Megaoctane,

Does your can have the welcome home feature?

I mean the blue led light when you unlock the car?

vic viper

I think that both LED systems have this, regular LED and ILS.

kots

Megaoctane will enlighten us on this as he has the normal LED system I believe

megaoctane

Yes, it has the led lights on the top. they start out blueish, but extremely quickly turn to white. One of the most beautiful features of the exterior in my opinion.

Forecast says no rain for the next four days. That means a full body wash and window cleaning...

megaoctane

Thanks and congrats on the order on the new C.

vic viper

Was 360 camera available hen you placed your order?


My car is scheduled for october production but 360 camera wasnt ready for production yet

kots

We added the 360 camera today as one of the last changes on my order, we will have factory confirmation in the next few days so I"ll keep you informed

skullboy

Are you in the US ? Keep us posted on the availability of the 360 camera.

hi megaoctane,

do you have the pictures for the partial LEDs at night ? I want to see how they look since i have ordered the same light.

Thanks.

Here in Italy 360 camera became available for orders a couple of weeks ago. I ordered the tech pack (including rear view camera and Garmin) and now I could go, at the same price, for 360 camera and Garmin but, as far as I understood that kind of camera is useless for me (I need the camera just to park the car in R in my narrow garage): coloured lines displayed on the rear view are far more useful

megaoctane

don't have any night pictures. but here is a picture showing all three type of lights. the only difference is cornering lights that are missing.
The high beam comes from the middle ones on mine.

vic viper

the 360 camera system is way more useful in any situation, as first of all you can see the car from a birds eye view (lika a camera on top of the car) and second you can select any individual camera to be displayed on the screen.

Edo81

Wow, didn't know. Unfortunately now is too late for me.
Strange, but it could be i bug in the configurtor, that it is sold in the tech package at the same price of the rear view camera. Just for curiosity: does the 360 camera display also the coloured lines?

vic viper

Yes, the 360 system also have the steering guidelines.

Edo81

I saw, it's great! I configured again the car but there is clearly a bug in the configurator: 360 camera is always free of charge... :-D

vic viper

Just checked with Daimler and the 360 system is still not available for order at this time, and my car will "lock" this week making it impossible to input further changes, so it looks like I have to live with just the reversing camera

kots

My car is also to "lock" this week, and I just added 360 camera in my last changes, the dealer hasnt mentioned anything about availability, but I quess we will know for sure in the coming days, good news is that the "communication module" will be fitted on all cars produced from start of semptember

vic viper

Please keep me updated regarding this matter, I must get to the bottom of this, if I find out that I really could have gotten the 360 system after my car is locked I dont know what Ill do, the 360 system was kind of a dealbreaker to me.

kots

If this option became available recently in Italy as edo81 said, this might mean that mercedes has overcome the issues with this, we will know when my dealer calls me to confirm everything when the order "locks"

360 system is also one of the best features for me, as well as the airmatic suspension

kots

Do you know how long before production does the order lock??

highrise

The online user manual for the w205 shows that the basic rear camera and 360 rear camera are located in the same place.

If this is not a mistake, all of the wiring and mounting work is already done if you purchase the basic rear view camera. A later retrofit to the 360 camera would then be easier and less costly. Or at least one would hope.

utsenmo

there is more to just the wiring I think, the 360 camera would require additional lens on side mirrors and front, so if our MY15 doesnt come equipped with those cameras (which I believe it does not) then it will prob be more expensive for you to upgrade/retrofit later.

Edo81

Yup. HW: additional side lenses and wiring and SW in order to build up the images and show them correctly on the screen.
