Wow! Congrats Nick! Keep doing what you're doing. Just want to tell you that I love your content :)

You are as well my friend, congratulations ❤❤

Congratulations on 100k subscribers Nick👏👏👏well deserved! I enjoy driving my merc thanks to you for all the tips and tricks I learnt from your channel! Keep them coming😉

Well done Nick…..every time I press the foot brake on my Mercedes eClass to apply the break…I think of you!!!….I’ve had lots of Mercedes before and the sales people / dealership had never pointed that out to me. I could give you many other examples of how you’ve made my car ownership a better experience from watching your EXCELLENT videos. Congratulations on 100,000 - very well deserved - Best Wishes - Peter.

congratulations Nick, well deserved 100K, it's only going to get bigger and better with more and more content x

Congrats on 100,000 subscribers,Nick. Just waiting for my first V8 to arrive, so I hope the engines are good. I take delivery of a new SL 55 in a few weeks time.

The thing about build quality is thought that if you compare a current E class which is still a nice car to the quality on a 90s E class, the 90s E class will just be way better in terms of build quality

Thank YOU Nick!! You doing a great job, thank you for your time and effort! Wish you to reach many milestones!

Congratulations Nick!! Thanks for producing such high quality and informative content every time. It's helping so many people around the world get the most out of their vehicles 😊

Huge congratulations 🎊. Totally deserved. So happy for your success

I'm actually surprised, I thought you had much more subs and you deserve much more.

Congratulations thanks for your fantastic videos! They have really helped me learn about my GLC and will always drive a Merecedes now.

Hearty congrats Nick !! I find your videos very helpful, and apparently so do at least 100,000 other people...well done! Request: Cound you please make a video on the most recent S580 (2024?), especially as it relates to "What's New" compared to the previous model year, and also what the new features will most likely likely be for the next model year (2025?).

Congrats on 100K Nick. Looking forward to your future videos. Keep up the great content!

Congratulations on 100k, Nick. Here’s to the next 100k cheers! One question, how do I know if I have ntg 6 or 7?!

Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subcribers. I'm not actually surprised as your videos are the best way of sorting out MBUX etc. I'm sorry I didn't get this question on your system in time for this presentation, but I'd be very grateful for your advice. In previous cars with earlier versions of the Satnav system I could save my present location, e.g. if out in the country miles from anywhere which was very useful for birdwatching sites etc. However I can't find out how to do this in my new car which is around 4 months old and has the latest version of MBUX. Many thanks. Yours sincerely, Gordon Wilcock

Well deserved Nick. You have given us some really good advice and videos. Big appreciation. Keep it going

Congrats for the 100k, keep up your awesome job, love from Canada

you have become my mercedes manual,my go to channel for info. thanks Nick and congrats on a 100k

Congrats and appreciate your videos and the continued knowledge you share!

Well done Nick. Keep up the good work. Poole's very own automotive celeb!

Congrats Nick. I have been following your channel long time. Brilliant content

Why yes, yes I can believe it . Your content is top notch. Thank you for doing what you do.

A big congratulations Nick . Keep up the good work.

Congratulations Nick - well deserved.

I’ve owned Mercedes vehicles ( mostly E series) since 1995 and can definitively tell you that the product quality has improved over the years. There was a time that electronics failed over and over, even fuel gauges were would fail and be inaccurate most of the time. You put up with this stuff because it was what you did. Finally, around 2010 Mercedes became less problematic. What really bothered me was my second car was usually a Honda CRV……which never had mechanical/electrical issues and frequently had bells and whistles than the MB!

Congratulations for 100K achievement 🎉

Congratulations Nick - very well deserved 👏👍

Congrats Nick, well deserved success. 👏

Congrats on 100k subs!

Way to go Nick! Good for you. Congrats!

Congrats Nick on you getting to 100k subscribers 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 No doubt like myself the other 99,999 value the great informative vids you upload, especially on the tech side of things. Whenever I’ve been into a dealership & asked for the information you present the salesman just looks at me like it’s some kinda got ya quiz. Then when I explain that I really want to know before handing over around to $100kAUD for a new Merc they say I’ll get back to you which of course they never do. So thanks for all the info & congrats again🎉🎉

I would agree, my S213 has so many issues compared to my S212 especially the engine. But there is more tech in the 213 I guess. The engine problems are caused by the emissions they need to comply with though I guess as this system too is more complex than my 212.

You deserve it Nick. Quality act.

Congratulations! When are you making a tutorial about MBUX compatibility with Smarthome type applications?

Congrats Nick now own a 4 month old Metalic White EQA 300 4Matic, your videos have been a godsend

Loved the video, wish I had seen earlier to submit a question, but after watching almost all your video's, you have answered so many things for me, not sure what I would ask. BTW, the Insulated Acoustic Glass is something that we have in the states. Its only 150-350 option depending on which car you get. Adrian has it on his 23 GLE AMG 53, however sadly my car's don' t have it. I guess it would be silly on my Cabriolet..

My former boss started buying diesel Mercedes in the seventies, a new one every few years, usually when they introduced a new model. This worked fine until 2002, when he and his son bought a new W211 E320CDi each, both fully loaded with all the gadgets. One of them had so many problems that Mercedes took it back after 6 months and replaced it with a new one. Both had many electronics faults, leading to replacements of several major components under warranty. Undeterred by this, when the CLS came out 3 years later, they ordered 2 of these, again fully loaded, which they arranged to collect from the factory. Before they even left Germany, one of them had faults with the auto transmission, which ended up being replaced after they got back to England. Both had a number of electronic faults, although the one with the transmission fault was the worse. Eventually he gave up with that one and has never had another Mercedes. The father kept the other one and has still got it 19 years later. One of the E-class was sold to another family member and kept for another 12 years, but that had 4 ECUs, 3 instrument clusters, 2 ABS modules, among numerous other electronic failures, over that time. I was the mechanic at the family car hire business, so I saw all of this first hand. The mechanical engineering on these cars was still superb, but it seemed to me that they had introduced all these complex electronics, in the race to offer more features than their competitors, before they had sorted out reliability.

Congrats on 100k! The other day I was at my Mercedes Benz dealership and told the service advisor about you. Just curious, how were you able to get MB to allow you to drive their cars to do videos? Do you have family / friends that work there?

Mercedes-Benz couldn't teach me any thing on my new GLE450 but I learned from you, very clever. Thank You I even passed your Link to MB sales guy and he liked as well. Just one question: I noticed the lane control doesn't see yellow lines by the side of the curbs and reacts when the left wheels are on the line, I live in Canada though.

Thank you for your amazing work, Nick! Ever since I bought my Mercedes, your channel is the best place to learn stuff about my car. If I can use this "ask me anything" offer, I do have one question- on MBUX from 2021, if my left screen is in navi mode , I saw somewhere that I can show music controls on the bottom of it, for a quick change of song. But I can't find it anywhere now. Can you pls advise me on that?

Hi Nick have watched most of your videos I am a first time Merc owner I bought amg45s new having had it a year what a great car it replaced my 911 drives and handles as well if not better I am know in my seventies and still enjoy cars thanks for all the information you pass on I know you would like 45s it’s worth the money regards Toj

Congrats brother! Best of luck in your life. Off-topic: I wish your driving wheels were on left side. 😅 I guess nobody every pointed out that one. :)

Congratulations Nick. Have enjoyed all of your very informative videos. Glad to see so many are getting value out of your channel. 200k not far away!

Congrats Nick🎉

Well done Nick. Are you doing an AMG CLE 53 coupe review and drive, cheers 👍

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.

Love your channel. It has helped me immensely learning my new car. Question….i live in cold snowy weather. At times I would like to suspend my windshield wipers upward to avoid freezing rain and snow while parked outside. I can’t get them to slide upwards past the little shelf above them. Mercedes 450GLE 2024. Thank you.

As someone looking to buy into the mercedes family, your videos are incredibly helpful. Also the video production is top notch. The pinch to full screen is rarely done right, but your attention to detail is excellent. Keep up the good work!

Congrats Nick 👍

Its my understanding that in Merccedes cars (e.g. the S Class) with the ability to set up a driver-specific profile (either in the vehicle or with the app), you can include in that profile your preferred default driving mode, e.g. eco or sport, etc. If that's true, it would be a way of setting the default driving mode to something other than the Mercedes default of Comfort.

Congratulations

Congratulations Nick, just quick question I have a facelift 2023 CLA A180. I noticed the rear view camera constantly opening at slow speed. Is this normal?

Hi mate. Firstly, congrats on your subscriber base! My questions are on GLB 2024 model, will you be doing a comprehensive review? Not sure if launched in UK yet? My deal breakers on old vehicle were no 360 degree parking camera, no wireless Apple CarPlay. Are these present on the new face lifted model? Also, what options are there? Mirror dash cam, digital rear view mirror? Also, I’ve never had pleasure of owning Mercedes before, always had Japanese (Honda, Nissan etc). What is Mercedes me app? Can I remote start the vehicle from, my iPhone? Can I move the car (I.e. back the car out of the garage) remotely using the app, or not possible? Really hope you get a chance to have a hands on with this vehicle. Thanks in advance.

Congrats Nick on 100k. Been looking through you vids for something re the latest Merc key; in particular keyless go security. Took delivery of a new C class just last week and noticed the keyless go key seemed quite a bit different to the E class I had traded in. I could switch that key off with a double click but not the new one it would seem. I also read that a statement from MB claimed that the double press on the previous style key also shut down/isolated electrical access ports, thereby deneying unorthorsied access to the electrical system. Don't know how true he latter is but a walk through of the latest key security etc would really be appreciated as I have so far been unable to find anything on this.

Hi Nick, congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers! I have just got a 72 plate 180, keyless go, but can’t get the key to disable, we have tried everything, is this because there is a motion sensor in the key fob, hence it’s not needed? Thank you for all your fantastic content!

I have an E400 - my 7th E Class and definitely the worst quality since my awful W210 - boost problems, gearbox problems, navigation system problems. Your videos are great but it also points to another problem: the user interfaces, that used to be best-in-class, are now poor in terms of usability.

Hi Nick, just changed my 2021 A class to 2024 cla. The obvious changes will be the mild hybrid system. But after a week of driving, i noticed that "eco" mode feels more jerky compared to non mild hybrid. As when im coasting the car feels like it will pull back in a small instant and it "charges up the power bar for the 48v batt". Other than that it feels decent to drive in comfort mode. And i do always turn off the auto start/stop system whenever i drive. Im worried it will cause harm to the engine. But in this current era, i do think im overthinking that too much as obviously technology improves heeps over the years. Can u also share your thoughts on should we be using the start/stop system or just deactive that. Cheers

Next year my E200 will be out of Warranty, do you recommend getting and extended one?

Congrats Nick. Yes you can upgrade to android 12" toutch screen. About 800€

Is it that Mercedes is declining or is it that other brands are elevating which is deceasing the gap between the quality and features that Mercedes offers? A Ford Fusion that I rented on vaca has about as many options as my C300

Hi nick, many congragulations on reaching 100k. Is it worth buying eqc at the moment as think its being discontinud as in case if there is any problems with electric engine i am afraid i won't have any parts available. Thanks

Talking about build quality, I am now running my 2nd V class (Would have prefered a VW T6.1 but the boss wanted the Mercedes badge). The 1st V class in the 2 years I drove it had to have the electric handbrake replaced twice, the upstream NOX sensor replaced twice, Number 1 glow plug changed, The upstream Turbo temperature sensor replaced, 2 Bottom ball joints (Which Mercedes had passed on the MOT 2 Months before) and The rear AC pipes Replaced. Also Mercedes rip off their customers by charging for things most other garages would include in the labour costs (and i'm talking about costs on top of the labour costs) like £46 + VAT to remove and replace a wheel (Charged 4 times when the handbrake needed fixing twice) And £110 + VAT to remove and refit a small plastic panel under the engine (Charged when they replaced the bottom ball joints). Pretty poor show Mercedes!

Hi Nick, love your input to us Mercedes owners, I have a question for you, I have recently picked up a 2023 Mercedes C300e estate and I am struggling to set up the easy access option. I have switched on the relevant switches in the vehicle comfort settings but the driver seat actually moves forward on opening the drivers door and the steering wheel doesn’t seem to move at all. Can you help ?

Congratulations Nick on 100k! Very well deserved. Keep up the great work

Can you do a topic on the new facelift for GLB 2024 compare to previous

Congrats you deserve it, I have a question please, i bought Mercedes Gle 450 2024 , I found something strange that the Rear camera opens always at speed below 25km/h and the sound is very annoying , is there any solution or explanation for this ?

Congratulations Nick, you deserve it …

I have a 2000 w210 with 98000miles still in good condition

Hi Nick, i'm not sure how it was added but how do I remove my calendar entries /appointments in the mercrdes me app on android ? Thx in advance

Hi! My question is whether I can have the car automatically lower when I put it in park & turn engine off to get out of the car (vehicle is a 2024 AMG53 GLE Coupe). Also, the console “height” switch behind palm rest won’t do this. I have to bring up the Car Functions menu and hit the onscreen “Lower” button. Thx!

Hi Nick, first of all, congratulations for 100K and the time you spend to share your knowledge. I'm owner of GLB from 2023. If I may ask, I quite often receive rain notification even though I'm parked under the ground. Am I the only one facing that issue? Second small issue is when I'm driving, the GPS is half second late which can be annoying when 2 exits are close to each other on the road. Is there any way to solve it? Many thanks

Could the decline in merc quality be due to their units that they manufacture on the USA? Quality control has suffered on US builds.

Firstly, congratulations on 100k subscribers soon to be 1M. 😊 Yes Mercedes was a dream car for me and after getting it I was disappointed about the build quality. My A class has bad suspension. Rattling dashboard, speakers makes buzzing sound at 50% volume, 35mpg and list goes on. I think A class should not be called a Mercedes. My friend’s Yaris is better than A class.

hello, thank you for the beautiful and clear videos. I also have a question/problem: I have a Mercedes S500 4matic 221/1071k1/ncaab500 and I cannot synchronize both fob keys. sometimes it works for a while, but afterwards he forgets, and I have to open the door again with the enclosed key blade. very annoying. And second question: can I upgrade navigation and Bluetooth myself, or does this have to be done through a dealer? thanks in advance, and good luck. Guy Noben (Belgium)

I have a 2023 GLB35 just hit 4k miles and am ready to try launch control. From what I read: you activate brake hold and slam the gas to the floor. Assuming that all the condiditons are met, it will go into launch mode and take off. Now before I try that, I would like to hear from you how it is done, thanks. I trust you.

Hi.. There is a software function that is supposed to adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel up when exiting the car. All the adjusters work fine and the steering wheel raises automatically when I open the door but the seat does not move automatically. Is there a way to activate it?

Just bought an EQA last week. We will pick it up as soon as the charger is installed - thanks for the channel, we have been doing our homework.

Thanks nick I am in Canada and the car is in Jamaica 🇯🇲

Acoustic package in US is thicker glass and thermal windows.

Did u know on media nav right side of screen when u tap north button another Button appears when pressed u can see entire route centered on screen?

Hi Nick. How do you turn the traffic messages higher from the start they come up on the newest Mbux system. Messages is so weak in my new Glc400e and I have to turn the volumen up ewery time. THX in advance. All the best from a danish fan.

Hello, Nick. Before buying my 2023 GLB 220 Premium Plus Night Edition, I researched your RU-vid videos. Such a wonderful car etc. So much so, that I bought one from the Sytner branch at Colindale, London. However, the vehicle I received was not the one that I ordered - as numerous Standard features were missing [microchip shortages/pandemic] My complaints were ignored, and I tried civil litigation - I gave up there as, in reality, it does not work - corrupt, and confusing with a never ending amount of incomprehensible documentation to complete. I gave up. My advice to you is this. [1] MD make amazing cars [2] their problem is that they have contracted 'sales' to the American multi-National Penski. In the UK, Sytner carry out the 'sales' for MB, on behalf of their parent company Penski. [3] you ought to consider: issue a 'caveat' in your videos about the 'missing' standard features when a person considers a purchase of a MD. Of Note: I informed MD in Stuttgart, Germany, and Penski, USA - I received no reply from either.

can anyone tell me if you can get the rear camera to switch off sooner? i.e. as soon as I put car in Drive?

Hi nick , my partner has an A180d with the mbux system, her phone is connected etc but quite alot of the contacts are missing , is there a way of quickly downloading the contacts?

Hi Nick, congrats on 100k!! Was late to the party with questions but…..just bought a 73 plate A200. The annoying camera sound at the back, constantly dropping and raising when slowing down etc. Why does it do this, and any way this can be turned off?

Can you please help me to understand how todays android auto is payable option (£299) on EQC400 AMG.? Even a Corsa has this as a standard feature

Does Mercedes recommend tire rotation for 4matic cars?

What was your first car?

Congratulations on the 100K I have a question My 12 month old C220D Estate has an issue with the battery We went away for 10 days in the summer and came back to a flat battery, rang Mercedes and the RAC came out and charged the battery, did a diagnosis and everything was fine, no software updates available We just went away for a week and started getting messages from the app says the battery was low and functions on the alarm system would be switched off, got home in time and drove the car for an hour, no issues Problem is we will probably go away for 2 weeks in the summer, for sure the battery will die 😢 Any suggestions? The only other issue has been the software changed to Arabian on its own, that was a little bit tricky to sort

my 2014 cla250 had better quality than my 2021 glc300 4matic mind you I sold my cla with 70k miles on it while my glc currently has 30k miles on it yet i'm experiencing like a jerking sensation between 2nd and 3rd gear and my parking sensor just randomly triggers

HI nick. can you say why my dashboard lights go low in the dark

Congratulations Nick, you absolutely earned it. That’s a lot of people who love your content. Here is my question. I pay the “excellence” package on Mercedes Me which includes a weather map and the weather. How do I access these on my NTG6.0 MBUX?

How much to replace 2020 A class front fender ?
