2022 C-Class lack of gauge customization
Hey there!
Anyone notice the lack of customization on the new c-class gauge cluster screens? I have the exclusive trim and recently it went back to dealer for tint. While it was there I had a loaner 2022 GLB 250. In that car, the gauge cluster had a TON more customization options. For the c-class only the classic will show any information but it only shows information one thing at a time. In the GLB, I could change the right side of the screen to show all sorts of information while maintaining the media display in the center section. The c-class won't do that. None of the other screens (sport, understated- can't remember the name) have any customization options what so ever. Maybe more customization will come in a future update but so far it is extremely lacking. My work sonata limited has way more customization than this C-Class.
Love the car just curious and very lightly frustrated by it.

Yes. I have expected more customization too. Especially because of other models have it. Is the S class have same level of no customization? Something tells me that not. But look at the bright side. You don't need to spend a lot of time trying different layouts.

Actually it looks like for this generation of SW MB has decided to limit customization to the number of preset gauge cluster layouts 
. Seems that it's across all models. May be MB considers high customization as a hazard of some sort. Or may be just cost saving. Not a big deal for me.

I think some people complained about the customizability of the gauges on MBUX 1 so on MBIX 2 (including all S, EQS, and C models now) you have limited options on what shows up in the middle of the screen between the bubbles and you can’t change the bubbles. It’s a huge miss to me.

I don't think this is necessarily true or at least is the reason in this case - it just happens that MB chose to limit the number of customization options on the guages for MBUX 2 due to many customers saying it was too confusing and there was too much going on most likely, and it also happens that the EQS, S, and C were the first to get the new MBUX 2 system. The A and E only have more guage customization because they are last gen cars with old tech.
