is it possible? like the sedan , if possible will it be expensive to do?

mistert2

The option is not available thru MBUSA, but I heard it is offered in other markets (Australia for example). I have not seen a thread on retrofitting to an E coupe.

DanielDuc

thats one feature i wish MB did for the coupe..looks so nice in the sedan.

flizzardo

yup same here.... thats why i wonder if there is any way that i can install ambient lighting in the coupe? anyone have any idea

Kirkster

Ambient lighting is standard on the 2014 coupe.

flizzardo

omg why is the facelifted coupe so much more awesome...

possible to install in pre facelift version?

DanielDuc

Could any 2014 owners take a night pic of it? curious to see how they put the leds.

Is this what you guys are talking about? If it is, it's not available in the coupe, at least not in the US model. Even though the manual said it's there with 3 different color options, I couldn't find it in my '14 coupe when scrolling through the menu on the dashboard. Not an available option when configuring either, damn MBUSA Looks lovely on the Sedan...

Kirkster

It even says so in the E-class coupe brochure for the US. That's kind of a major typo.

i thught maybe I was crazy, so i went back and looked and here it is;

Forward in every direction.
Look into an E‑Class Coupe or Cabriolet — or out o f one — and you’ll 
see the uniquely rewarding result of thinking ahea d. Its redesigned 
cabin presents luxuries that might seem unimaginab ly advanced, yet 
they feel familiar — and even essential — in no ti me. The Coupe’s four 
power windows and Panorama roof make it seem like  you can touch 
the horizon. The Cabriolet’s wind‑taming innovatio ns let you gently 
touch the sky. And by day or night, hand‑finished  wood trim and new 
multicolor ambient lighting reward you with their luminance. With

Did you get the full package 2? If so, its weird for you not to have it..looks gorgeous with the lights.

I have 5% tint and it get quite dark sometimes..with ambient it would of help a bit =)

You're right, pg.8 of the brochure said "And by day or night, hand-finished wood trim and new multicolor ambient lighting reward you with their luminance." But if you go to MBUSA and looks under 'Comfort & Convenience' for the Sedan, 'multicolor ambient lighting' is listed as a standard feature. It's not there for the Coupe.

I'm sure it's not in my car, I've checked a few times because the owner manual said it's there. Unlike the power-folding mirror where there's a disclaimer saying it's for Canadian model only, the ambient lighting section has no disclaimer. I'll call my salesman to see, cause that'll be pretty mess up if they somehow missed on my car...

Kirkster

What was the production date of your car? There were a number of items that were unavaiable on the E coupe on the first couple of runs.
On a side note, I just got word my coupl is being built next month. Things must be slow in Germany because I'm not scheduled to pick my car up until late March '14.

i'm just not letting this go. There is a difference in wordling between the coupe and sedan as it refers to ambient lighting. The sedan has fiber optic interior lighting and the coupe does not. I suspect the coupe just has the footwells lit up and maybe some other interior lights.

Kirkster

I had my dealer check this ambien light thing out and I sadly report that the coupe does not have it despite saying it did in the owners manuals and 2014 Coupe brochure.

Kirkster

Okay...I emailed Mercedes Customer Relations about this and they are telling me that the 2014 E coupe and cabriolet does have ambient lighting as a standard feature. WTF?

DanielDuc

If i was you, I would go to dealer to see other models to see and complain lol

Kirkster

Here is the reply I got back from MB USA

Thank you for your email to Mercedes-Benz USA.

The 2014 E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet vehicles are equipped with ambient lighting as a standard feature. This is an enhancement which doesn't have a setting that can be changed in the instrument cluster.

We appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Sincerely,

Someone else has to have a new coupe who can weigh in on this ambient light thing.

I just ordered a 2014 E coupe. coming out of a 2011 E sedan. first thing I noticed no ambient lighting available. also the E coupe brochure showes pictures of the center console with two doors covering the ash tray and the cup holders. This is not accurate either. the cup holders are exposed all the time. Very disappointed in that looks cheep. They never even noticed at the dealer and have no answer for the reason. Also only available with smoke gray wheels with the sport package.

Kirkster

I looked at an E coupe at the dealer and the cup holders were covered.

hotrodimpy

Kirkster Where is the dealer you are talking about. I would like to contact them and find out if there is a order code number for this. Thank you Impy

Kirkster

Sears Imports in Minnetonka, MN. I have looked at a couple of them and they both had folding doors covering the center console cupholders. I don't think its an option. i'm still trying to figure out the ambient light thing. When I get to germany to pick up my car I'm going to ask about it.

Kirkster thank you for looking. I contacted that dealer today. The sales lady I got told me she had two Coupes on the lot. she went out and looked. She was not awhere of this issue. She went out and looked and told me both had exposed cup holders. so I was unable to get any info or code on this. Thanks Impy

Kirkster

Hey...i actually misspoke on this. The USA ones do have the cup holders exposed. i was thinking you meant the main console. I went on cars.com and looked at the interior photos for the 2014 coupes and the all have the cup holders exposed. Sorry for the misinformation.
Personally, i would rather have them exposed anyway. I'm always using mine.
