Apparently MB completely removed Burmester from any trim of 2023 models.
if you watch this video at minute 1:00 it shows the window sticker of a pinnacle model.
it doesn’t even mention DA6 or 810 nor credit for the absence of it.

That one has a serial number in the 75000s, so it was likely built maybe in July or August, maybe September. At the time they still had no supply. So no cars had DA6. But it’s slowly starting to trickle back in and will be available this year I’m pretty sure.

There wouldn’t be a credit or a sense for it because of the way Mb did their Trims. The exclusive and pinnacle trims are just a combination of standalone options and packages. If one of them isn’t equipped, it just doesn’t show up on the window sticker and isn’t charged. Sound package was never charged so there isn’t a credit for it not being there. This car also doesn’t have wireless charging so it just isn’t even on the window sticker. It was never charged in the first place. The other two missing standards are given credits because those are standard features so included in the base price.

@BenjaminKohl I really hope you are right, also because my Pinnacle is being built right now in South Africa (expected delivery in Texas at the end of February).

I ordered Pinnacle and DA6 isn't included on the build sheet...

Our order sheet - from our order in July - includes DA6.

My order sheet includes it too, but it might differ from the final build sheet.
As soon as I receive the final build sheet I will share it. Hopefully DA6 will still be there.

one thing is the order sheet, another very different thing is the build sheet. Even the build sheet can get updated. The only lasting truth is the VIN details.

When you say final build sheet, i'm guessing you mean once the car has been built and assigned a VIN? I am also waiting for my build date (scheduled for 2/1/23) and my build sheet has it but based on what I've read in this and other posts, sounds like it's not a final sheet until the car has actually been assembled and assigned a VIN. I've attached my latest build sheet for reference.

i believe that is your order sheet, not build sheet. Build sheet probably includes the VIN

There it is. That makes sense! I've got my fingers crossed for the 3D audio to come on my order as it sounds like many other do too.

The listing is written by lazy people at dealerships. Whatever they list is half BS. I once found a 2022 c class manual according to the listing they wrote.
The window sticker is the only reliable source.

I can see they don’t mind putting them in the new C43 so their is a chance they are coming back to the C300 also.

So if you order the c300, and you want the upgraded audio, can you still refuse it? Or is it a given you have to take whatever comes from the factory?

That’s what I did after I found out my c300 wasn’t going to have the upgraded sound system. It was a refundable deposit but you should check.

I finally took delivery of my 2023 W206 and I can confirm the sound package made it into the build. They are starting to include them in new builds.

Just out of curiosity, when did you place your order for the 2023 model?

Just fyi but the mid tier audio system or the "advanced audio system" comes with the plastic tweeters that sounds awfully muffled and hissy from the stock systems of yesteryears' MBs.

They look like this:

On 2022 w206s without sound package there are no tweeters, the burmester branded covers on both doors can be popped off to reveal an empty space!

thank you for the quick reply. No surprise you got DA6 and a “quick” delivery, I am sure NYC orders have high priority not only within the US but around the world in general. Congrats on your new car! I will join the club soon
