2020 MB GLE 350
Driver Display

Wife just got 2025 GLE 450. Had 2020 GLE 350, so similar interface. On the 2020 (no HUD on either vehicle) you could set the driver display so that the numerical speed was large and in the center. We are not seeing how to do this on the 2025. The numerical display is quite small and with the way she likes to position the steering wheel for her comfort it is very difficult for her to see her speed. Any ideas are appreciated.

I don't think you can set it, that is part of the change of MBUX 2.0 NTG 7, the 2020 had MBUX 1.0 NTG 6. The newer version is less customizable.

Actually, the 2025 might have MBUX 3.0 NTG 8, could be wrong.

You're welcome and yes try that suggested.

Lack of customization options for the instrument cluster is the main complaint people have going from MBUX 1.0 to 2.0 or 3.0

I have my center screen set to display the odometer and with that I have the digital speedometer above that display. I also have the digital speedometer in the HUD.

Thank, Pete.

How big is the numerical speed?. We have that set up. But the numerical speed is very, very small. In the 2020 we were able to choose it to be maybe 1.5-2.0 inches in height. It is much smaller in the 2025. I asked her if she wanted the HUD and she did not. I prefer it and have it in my X5 and cannot live without it since I occasionally exceed the posted limit, accidentally, of course.

It's big enough for me to see.

Yes, that it what we have. The old version is 2-3 times larger. If we had the HUD it would not be an issue but since we do not have it the small size is less helpful. Thanks for responding.
