c43 2019 facelift
Digital dashboard

Hello everyone,
I am considering to install the digital dashboard for my 2019 c43fl and would like to hear your comments. Well noted on those cool digital displays but the red-pointer on the traditional meter is my all-time favourite for every trip! Struggling lol!!

Not sure if anyone has the same thought, thank you.

Regards,
small

Are you talking about the color of the needle? Not sure how a red needle is exciting, maybe because many of my previous cars had red needles as well. It's still red with the digital instrument cluster. I love the digital instrument cluster in my C63S. It's honestly one of the best additions to the FLs, IMO. I'm particularly in love with the Supersport layout. I don't need a speedometer. It's the biggest waste of space, IMO. The Supersport layout puts everything I really care about front a center. The revs, the current gear and quick to read digital speed indicator and then I can have other useful information to the left or right depending on the situation. When shifting manually, the shift lights are also awesome. The entire cluster starts lighting up red and when it's time to shift it flashes. Very easy to see in my peripheral vision.

Is this just a plug & play swap for facelift cars? I would imagine there'd be loads of programming to get everything up and running properly.
