The MY 2019 is already for sale at dealers, but you cannot build one on MBUSA because they have not updated the website, seems kind of foolish to me? And your dealer is of no help, WOW?

1. Here are a few pics of the black multi spoke wheels. The lighting makes them look a little faded, but they are a solid black color.

2. DINAMICA has the suede feeling material on the outside and Nappa is all leather. I'd recommend feeling them both at the dealership to see which one you like better.

3. Android Auto or Apple Carplay! Standard features that will cost you $0 and the maps look pretty good. SD card pre-wiring might be a good option to just throw on, but I definitely wouldn't go with the command system. I think the only advantage for the command system is that it can display on the digital dash system, where android/apple will just display on the middle screen.

4. I really like the adaptive lighting, but I haven't seen the standard lights in person. From the pictures online I prefer the look of the adaptive ones and the automatic high beams are pretty awesome. I thought the same thing about the 3 different lighting packages, but I've only been able to find the 2 (standard and adaptive). The 319 code is the same as the ones I have.

Does normal steering wheel has Red point in the middle or only exact on Dymica steering wheel?

I am still struggle what is difference between Pre-wired and Command system. I think there are 3 options.
1. Stock display, no Navi or Navi?
2. Pre wired, using as card for Navi? Third party Garmin?
3. Multimedia Package? Command system Navi? Benz Navi?

I will go with black wheel and light package for safety.
Thank you.

It only comes when you order black leather with red stitching.

 Red stitching and red 12 o’clock marker only come on C43, and only when upholsteries 641 or 241 are selected

Easy fix here. Call the dealership, ask for the new car sales manager and tell him you are ordering a C43. Make him aware that your current salesperson is it helping with the order process. Guarantee the sales manager will get you with a new salesperson that knows what they are doing.

As someone said you need another salesperson or dealer, they can go to the MB site and pull up every detail and what is required to get something. You can see pics and descriptions of every detail. This is important because there are conflicts. The red line on the steering wheel is only avail with red stitched interior or red leather. The 319 lights are fantastic. Don't forget the AMG performance exhaust. As for Nav, get the SD prewire and don't forget to get the dealer to include or throw in the $650 MB SD card that is required. This is just as good as the regular nav but way cheaper, it updates and includes live traffic. The digital dash is a must in my opinion.. Can't remember all your other questions, find a new salesperson or dealer.

Another member also mentioned about Standard infotainment has basic Navigation as $0, right? So the benefit of Pre-wired SD card navigation will have a free update for the lifetime or not? Thank you.

Simple answer. My wife doesn't like the digital cluster. Most of the time she looks at head up display. Also, the 10-inch multimedia console is good enough for looking information.
Also must have new ambient lights.

Then it sounds like you could have picked up a Late 2018 model and saved yourself a few thousand....

We already test 18 model last year summer and 19 model this month.
That is not true.
Red exterior and black interior and matted black trim.
black wheel. Multiple ambient lights. Normal seat. There is no way to find this combination especially 18 has only three ambient colors.

Answer to the Nav question, if you don't do the Multimedia with the Nav or you don't do the Pre-Wire and MB SD card Nav then you have no Nav, pretty simple.

1. MB Entry Navigation $625
2. Pre-installation for SD-card navigation $200.
3. COMAND navigation $2300 comes with other things.

So number 1 and 2 should be combined?

Other than Carplay or Android Auto mobile navigation.

If your wife doesn't want to plug in her phone each time, get the SD Card Nav. The point of getting the SD Card Pre-wire is future proofing for resale or if you don't want to plug in your phone all the time. Think of it as getting your house pre-wired for network but only using wifi.

The Command Nav is going to have more capabilities, like sending an address from your MB Me Connect App, weather, compass, etc. I am not sure if those are on the Pre-wire since I went with no nav and just use carplay.
