That is the new audio 20 on the facelift C, the Nav+4 option code has changed on the 2012 order guide from 079 to 001 which would mean a new system which may mirror the basic EU nav. But it looks like all the initial cars will have COMAND standard.

Ok, i figure out more and more.....
Audio20: you can stream audio with your bluetooth phone, so the songs on my iphone can be played with the Audio20.
I you turn your A/C temperature higher/lower or you do anything with the A/C , the audio 20 display will display the A/C settings on the buttom.
You can turn off ESP in the menu, without going into the engineering menu.
Also installed my Powercube tuningbox, more power and torque
about 13hp and about 25 Ftlb
Plug and go, a 10 minutes job.
Engine runs smoother and is faster

Hi Petje, what is this powercube box and is it only for diesel engines?

I dont have a Diesel engine, i have a CGI Petrol engine, and they have it for the 180/200/250 CGI engines. Its a powerbox like Brabus, Vaeth, and other tuners also have.

the weird thing is I havent met anyone that didnt like the look of the pre facelift C class from the front. The rear is still kind of awkward and not perfect and they left that unchanged

W205 C400
In my opinion i liked the headlights of the pre-facelift more, but the front bumper is nicer from the facelifted C (non AMG package).
I think the rear will changed if there comes a new model C-Class, but i like the looks of the W204 rear...
The reason that i traded my car in was:
The new dashboard, thats a real good improvement... i didnt like the pop up screen in my previous W204, i hated that from day one, every day again...
The 7G-Tronic, nice and smooth
The price that i get back for my W204, that was so good, i couldnt get more anywhere.
The lowered pricing (here in the Netherlands), i paid 8000 Euro less for a completer car than my old W204.
And i see my dash more than my headlights, and its not that the lights are ugly in my opinion.... The more i see them the more i get used to it.
But the headlights of the pre where nicer.
Enjoy the weekend everyone
