The CLA45s gives you that great AMG sound from the AMG performance and also the luxury of a Mercedes Benz

Brilliant! Just works, works, works! Asked my merc dealer if they offered this type of thing as an add-on. Told 'No'. Tried a 'Saphe' product but sent it back (drains the phone battery, that's doing all the hard work and software clunky and unreliable - who needs unreliable when we're talking 3 points etc). Tripped over this video and thought all my Christmasses had come at once. The seuence of button pushing was mildly different to enable functioning but easy to find right way eventually after a few wrong turns (A250e Hybrid AMG Premium Plus). Frankly couldn't believe it was working. Out for a drive and yes it works although missed the red light camera nearest my house. Range is quite long (it picks up a camera on the main road when I'm driving in an estate alongside the main road, one road back). Would LOVE to change the tone to something more strident or loud but hey-ho - it's good. Thank you!

Great tip, thanks. I loaded the free version first to check it worked fine before going for the paid upgrade. Loaded up ok (took a little while for the "Personal POI" option to become clickable as it initially loaded). Visual Warning and Acoustic Warning features however do not seem to be working on my MBUX - only mapping feature. Tried deselcting and reselecting the option and restart, but no change. Is this a problem others have had with the free to download option in UK?

Hey! Welcome to the family! A few people have ran into this problem with the option grey. We discovered if you remove the memory stick and shut down the car then start again. Turn engine on then on the screen with the map insert the USB stick and wait 3 minutes on the map screen. This will load up all the data. Then when you go into the menus it should not be gray. Just make sure to stay on the map screen while you are waiting. Hopefully this will all work 👍

Hi Oliver, this should work In a 2019 A-class. You may need to check the MBUX version since older versions don’t have all the features for audible warnings etc but a MB dealer should easily be able to run a software update if needed. The paid database is the most up to date. I think they update it once a year so it works out under £10 a year which is not bad.

When I start the car it boots into Android Auto, but I can access the Android MBUX menu (or something that looks very close to MBUX style) and the OEM system. As I have Google as default on my Android system can I use this USB to update speed cameras on Google maps? Or does this USB only update Mercedes OEM system maps? I notice that when using Google maps, the cameras do not show up when I'm driving without setting a desitination, which is really annoying. I hear Waze is very good for cameras, but I really dislike the UI and look of the maps on it.

Hey Katrin, where are you based? The camera databases should cover most of Europe.

I can't even get speed limits signs on my sat nav and it's a 2023 model

It’s possible you’re missing an optional extra. I think it’s called traffic or road sign assist. A sensor reads speed signs rather than using a database.

You are so right. Waze is still free with direction around traffic area and get to your destination a few minutes sooner or not..

Personal POI isn’t selectable..
@ABAUTOAMG Жыл бұрын
Hi there, a few have had this issue and we’ve been able to resolve it. If it’s grey and not selectable it’s usually because the data is still loading up from the usb. It can take a few minutes the first time. Try unplugging the usb stick and return to the main menu with the map. Plug the usb stick back in and wait 3 minutes then go into the menus and hopefully it won’t be grey. Let us know how you get on and il try help further If it’s still not working.

Try formatting usb with ntfs not fat32 and have only 1 file on usb stick. Insert, wait, if it does change from greyed out, then leave attached, switch off car and then go back in, should now work. Good luck.

Hey Michael, I’ve had no problems with the free files but if you’re worried you could go for the premium ones. I have links to both in the video description. I’ve found the premium ones to have much more accurate camera locations too.

If it’s grey that usually means it’s still loading up the database (takes longer first time). Try this: remove the usb from your car. Turn off and exit the car. Enter the car and turn everything on. Insert the usb stick into the port in the arm rest compartment but don’t go into the menus yet. Wait 3 minutes in the map screen for it to load up. Then go in and hopefully it won’t be grey. If it is try going back to the map and wait a couple mins then go back into the menu and check if its still grey. Once you’ve set it up they will load up instantly.

Why hasn't the Speed camera database been updated since early march
@Uncompromiser 9 ай бұрын
You keep saying you're 'Happy to Help' but you refuse to answer the simple question of why this database has not been updated for 6 months despite being promised as a regularly updated (monthly) service.

Hey, Sorry I get quite a few comments so It's easy to miss some. I’m happy to help setting this up as a fellow consumer but I have no affiliation or anything to do with the company that create the database. I just tried this myself and thought it would be a great video to share with my viewers. They don’t even know this video exists.

Hi, the compatibility notes on the paid for database says: ‘*** Requires latest software version: apilevel/ntg6/080.’ I have apilevel/ntg6/081, will this work?
