car currently does not do this. Just to note it is currently still in its break in period.

Another useful video Nick. My A250 was delivered (from the factory) in June 2020, and whilst it shows Amazon Music and Tidal, it doesn’t show Spotify, so I wonder if my car is lacking some kind of update? I might try contacting Mercedes Me support, but I had no idea that it should be there.

How is the sound quality with the online music service? Is it better than Carplay? I've found in some cars that using Apple Carplay compresses the music quite a bit.

Is it possible to have MB with a multi-cd player and/or a multi-mini-disc player ?

Just bought a new C Class and signed up for the Vodafone service. Apparently Vodafone can’t charge you for any data, as the billing side of things is broken!!!

Hi nick, how did you link your Apple Music to your music streaming, I see Spotify, tidal and Amazon but not Apple Music please

I believe Dolby Atmos is only available in the MB Apple Music native app, and not on Apple Car Play. Am I wrong?

Hi Nick, I'm sure you've already covered it, but I can't seem to find it anymore. I have mbux 7 and I want to save some phone contacts in my favorites, can you point me in the right direction? Kind regards, Jik

Had a 2019 CLS with Command and I connected an iPod Touch permanently in the arm rest. Changed last year to a 2023 CLS 53 with MBUX NTG 6 and can no longer control my old iPod. Does anyone know if I buy one of the last versions of the iPod Touch will it work and be controllable with my new CLS?

0.27 How beautifull looking is that Mercs interior?

Thank you for the video. I was able to link my Spotify account in Mercedes me, but surprisingly my car shows only Tidal 🤷‍♂️

Review 2024 A class interior light please

For me, choosing the Entertainment Package over CarPlay was a no-brainer: 1) As I lease the car, paying for the CarPlay one-time purchase addon was not justified, it is actually more expensive than what I'll pay for the Entertainment Package subscription for the duration of the lease. 2) Built-in navigation works *wonders* for the ECO driving "route-based" option on my plug-in hybrid since the car knows a turn is coming up and adjusts it's regenerative braking etc. 3) The audio quality (on streaming services) is way better with the Entertainment Package because audio data is directly streamed on the car audio system, avoiding the re-encoding and bluetooth codec transmission that would happen if Bluetooth was used for audio streaming via a smartphone. I haven't tested CarPlay / Android Auto in these regards The only downside is that I can't find a way to "restart" the mobile network connection without turning off and on the whole car. Sometimes it gets stuck in EDGE mode although there is adequate coverage and that causes the Online music tab to become "Unavailable" because there is "No connection"

Can i have the same functions if i just use my mobile phone data as a hotspot?

i have a 2022 E Class and i dont get this package or will it come out later this year maybe?😔

Hi nick, I have a question,I have a picture of a man with off above him and what looks like a WiFi symbol on my a class and can’t find the meaning, have you got this symbol on your a class? Cheers 👍👍

@npoleary The Entertainment Package was add to the car prior to purchase (Ex Demo) but cant find if there is any data charges anywhere or if it's included till expiry of the package

The thing with streaming music is to get HiRes quality, Tidal MQA ex. Can it handle that?

Hi Nick, I subscribed to this package but the internet radio / other aspects of the package do not work with my 2019 A220 AMG Premium. Likewise I’m not able to purchase the dashcam option despite the car having AR sat nav tech. Have booked it in hopefully to have a software update - would this solve the problems?

I have activated this. I live in the UK. What I found was that I already had vodafone internet in the car which was free as I bought my Mercedes first hand and it was a brand new car, Once I registered for this comfort pack I WAS deregistered by vodafone from my original vodafone free data pack and registered for this comfort pack which is a paid service. I spoke to the guys at Vodafone and they said that there are two accounts one is the comfort which you have described and the other is legacy account which I had and which was giving me free data. When I registered for the comfort pack they delinked my car from the legacy free account. So I am thinking of going back to my legacy account. Plus I cant see apple music in my linked music account on the app. Why is that?

This is good. But as I have just spent the most I ever have on my new a class. Shouldn’t it be standard if the car can do it?

Hi Nick how do you add to linked accounts … I havnt got Spotify or Apple Music in the list ?

MBUX stops bluetooth playback if you get a proximity/collision warning. Radio would resume but not bluetooth after warning. Thats quite annoying. So if the integrated streaming can automatically resume, then it would be a good reason.

You can add mini games also??

I have a Eqa 250 with premium sound system Burmeister and the sound is like I have a hat in the head, poor quality and low level of sound. Before I use to listen in a 3008 with a Focal 10.2 sound system and it sounds wonderfull, digital sound processor, power, everything you want from a car sound system. If i buy this package the sound quality will increase, also the volume, or it will be the same Burmeister shit with more aplications? Please help me in this matter! It is possible tu do something or I have to change the car with e-3008 with Focal Electra sound?

Seen this a while back on the app. Thing is, it's subscription based. AA/AC are free. And Mercedes doesn't make it cheap either - it adds up to £700 a year for full package! And probably even more for more expensive models. It's ridiculously expensive, specially when we purchase these cars brand new with the full package, some services expire just 1year after (eg car office)... All other services will expire before I even finish the lease contract. Honestly really annoyed they are pushing this subscription model even more. I'm genuinely considering dropping mercedes and getting something else next for this reason alone.

Hi

I can't get mine to work says activated but not turned on I have a b200

First.

Sorry, that's £89 for something you get free with carplay?

It is a shame that Mercedes does not provide Apple Music and Spotify services for NTG 6 systems. It is same for any country in the world 😡

what a freaking waste ! on the new E class, would be nice if you able to use the selfie camera as a security alarm to remote view inside the car.

I activated mine the other day, so far not that impressed and certainly wouldn’t pay for it. It cuts out, asks you to connect to your phones data package, then starts working again. Personally just a pain. Helpful video regardless though 👍

Or just use apple car play like a normal person 😂😂😂😂

Bummer

I recommend a tow truck. Terrible cars broken off the production line.

Stop making videos on terrible cars that arrive at dealerships broken. We don’t do PDI’s. We try and discover how they are not working.

Thanks for another informative video! Is the Vodafone data service an extra cost or is the data cost covered in the Entertainment Package subscription? Thanks!
