One thing I forgot to mention is Car-to-X Communication. This forms part of the Live Traffic subscription and can communicate with other compatible cars to warn of danger. The car will use on boards sensors so in one example, if you hit some black ice, the car can detect this and pop a pin on the map to warn others of danger. You can submit a danger report yourself on the Map screen, press the wheel in and nudge to the right to the "Send" button. From here you can submit a warning which instantly appears on other user's maps on their navigation system.

Thank you Andrew! 🤓 Honestly I haven’t done anything on voice control because when you press the voice control button on COMAND, it comes up with the phrases on screen that you can say. So for example if you press it on NAVI, it’ll show all of the acceptable Navi commands. Press it on Radio and it’ll show you all of the radio commands on screen. Just say it word for word so an example of the Navi one: Press the button, say “Last Destinations” then say a number example “2”, and follow the commands from the system after this. Hope that helps!

I have a 80 foot gravel drive going uphill and I couldn't get up it with my 2020 C class coupe RDW. Is it me being useless or the rwd just being useless in snow because the wheels are so wide????? .

Hey! I can try but sadly it primarily depends what you’ve got on the car. If you expect snow / cold weather quite a bit, winter tyres are definitely going to help! If you don’t want to swap them over, just go extremely careful with any rear wheel drive car in the cold as they can be difficult to put the power down. Trying using the drive mode Eco and make everything as delicate as you can allowing the car’s engine to brake when slowing down as opposed to brakes.

Hi Robert, Easy Entry & Exit won’t operate in all scenarios, for example, if your seat is quite far back, then it won’t need to do the easy / entry and exit. If your seat is positioned further forward then it’ll of course do it then. Most models of Mercedes won’t do this for me as I’m 6ft 2” so the seat is already quite far back.

Thanks a lot Nick for this detailed video. I have a quick question about profile sync. On my W213 (2017) e class I don't have any option to automatically sync the user profile or import/export it. Do you know why this is? Means I can't the personalisation function on Mercedes Me. Thanks in advance

Hey Ferdinand ah the personalisation thing only came out on models equipped with MBUX. So for the E-Class it came out in approx 2020 with it’s facelift. It has a completely different multimedia system which takes advantage of it Hope that answers your question 🤓

Sadly some car models from various manufacturers can’t do it Just depends if the car either accepts it to send via Bluetooth or in some cars I’ve reviewed it matches with the gracenote database but cars need internet for that. It’s an automatic process so sadly you can’t toggle any settings for it. If it doesn’t go over Bluetooth because of the above, try plugging it in and select USB instead 🤓
