Hi All,

Have any of you got the heads-up display?
I can not find how to change to the AMG via with the shift lights etc.
All I can get is the standard with sat-nav and another with rpm bar and gear number etc. When I press the heads-up button, it cycles between the two and off.
How do I get the shift points etc?

It doesn't say what C63 you have so this is only 2015/16 C63S with the flat HUD bar as I think the 2017 changed.

they will come up automatically when you go to manual.

This is correct.

The new 2017 doesn't have it... my 2015 did!

Sanch, the shift indicator comes up for me once I'm in manual mode with the AMG display on (both temporary and button activated manual mode)

Hi,


mine is a 2015, June 2015 registration date.


So your saying have AMG screen on dash (Shows boost, Oil temp, Transmission temp?). Have heads-up with flat bar then select manual mode?

No need for the AMG menu in the dash screen, I was referring to heads up mode with the rpm bar but yeah, change to manual and the shift indicator should appear

Will try it again tonight. I am sure I tried it and no sign of shift lights unless they appear as the revs build?

You're right on the ball. While the shift indicator will definitely appear, the shift lights only start to appear as you get closer to the redline.

+1
Also as you said the 2 screens with the RPM/gear/MPH are AMG specific screens and you have to use them and manual to get the bars/lights.
