What’s up guys. I recently just bought this 2015 c63s in Georgia (usa) I live in NYC I did everything over the phone didn’t even go test out the car or nothing took a chance. Car finally gets here everything is good but I realized the car is missing buttons & the main button I want is the traction off button. I can’t turn it off from the speedometer either unless it’s on dyno mode. Is there another way I can turn it off with our dyno mode ? Car is also fully loaded with every feature so I’m so confused please help
That doesn't even remotely look correct. You are also missing the transmission manual mode button, and the suspension button and not sure what that ON button is supposed to be, but that's where the exhaust button should be. The drive mode selector also should be labeled DYNAMIC. Agility mode is an old term. You can configure ESP in the Individual mode, but you can only set it to Sport. You can't turn it off completely w/o the missing button. Somebody messed with this car if it really is a C63.
So after googling a bit, that's the center console control unit for a C300 that you have there, and not a C63. This was either incorrectly replaced, or somebody sold you a C300 with a C63 badge and you are missing 4 cylinders .
lol no it’s real I ran the vin lol maybe they put the wrong center console

You have to find one that matches your VIN, because some buttons are optional depending on the equipment. For example the exhaust button is only there if the car has the performance exhaust, and there's an additional button for the 360 camera/parking assist if the car is equipped with it. Although, I don't quite remember if the 2015-2018 models had it there. I have it in my 2019 with the parking assist package.

In my 2017, the seat belt valet button is where your parking camera button is. My parking camera button is to the left of the steering wheel where the HUD button is also located.
That's definitely not the correct center console for a C63 and I can't help but feel this guy is an internet troll as it's pretty obvious.

I thought maybe a troll too but I do see he has red stitching on his leather so probably has some kind of AMG C.
I guess the price was too good, so he bought sight unseen (in person). I would question other things about the car if the center console is incorrect.
Guess you get what you pay for.
Do your console switches work? I would think there would be error messages on the dash with so many functions not connected. If you want to provide the VIN to me I can through it into NetStar and tell you if you are supposed to have the active exhaust button or not.
Yes the switches work I can change the modes , the “on” button is turn off and on the screen vin : 55SWF8HB5FU076089 thank you

Thanks. Yeah, I thought they moved some of the buttons around in the FL.
Yeah you’re right I had a w204 from Virginia never went to look at it just took a chance and everything was good I was hoping I’ll get the same luck with this one , I guess not it’s still a great car but that’s the only thing that missing smh and yes it’s a real Amg lol

You look under the vehicle to see if you have the performance exhaust or not but I see you have DISTRONIC according to your picture you posted, I thought DISTRONIC requires the parking camera before it is allowed to be optioned , at least that is how it works in Canada.

You actually do have the Parktronic Parking Package on your car. You also do have the AMG Perfomance Exhaust System but obviously no button. If the Dynamic Select switch is working, it should be opening the valves for you in Sport+ and Race mode but I can't say for sure based on what kind of mess that wiring could be under there. Someone really messed up your center console, it looks like Black Ash in your photo but you should have AMG Carbon Fiber trim there instead based on the VIN.

Yeah the valves do open on race mode or when I put it on my individual mode and no carbon fiber smh looks like one of the previous owners swapped it who knows I’m going to buy that center Console and hopefully everything is good from there . From the looks of it it looks plug and play
