Spot on XYZ56771, I bought a Merc C220d AMG line estate ( 69 plate ) recently. Traded in a 66 plate Ford Mundano ( Mondeo ) titanium and was gobsmacked at how un-intuitive the Merc controls and media system is compared to the Ford. Having said that, I love the car and it's been interesting finding out the features etc , some by myself and with Nick's awesome videos. Once you understand how it is laid out it isn't really that difficult, I guess it's just I got used to a different system with the Ford. Cheers.

The old one with the dots on the dash and at the back on the inside of the roof was better than showing it on the multimedia display. It forced you to look at the front or at the back and worked extremely well. I wonder why they did away with such a wonderfully thought out idea. The front sensors are delayed because you drive forward all the time. It doesn't want to then beep in traffic or when pedestrians walk past. It's very clever.

Idea for another video - not sure if it's sufficiently large an idea for an entire video though. I personally find all those curved lines on the reversing camera very unhelpful. I guess they're supposed to show where you're currently heading with the current amount of steering lock, but for me when I'm parking in our underground car park reversing into my parking space, they don't help me at all. I tend to just look at how far I am from the wall and the car to my right and then switch it into top-down view to make sure I'm parking in a straight line. I've got the auto-parking feature but I feel like I'd be giving up if I reverted to using that. A video showing where you use the lines to help you reverse-park into a regular supermarket style middle space. Or is it just me?

Hey Wynn, I’ve had this happen once before but upon looking, it happened to be a plastic bag floating around in the wind 😅 Best thing I can suggest, if something is causing them to go go off you can switch them off very quickly. If you have MBUX, there’s actually a button on the top right to turn them off temporarily (you can see this in thumbnail of the video). If you have any other multimedia system, usually they’ll be a button with the symbol for a sensor and the word “off” either in the middle of the car next to the wheel to control the multimedia system. Or rarer than this it’ll be over on the right above the AUTO light switch but it’s not that common to be in this area.

@npoleary
10 ай бұрын
Oh no it shouldn’t be disturbing It’s designed that way 🤓 I asked Mercedes this years ago and this is what they said. Reversing cameras used to be just mounted on the exterior exposed to the light conditions which made it show the image instantly. Because they were on the outside they got dirty very quickly. However newer styled cameras now have a retractable housing which is good for keeping it clean but the camera when it pops out has to expose for the light (daytime / nighttime / low light etc) and it can take seconds before it actually shows you an image. To combat this Mercedes will have the camera “pre-pop out” as you slow down so when you do select reverse, the image is shown instantly.
@danielrustico

@@npoleary Thanks for the explanation Nick :-) It makes sense when considering the employed technical solution (still not user friendly though). Specially when manouvering, back and forth several times in a row might reduce the camera lifespan. At the same time, I feel there is room for improvement there. For instance, by having the indoor reverse camera always on (like a dashcam) and automatically deciding when to display the image. Some people could even wish to have it on all the time, like an extra rear view mirror. It should simply be a user choice in my opinion 😉 Thanks again!

Hey Angela Planet, hmmm that doesn’t sound quite right if your sensors are going off on their own. Have you spoken with your local Mercedes? They may be able to check calibration on each one to see if they’re behaving correctly. With speed limits on the Sat Nav, it all comes down to the equipment on your car. As standard there’s “Speed Limit Assist” which runs off of the data from the Sat Nav (updated about 2-3 times per year). Optionally available from factory is “Traffic Sign Assist” which physically reads speed limit signs on the road as you pass them which is more accurate then the previous one. Sadly speed cameras aren’t available on any German car because Speed Camera detection is illegal in Germany so naturally not available on any German car. However…Apple CarPlay or Android Auto then comes to the rescue for that 🤓

Hello Nick very good information. However, when entering a parking space from an approach angle of around 90 degrees, you often need to get extremely close to a parked car so you can complete the maneuver in the middle of the parking space. Unfortunately, the sensors are blaring away in red and you have to guesstimate how close you actually are to the next vehicle with your front. Its very uncomfortable getting so close and the parking sensors in this situation are useless. If you could tune them so that around 4 inches they become red would be a huge help in this everyday scenario.

Hey Nick, I know this might be a bit late, but I recently talked with you about getting a 2023 GLA 45 AMG (my dream car). I realized that it didn’t came with sensors, is there a way to installing them after being manufactured? I recently spoke with my NY MB car dealer and they told me that it was not recommended to installed them after manufactured. I did had a 2018 GLA 180 sport with parking sensors in Peru, and it was the best car I could have as an Architect for such tight and bumpy roads. Is there a way to certifiably install them without damaging anything OR do I need to buy the certified pieces from Europe or UK and find a third party installer on my own? I have been cautious with the car and its 382hp but not having sensors keeps me at edge. Please do let me know if there is a way I could install 2023 GLA 45 AMG parking sensors assists or other third party sensors I could safely install in my car!

Hi Dianne, yes I’ve noticed that before when I jumped in a GLE of that year, the parking sensors are not linked to the multimedia system. They are designed to be visual first, audio second. So have a look at the bar and you’ll see the yellow dots appear (2-3 is usually close enough). The red however will beep and means stop as you’ll be extremely close.

Hello, very helpful video clips. I haven't gotten to know my Mercedes very well yet and I'm not sure what equipment I have. Specifically, according to the equipment code: 258 COLLIS.WARN. SYS. W/ ACTIVE BRAKE INTERV. FCW STOP. Will it brake automatically when hitting an obstacle (vehicle) in front? When I get close, the red triangle turns on, if I don't touch the brake, then a sound is heard. It's too expensive for me to test if the brakes will activate if I don't react :-). My vehicle does NOT have a main radar for the distronic! Thanks

Hi and Thank you for your great videos. I just wanted also to ask you a question and maybe if you do have older benz models to confirm this , that would be great. I own 2018 E300 . what is really strange is, the warning tone volume is different front with back regardless how loud I adjust it in setting. the rear parking sensor is so low than is I can barely hearing it when it beeps . front ones are fine tough. I took my car the dealership and they said it is like that by default! is it though? if yes, why? it is not safe at all especially when people sitting in the car and it is not quiet. can hardly hear the beep. and I already adjusted the volume to the highest also changed and tried different pitch sounds. Thank you

Sadly I only started my channel in 2020 so have limited coverage on cars prior to that, but… Mercedes sensors always used to “visual first” and the sound means stop. So the yellow blocks that come up on the sensors, usually 2-3 is enough for most parking situations. When it goes red, red is about the width of the steering wheel which is very close and does sound then.

Hey Kevin, sadly this is just the way the cameras work. I believe that Mercedes listened to feedback on their first generation cameras years ago. They used to open up and the camera had to expose for a few seconds to get the right brightness level so you can see. Now they pre pop out getting the right exposure before showing you on the screen.

Hi Nick. Can you do a full video on using parking sensors with most recent mbux NTG 7, where they the front and rear sensors are located, how to read and understand the front and rear sensors (which is quite complicated to read and understand). With normal standard parctronic one simply sees the sensors in front and rear (via rear view mirror), simple. Here there is a front sensor showing in the front HUD and I can not see any sensor displays physically located in the rear. The ones located in the NTg 7 display are very difficult to understand. Plus additionally when reversing to parallel park next to a curb the side mirrors don't automatically swivel downwards so you can not physically see the curb and the display shown on the NTG 7 display is very difficult to read and comprehend, you see lines but the section of vehicle in the actual cartoon photo shown on display is displayed in a "cloudy" way. With no mirrors slanted to show the curb and the curb section not clear in the photo it makes is almost impossible to confidently park without risking of suffering wheel curb damage without nervously having to spend time while you have passing cars waiting for you to park to either pull down window and stick your head out and physically see the distance between your wheels and the curb or to attempt to manually adjust the side mirrors to slant down and they don't easily and simply slant down and in most cases don't slant down enough to see the curb. Suffice it to say one has to count their blessings and wing it and hope for the best they don't hit the curb. I would be truly grateful if you can do a comprehensive video on the topic and if you can please demonstrate it with a vehicle that has rear axle steering. Many thanks!!!

While it’s on screen, just use your finger to control where you’re looking or use the presets on the menu bar that pops up from the bottom when on the camera.

You might see the orange bars appear on the instrument cluster above the C and A at the top.
