How’s it work on a 2016 GLE with old style key. I have start button but a key that looks like it needs to be put in the ignition

@npoleary 4 ай бұрын

Just press lock twice to turn off keyless entry (if you have it) With the previous style GLE you can actually take the button out by pulling it and use the key the old fashioned way! 🤓

Actually the window-opening/closing thing with the remote/keyless fob has been around since the 1990s (1996 models upwards) because I recall reading about it in the owner's manuals of those older models. I remember when the remote used to be that line-of-sight infrared type of the 1991 C-Class (W202)...a late uncle of mine had one; his could have the windows/sunroof open/close if you held down the respective button in the remote fob. Mercedes-Benz cars rock 🤘🏾!

You can do that but just go careful if it’s close to the door like in the door pocket, there could be a situation where it’ll think the key is outside of the car and then let you lock it. Then after a minute or two due to no movement the key will switch off! So go careful!

Hey thanks Kris! Ooo very nice! Glad you’re loving the videos! I’ve considered that but the only issue is, spec varies massively from UK’s specification to even other countries and is almost impossible to cover every variant. The easiest way I found is making playlists, so if you have an EQC, this playlist with MBUX would be good for you 🤓 Should cover 90% of the stuff 👍🏼 kzfaq.info/sun/PLyo-duQc8mypLutfnpJC7e2OHUC87mcYe

@sambakorea Жыл бұрын

Hello Nick, very informative (like always) and a ‘life-saver’ video! The driver’s side door lock and unlock-only option setting on the key have been significant features in my case. I parked the car in a not-so-friendly neighbourhood. While unlocking the door around 8 pm, one guy approached and tried to open the diagonally opposite door from the driver’s side and got pissed off after forcefully trying multiple times. He then gave a big bang on the door and window glass and moved on. Thanks for covering up this key setup feature in the video. Another topic-I am planning to go for a new car during September/ October, so the question for you is whether Mercedes-Benz has the factory default options for rear view dash-cam. Currently, I have a 2020 model of GLE 450, and it has only a frontal dash cam, and I have to initiate the loop recording manually every time before driving. Not an efficient feature in this case😥😥. Though I linked the dash-cam start to the gesture control, there is no need to press any button anymore, but still have to remember to make the gesture to initiate the recording. Is there any improvement in the newer models in this area?

Wow, you were lucky to have escaped that car-jackb attempt.

No worries! No sadly not, all cars operate that part automatically so there aren’t any stats on the screens to see what it’s doing. Most of the time though it’s regenerating but braking at lower speeds. If it’s really quiet, I’ve heard them, I think it’s like 10/15 mph or less for the brakes.

Hey Malcolm. I've asked the same thing to my Mercedes mechanic. He says you don't need to worry about that we got that covered every 10,000 miles you come in. So I guess they just inspect it or do their little cleaning or greasy thing. I've had 60,000 miles on mine so far never really asked about it but it moves back and forth the same as the day I got it. So I guess you can just mention it at every service. Even if you never know how to do it they could definitely handle that easily

the "2 press lock button" worked to disable keyless go for my NA 2020 GLE . Really nice to stop that man in the middle theft technique. Also the dead key in the cupholder is necessary now because mercedes eliminated the pop out start button. That allowed you to insert the key in the normal/old ignition slot and it would work with a dead key battery.

I've tried to use the blade to access the keyhole on both my S500 and GLE350 and no matter how much I twist or pull I cannot get the top piece to pop-off.

I may ask the serv tech to try it at my next appmt.

Hi Nick, pls keep the tips and tricks rolling. I have an EQC400 and thought that there was a way to ‘save’ our driver’s seating & mirror positions. Either save to our key fobs or save to our MBUX profiles. The idea being that the seat moves into position as we enter the car. Any tips for this one? Cheers H

@npoleary Жыл бұрын

Hey Hugh, depends on the specification if you have memory seats or not. They are saved with 1, 2 & 3 on the doors if you have them. Sadly both keys are exactly the same, there isn’t a way to save settings in that way to a key.

@viperhd70 Жыл бұрын

Also, in my EQB seat/mirror positions are also saved in the MBUX driver profile. So would expect it to be the case in an EQC as well. Of course, it does require the sometimes optional Memory Seats feature. Annoyingly though, there is no way to select a profile before actually getting into the car.

@hughadams1381 Жыл бұрын

Thx ViperHD, the saved seat settings against driver profile is what I expected in EQC. I haven’t been able to get it working, so maybe (being an older model than EQB) the function does not exist in EQC.

Hey Chris thank you! Sadly this “new MBUX” is a completely different multimedia system. It shares the name “MBUX” but internally in Mercedes dealerships it’s called NTG 7 (the previous one is NTG 6). It has different processors and graphics and additional hardware for faster performance and new features. It’s similar to how a new phone is launched with updated things. It’s only found on models currently with portrait styled screens in the middle of the car

No need to 🤓 I’ve covered a video in the past that the key actually has a motion sensor inside. Modern Mercedes keys turn off after a short while (around 2-3 mins I believe) and stop transmitting signals until it’s moved again. This prevents hacking that we’ve all heard about before in the news etc. Now what I’d recommend is take every step possible to help delay and in some circumstances prevent a theft entirely. Things like Faraday pouches, security cameras and all sorts can help. Link to the video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdOkkrB6ytbToWw.htmlsi=O6Gy7hqYSB4aT0bx

2023 and I can't believe that Mercedes is still not linking keys to driver profiles. With just about every couple they each use their own key, so this is perfect to decide who is driving the car. A lot of other manufacturers have had this for years, but Mercedes just remains stubborn. Same goes for driving options (Dynamic Select, Lane Assist, etc) which are also profile/driver independent. Bloody annoying.

@npoleary Жыл бұрын

Ah it’s because Mercedes wanted to appeal to more owners and drivers. With keys, you’re limited to two user’s settings. But with profiles you can go up to 6 or 7 users.
