airmatic/360 camera. NOT until Octomber?? anyone?

Hi,

I was just informed by my dealer, that optional airmatic suspension and 360 camera will not be offered by Mercedes Benz for cars going on production until beginning of Octomber, this is delaying my order but airmatic is a must option for me.

Anyone else had the same info?

I thought airmatic was standard on the C400, how can they make C400s then? I guess they won't.

early reports stated that aromatic was standard on the C400. This does not seem to be the case. Also, all the cars coming to the US will be C400s, the 300s will come early next year

Hi, Here in the UK I've been told the 360 degree camera option won't be available on 2014 build cars. I've heard two different reasons, first that there's an interference problem between the cameras and satellite navigation system or second that there's a component supply issue.

I haven't heard any problems with ordering the Airmatic air suspension option. However, UK cars are apparently built in Germany or South Africa so I guess these production plants may use different component suppliers to the USA plant.

Haha, yeah I forgot about that.

Well I guess they really changed up their initial release. Nobody seems to know anything for certain

That's incorrect. The C400 and C300 4Matic models arrive in Sept, the RWD C300 comes early next year. No way Mercedes is going to miss out on the entry level model, C300. They're all going to be 4Matics until spring when the RWD C300 arrives.

Hi Merlin1, Not long for you to wait. I'm jealous! Please let us know how you get on with your new C Class especially (a) the Airmatic suspension, (b) if you have any problems with any part of the car and (c) your likes and dislikes. Hope you have fun and an enjoyable purchase.

Exclamation 360 Camera for W205

In UK I have placed an order for a W205 - C250 AMG Premium Plus with AirMatic, Lane Assist, HUD etc. This was ordered in September for delivery 1st March 2015. Today I have an email saying 360 camera not available until March 2015 build. Therefore my car would not be delivered with camera until April or May 2015!

Been told the same....was aiming for a March 2nd date and was shifted back to the end of March 2 days ago....although being told it might be sooner....just seems there is no clear understanding of when the first car will hit the road with the 360 camera...
