C450 Premium 2 Burmester Audio
Found a c450 I want to buy...only problem is it lacks the Premium 2 package. I have the upgraded headlights via the Lighting Package but want to know how much difference the Premium 2 package makes in sound quality. Anyone out there that can help me understand the difference from the base system in the C450?

I don't think you can add Lighting Package 2 WITHOUT adding the premium package 2.
Some snuck through in the very early builds though, so maybe that is it.. check to be sure what the lighting package is offering in that case.

I had a 300 with base audio for 100 miles, and the dealer let me trade it for a higher optioned one with the Burmester. That was not the only reason I made the trade, but it was definitely one of the reasons. There is a big difference. I would not buy a 60k car with the base audio.

Another voice for don't get the car without Burmester. They are worlds apart and it's worth every penny they charge for the premium system.

If you want a quality audio system, have a custom aftermarket audio system of your choice installed. I have a 2015 C300W4 that came with a Burmeister system and I was VERY disappointed with the sound quality. So I had a custom audio shop upgrade it and am VERY happy with my aftermarket system.

Have to agree with other posters mb have downgraded the base system so that upgrading to the burmester system is really a necessity. I am great fan of the burmester system it is clean and well balanced and the longer i live with it the more i appreciate it. However if your taste is bass heavy boom box style you may prefer an aftermarket system but if you are just after a decent sounding system to match the car the burmester is a good choice.

My aftermarket audio system is not bass heavy at all. The sound quality is (*****ing)what the Burmester sys should be) excellent.

I made mistake of not really listening to sound during test drive, and my C450 has base audio and it is terrible. Truly embarrassing. Somehow my car has LED headlamps, Nav, Pano roof, red leather......and an AWFUL soundsystem. I need help to fix this since I cant convert to Bermeister!! any ideas guys?

Meanwhile, set Bass and Treble to full and push the Mids almost all the way down. If your music is on an IPhone, try the EQu app by Elephant Candy is hugely helpful in correcting the EQ.
