All my other previous cars where I've played music via a stick just carries on from where the last song finished.

Hey Rog, ah perfect glad you like the videos! Unfortunately no this is the way it’s designed. When the car is switched off, it does not retain where your music left off as in Mercedes it’s down to the music player to hold that info. As it’s a USB stick, it’ll just play from the start. The only couple of things you can do are to transfer music to your phone or a dedicated MP3 player that can retain where you left off. Or potentially, just a thought you could pop the track list onto shuffle? It’ll of course play everything in shuffle but at least then you won’t hear the same songs at the start.

Thank you! Ooo nice! Well the issue is with plug-in hybrids is that you may potentially be looking at the wrong stats and the WLTP measurements you will have seen don’t help. They’re not really built for hybrids, I’ll explain so bear with, I wrote this out to others too. When it comes to MPG readings, hybrids should also be using mpkWh. It basically depends on the journey you do. So for example, if you drove 2 miles up the road, went into the shops then drove back and the engine didn’t switch on, you will have achieved 999+ miles per gallon, because you haven’t used any gallons of fuel, just electric. Another example, same trip but if you accelerated hard at the lights just once, then drove normally for the rest of it, then your MPG might be around 300-400 MPG because it averaged out on electric for most of it. And the final example, same trip again but this time you drove there on electric and then drove back with the engine on “Battery Level” (this mode uses the engine) then your MPG might be around the 100-200 MPG mark. Miles per gallon is very tricky to work out on hybrids because there is another source of power pushing you around which throws off stats. MPG is used to measure how much fuel we use, where as electric is measured in MPkWh (miles per kWh) This is why that figure seems high on short journeys but less on longer journeys. Of course the more you run on electric and plug it in, the better your MPG will be but with a plug-in hybrid you don’t have to complete a journey.

When I press down the home button or the black button next to it on the wheel and then select something it just puts the radio on the little screen next to the wheel, what on the wheel do I press for it to appear in between the 2 dials behind the wheel?

Hi Nick. Why do you think they got rid of the customizations of the left and right dials on all Mercedes models. I feel like there's got to be something more than just saving money. It's weird to have it on my 22 a class but you can't even do it on an 23 s class. Kind of bizarre to me

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! So if you have a touchpad, in the middle of the car then it’ll be before facelift. If you do not have a touchpad then it’ll be after facelift. With the Touchpad, you should have that menu behind the steering wheel but if you don’t you’ll be able to change it on the centre screen. Home, Settings and then System and I seem to recall it was the first one. If you do not have a touchpad, there are pre set themes but you can’t change the colours, so you can only change the centre dial.

Hey Gerard, Ah that's an easy one. All Mercedes-Benz just like all manufacturers undergo testing either through NEDC or WLTP. WLTP is the newest one which offers more realistic driving however it is important to note that they are done at specific conditions to achieve the best range possible. You can achieve this but you'll have to replicate the conditions to get that figure. There are many factors that influence range which can include the starting charge of the battery, use of A/C & heating, windows open/closed, factory-fitted options such as wheel sizes, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load. There is also something to note as well, Mercedes-Benz range indicators are just like the fuel range indicators on traditional cars, they will constantly change highlighting the range you will actually achieve. So for example if it's -5°C the range is going to state less because the car just informs you what it thinks you will get based on temperature. Of course that's in the cold, Air conditioning also uses power which influence the range too. Hope that helps!

As it’s different to MBUX, you might be able to change your left screen (just thinking of a workaround). Press: HOME SYSTEM DISPLAYS & STYLES ADDITIONAL DISPLAY AREA and change this to Navigation This spilts your multimedia screen in half something you can’t do in MBUX 😝 Hope that helps!

Hi Nick, once again a great video. I will finally receive my a class a200 amg line premium next Friday! Been a long wait and I was given the chance to get my car earlier due to the chip shortage affecting the 4g module and augmented reality function which would be installed next year January free of charge. Quick question due to this would I still have the function of using full screen navi on the right hand screen with the augmented reality function being missing? If so I would assume that function would work when augmented reality was installed? Also with the video chip being the higher model I believe nvidia reilly with the chip shortage would that mean once again I would have to wait for the augmented reality chip/4g module to be installed before I can watch video files in my car? Would be great if you could assist on this matter.
