W206, Digital light, no projection?

Hi,

i own w206 c class (german edition) with digital light (PAX).

PAX includes every option (projection when you unlock car, projection on the road and etc.).

However, even though there is menu for "Projection when opening/closing", there are no animation menu and there is no projection when i unlock car.

Why it does not work? Is it prohibited in germany?

thanks.

Hi, I also thought this was available on my c300e estate (UK) but I think its a prohibition in the UK Law.
Not sure about Germany.

I saw the showcase video and it was nice feature but I also thought this was going to be a distraction to the drive or possibly on coming drivers.
Would be good to hear other thoughts.

MB makes all the big noises about the projection. In actual fact they dont activate it in most countries. So you pay the money BUT dont get the activation. In Aus, they BS about gov not allowing it.

well,

i paid someone to activate it and now they all work.
I especially chose pax package for digital light and it is very stupid that it was not activated.

Thanks all.

Was this a coder locally or someone in the world who did this for you?

I got my 2022 coded by @benz_car_coding on IG with no issues. Just did it again on my 2023 highly recommd Simone if you’re interested

He can activate all digital light functions regardless of regional restriction and more

I have a 2023 / 73 (UK) prem+ that does have projection and welcome / leaving animations.

Car has triggered the "crash" symbol on the road when too close to the car in front and the odd triangle shape of I cross a line without signalling. It hasn't yet detected roadworks or someone in the road.

To be honest the symbols are not that bright and don't really add anything.

I do find the digital light superior to the multibeam lights on my previous A-class though and have yet to be flashed by passing cars.

Just a pity I don't have ambient lighting in the air vents, but that's a separate discussion!

Some newer UK spec W206 has option 891: Premium Ambient Light, but no 894, Premium Plus Ambient Light. But it can be retrofitted, we just ordered one retrofit kit, wait for the delivery.
differences are:
5 x AV Vents
Center Console \ / shape, dashboard driver side and small panel
4 x Door handles

Do you know if it's possible to install the rear ambient lighting vents on the back of the centre console using original manufacturer parts? I'm assuming I would have to use an aftermarket loom for it

Only V206 (China Made C class) long wheel base C class has this option, you may try your luck to order two rear vents see if it fit your W206 or not. If no, buy Replica vents. We suggest all our customer dont install replica vents with lights, reason is the feeling of rotate it is different, not that smooth.
