Hi newbie here have happily bought a Merc again. Though a few questions.

[Amer Malik]

Hi guys, thank you for accepting me to the group, bought a 2019 Mercedes GLC 250D -4 mastic AMG night edition 5 dr 9g tronic- just yesterday. Love the drive not as high up as my old Q7, but still lovely and comfortable. Only one small gripe I have is that it doesn’t have any way I can watch video.

I connected a USB stick with videos, yet all it would do is play the sound. Video comes in handy when you’re waiting somewhere. Also they no longer have a DVD drive.

Would anyone be able to kindly advise me how I can get video without voiding the manufacturer warranty.

Hello and welcome

Hello and welcome. Video works from USB stick on my 2018 GLC but only when stationary. What file format are you using?

Thank you ...I think the format is mpeg4, it was stationary, was getting sound, though no video, so must be a file format, though not sure which one would be the best, if I can find that then I’ll invest in a converter. Which format are your files?

I can't remember what I used to try it out but, according to my manual app, these are supported formats:
DVD-V, MPEG, WMV, M4V, AVI up to 720p

I can't tell whether your is a facelift car or not so it may be a later system than mine.

I’ve just been converting some of mine to AVI will stick them onto a USB in the morning, and hopefully give it a go. No not a facelift. 2020 is the facelift as far as I’m aware.

Very nice car indeed!

Very nice car indeed!

Thank you ..I just wish the infotainment, as good as it is, was somewhat better. No option for Apple play. I’m just trying out different video formats to see if they work. Will test tomorrow. Have heard that avi files will work.

I have just tried some sample videos on mine on a USB stick. .m4v and .avi worked, .wmv had audio only and it didn’t recognise .mov. Mine is a late 2018 GLC and still has the DVD slot so I’m surprised yours hasn’t.

 

[Amer Malik]

Yes I’m quite disappointed that it hasn’t a dvd drive, it’s just a CD player I think. Tried the usb stick earlier but it didn’t recognise any any of the files . Just formatting it again and will give it another try.

 

[Amer Malik]

To be honest my cd drive looks exactly the same, would love to have had apple play - but unfortunately not compatible.

Belated, welcome, Amer,
lovely motor.
