Was this retrofit for the 2023 GLC or the 2024 GLC?

and does it matter if it’s the regular or coupe?

And how would someone in the US get this done? Would you guys sell the parts?

2023 or 2024 shares same parts and wiring and coding.
The reason why people differentiate 2023 or 2024, it is because they are installing non-Original AC Vents because the tapping point at footwell has different connector. But if you install original kit like I post, 2023 or 2024 are same, as we strictly follow original wiring, no need tap wire on footwell.

COUPE or SUV shares same parts and wiring and coding.

C class or GLC use different hardware, size or shape slightly different.

What about for the 2024 GLC?

how would we purchase? Especially if it’s not able to be ordered as an add on at this time from the factory? So how would they sell us a part we can’t order?

I’m having the same issue. I’m extremely disappointed of paying so much for the pinnacle trim of the 2024 GLC and to not have the enhanced ambient lighting is a huge bummer. Thinking about cancelling factory order.

Most of the new car owner won’t even know it is missing. Mercedes has these parts for AMG models like C63, GLC63 etc. And one more thing: the cost of these parts is quite high, so very few people will really buy the original parts and retrofit it, some car owner will go for replica.

usually original parts need coding after hardware are installed.

you saw the video you got one extra Effect and one extra zone control in the ambient light settings? That is result of coding.
