It’s not an option.
I don’t know where you post from, but certain markets or regions like Europe have the blue inserts, here in US we only get the ones with the orange markers.
Orange markers are mandatory here in US on the front of the car (and red on the back).
Mercedes decided to install them inside the headlights.

 

Don't waste your time and effort with dealerships, as most of them can't help you and don't even know what's done through pure software programming and what requires a hardware upgrade. If your car is equipped with digital light, you only need to code it to activate the 30U, 41U, or 42U options. Coding is currently very expensive, and few people have access to coding new models.

Do you have any response to that? I have a C200 W206 Avantgarde Premium Package, so no PAX (it comes with Premium Plus). However, I have 30U, 42U & 43U. Additionally i do have the Individualisation Package from the App. I have the most current software version of MBUX. I do not see animation option on the Settings under the Digital Lights menu. I chatted with MB Austria about it and they say, there are basically 2 Digital Lights:

1. Premium Package: Digital Light
2. Premium Plus Package: Digital Lights with Projection function

I asked why the hell I have all 30U, 42U and 43U then and they had no answers. They say I should not have those with Premium Package normally. Next week i will visit MB Dealership here in Austria but I do not think they will even understand the issue We will see anyways what will be the answer. In the meantime I would really love to hear if someone had the same issue and solved somehow without coding outside of MB itself.

 

I just bought a 2026 C43 a few weeks ago. The "Warning and information symbols on the roadway" option was working on my drive home from the dealer, but they haven't worked since then. The software was updated that night, so I guess that broke it. The welcome/goodbye animation still works.
Options 43U, 42U, and 316 are on the spec sheet.

Does anyone know what's up or how to resolve this?

 

I visited the MB Dealer. They were also not sure why I do not have. On documentations it is stated that it comes only with Premium Plus Package even though there is no technical difference and I am fit technical wise (typical MB thing these days... If you like to have more options you just need to pay extra even though you have the hardware). However, the technical guy told me that even though without the Premium Plus Package, since I have 30U, 42U and 43U it should work. They made an appointment for end of November. We will see what will come out. I hate that Call Center or even the Dealer is not sure if I have it or not, or what is the real issue. It feels like a lot of people doing some automated jobs manually like checking the prepared answers and give it to the customers. There so less employees who has a know-how about their products. It even happens when I order for example some accessories or parts. I always tell the exact name and product number but they behave like they did hear for the first time. This level of service is way behind 'premium' feeling unfortunately.

 

I put in a support request on the MB Digital Extras website and this was the response...two weeks later:

"Thank you for contacting Mercedes-Benz Digital Extras. I am more than happy to assist you with providing information regarding the 42U Warning and Information Symbols feature you are no longer able to access. I understand how important it is to have access to all of the Digital Extras available to your vehicle.
After reviewing your concern, I can confirm that the feature associated with option 42U (Warning and Information Symbols on the Roadway) was previously linked to Traffic Sign Assist functionality. This feature is no longer supported following recent software updates, which is why you are not seeing these symbols in your display."

So, Mercedes sold me an option, I paid for that option, and they removed that option without warning me? wtf

 

welcome to Mercedes Benz!

I have digital lights on my 63SE as well and the only thing that's good for is the blind spot warning since I don't have traffic sign assist to begin with. was debating if I should just pay to unlock the Traffic Sign assist.

I also just realize the MB Me app is free for 1 year only unlike my previous 3 BMWs.

 

An update to the topic. I went to the dealer. They updated the MBUX from 329.501 to 505.404. As soon as they updated, I have got a notification from the MB App that there are new features available to be purchased.



Then I went to pick up my car. They informed that Digital Lights should be working now. I asked if I have to purchase from the App but they couldn’t answer. I anyways checked the system and my menu did seem still the same: no option for Welcome Animations and also for projection. I then did activated the Digital Light Projection package. (There’s a free trial month) However it is still not activated. When I check it from the Store in my car, it seems still that it is gonna be prepared and be activated. It’s been more than a day but it’s still not active. I hope it will be activated and will be available. I will wait in the worst case till end of January. I have another appointment and will ask once more there.

 

An update: after 72h my Digital Lights Package has been activated. I have animations and warning signa now. So if you have Digital Lights with the newest version of MBUX you can use it by purchasing. I think with Premium Plus package there’s no need to purchase a package.

 

Dear Mercedes-Benz Service team,

I am a happy customer of a C300e (W206) from 12/2021 stationcar, based in Denmark. The car has almost all possible extras, among which Digital lights with projection function. The codes are from the Danish dealer P. Christensen who extracted the spec sheet for me. In there you will see that the car is equipped with all possible hardware for the Digital lights and has the following codes, which cover all possible options (symbols, animations, etc):

- 318 HEADLIGHT UNIT DIGITAL LED LIGHT SYSTEM RHT
- 30U PROJECTION FUNCTION VIA HEADLIGHT
- 42U PROJECTION FUNCTION VIA HEADLIGHT - SYMBOLS
- 43U PROJECTION FUNCTION VIA HEADLIGHT - ANIMATION

I purchased this car from Germany, where it was originally manufactured for the German market, driven there by a private person and then I imported it to Denmark 2 months ago. However, I have noticed that I have never seen so far any projections coming from the Digital Lights. This is similar to what @LarsB has also been reporting.

For example, there should be projections on the road, when there are road works, upcoming Stop sign or traffic light, also city function of the digital lights that lit up wider part of the road depending on how much I turn the steering wheel, etc. The only feature I have seen is the road signs on high ways being lit up, but never any projections on the road. None of this works.

Furthermore, even in my Mercedes Me app (see screenshot) it says that upon start I should be able to see/choose a "Digital Rain" animation, but this is not the case and the animation upon start is just some lights crossing each other, however with my specs and model, this should be available and also it shows on the video that this is a feature of Digital Lights (see video link

here

, which shows all features that I should have available).



The car does have the latest possible MBUX (RL_NTG7_E505.404_24441AC3) for this model installed 1 month ago in Denmark, by Ejner Hessel. All the toggles are also activated in the actual car under the "lights" menu and "Digital lights" section. I also always drive with the "automatic high beam" option turned on next to the activated low beam green icon.

So I have noticed that on the high way when the digital lights get activated, the high beam icon becomes blue and the traffic signs get this extra light beam on them, which makes them very bright.

So I am a bit puzzled why are my Digital Lights not working as advertised and with all the functionalities that they carry from a hardware and software perspective.

I spoke with Ejner Hessel (one of the Danish dealers) on the phone but they could not answer and did not know as they were very puzzled. They told me that the projection function of digital lights is forbidden in Denmark, but could not answer to me which parts are then allowed? Also my challenge to them was that the car was manufactured for the Germany market where all of this is allowed, incl. all types of projections, so does the car "automatically" turn off these features because it assess based on the GPS that it is Denmark? This sounds to me very strange and unlikely. Similar to @LarsB I am wondering could it be that my Digital lights are "an older version", even though to me this should not matter if the software and hardware codes enable all these functions Or is it because my MBUX was updated to the latest version here in a Danish dealership - Ejner Hessel, hence some local Danish restrictions apply?

They told me that they need to look at the car in a workshop, but I would like to understand first from you what is the issue here...as I would like to avoid now paying them money just for "the time" and then not get it resolved. The car has a still a full warranty from Mercedes-Benz Germany (MB-100), covering also Denmark (all of EU), so if there is any software or smth on those Digital lights have that to be updated, I assume those will be covered but I want to first understand what is happening here and how can I get all the functionality those lights offer actually working in real life.

@LarsB , could we perhaps connect on the phone? I am in Copenhagen so please feel free to drop me your phone number in a PM and would love to exchange notes on this topic with you.
