Hi guys and welcome to the channel my name is Nick O'Leary!
Now just a couple of weeks ago I had a suggestion in the YouTube comments section about a topic
called the favourites menu what it is and how to program it or make use of it in your Mercedes.
So based on your suggestions for future content
that's exactly what we're covering today let's have a look!
So maybe by now you've mastered all the buttons in your new Mercedes and
have memorised all the menus but are you making use of that favourites button?
The favourites button is basically your own customisable menu
and lets you assign all these different shortcuts to save you time really.
Now the favourites button is found in most modern Mercedes-Benz
and is either located in the middle of the dashboard or on your steering wheel.
Now a simple press of this favourites button will bring up the favourites
menu and as you can see there's a few things here that you can add
to this to make it your own menu because it is your own menu after all.
Now by default there's about eight to ten things here that you can delete and
then start again from scratch so these things will be alarms for the exterior,
alarms for the interior and then even things like adjusting the ambient lighting
and all of your sat nav destinations as well are stored in this menu.
So you can see here i've got "Home" "Work"
and then I've got "Gym" saved as well, Bluetooth for music off of your phone,
a radio station there, ambient lighting, then of course I've got the alarms.
Now as I said you can actually rename these to anything you fancy so for
those with a keen eye you may notice it says outside alarm and inside alarm
now by default they actually say "Tow Away Protection" and "Interior motion sensor".
So to rename these if you hold your finger on the touchpad or hold your finger on one of the tiles,
you can rename this to virtually anything you fancy.
So let's add a radio station for example so going across to "Create Favourite" you'll notice that
there's a few tabs down the right hand side and this is how you can add certain favourites to this
favourites menu. But with the radio stations it's a little bit different because obviously
there's loads of radio stations so I think where I am right now there's maybe about 50 of them.
If you go to the radio station you want to save,
so let's say I want to say for example this one. If you hold your finger on the actual button
(on the star) then it'll ask would you like to create a new favourite? Yes!
And then that saved it in that favourites menu so if we press the star once more you'll see there
there's our new tile that we just created and if I hold this i can then rename this to something
that's a little bit more user-friendly so let's get rid of the end bit just there.
And tap okay and that's it saved!
And maybe I want to move this so if I hold this one
tap move and then I can swipe this across and move this next to my other radio station.
So this is obviously really good it's a way of saving a bit of time
of course even if you don't add these customisable tiles all your sat nav
destinations will be in here anyway so even if you don't make your own tiles you've got "Home",
"Work" and any others you've saved there as well (usually on the far left or the far right).
What happens if you have made some tiles here for example and you just want to start again
from fresh really. So really easy all you do is go to the profile selector at the top
and of course all these favourites are saved on your profile.
Now if you don't know what the profiles are I won't cover that specifically in this video
but click on the banner up above and that will show you how to
create profiles and show you exactly what you can save on them.
But as all the favourites are saved per profile all we do is just edit this profile so I'm going
to go into the little dots just here and as you can see you can reset certain elements of your
profile. Now I'm going to reset the favourites to factory settings of course then it'll ask
if you're sure you want to do that....so yes and then that has been reset back to factory.
So let's go back to that favourites menu now and you'll see all the default tiles
when you first enter that favourites menu so you can see here you've got setup assistant that's the
menu that you have when you first turn the car on so when you first get it.
Consumption screen engine data now personally I don't use those so
on my menu i customise I deleted those but you can see here of course you can add
and remove different tiles and it's a great way of saving time especially when obviously
you're driving you've got a menu that you can customise with just a couple of taps away.
And there we go guys that concludes this week's video
on how to add and customise your favourites menu.
