Would very much appreciate you posting it (unless I missed it?). Determined to try to get to Dealer shortly - I'm having a hard time believing that HUD will be delayed beyond August production. MB has too much riding on the C Class to allow this - as I've said before they surely have dual sourcing - even if they have to switch priorities. But my company always kept customers in the dark when a production plant faced a catastrophe - so I'm not surprised at this point.

I do not, sorry. I've only ever asked for the Coupe guide because it's what I'm ordering.

jhillman posted it in another thread in this section, search for it yourself...I'm not going to waste my time hunting it down. The thread is literally titled something like "C43 Coupe Guide with full pricing". He posted it in this forum, the C Class Coupe forum, and the AMG C Class forum.

The guide says HUD available beginning with August production.

I got an email today from my dealer saying that he was able to add the HUD to my build today for a c43 sedan that was scheduled for the second decade of August.. Before today the system wouldn't let him enter HUD... Anyone else contact there dealer about HUD today to see if it can be added? Btw.. I'm in the USA and my car is most likely being built in Alabama.

He is lying. You should go down there immediately and camp out at his desk until he takes you to Alabama so you can personally see the HUD installed in the car. Seriously? Can you stop spamming the board with your bullish"t?

Well I don't think he is spamming - He's trying to confirm the info, that's it.

Arnold, Are you kidding? Have you not seen his multiple posts for the past week asking the same question over and over again? When you keep asking the same questions over and over to a large group I would consider that spam.

Just have him send you a screenshot of the order details showing the HUD option and production dates from Netstar. That will be your proof.

Thanks Gungaslow for bringing it up. I have my dealer confirmed. - the HUD is added to my August build. Looks like he is not lying to you. Good luck!

Note: US build C43 Sedan.

Sorry if I offended any of you.. I was just trying to help myself and everyone else on this matter... I'm very sorry I came off as a spammer..

He told me he can't send a screenshot because the pricing isn't released yet..also he didn't give me a date just said the second decade of August..that's why I was trying to confirm with others.. Sorry to offend you guys.

The recognition is limited to speed limits and signs that its not allowed to overtake.

I must say i am from the Netherlands so in North America the behavior might be different.

I love the HUD b.t.w.

The North American systems use GPS for the speed limit info. They are distinctly different from the European systems in this regard.

Revised HUD?

I recently revisited the same video from Autobahn, and I have noticed the HUD is different than the current version on my car (2015 C300).[URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJQ1ZW7J0Uw"]

Is it revised? Also, the new S coupe had the similar HUD. And it was not an AMG version. I would assume this "revised" HUD on C43 was not displaying the special AMG content.

How do you like this? I think I actually like it.




HUD shows mph only.

Arnold, do you know if parktronic is the only way to get the 180 degree rear camera view? Trying to decide if I should add it to my C43 sedan order.

Rear view cam is standard on C43.
If you are talking about the 360 degree cam, then you have to get the parking package $925

Right. Just not sure about the 180 view. My 2014 does not have the 180 view. Looking for cross traffic info when backing out of a spot with large vehicles on either side.

rearview cam has the feature to switch between 180 degree and the standard rear view.
