Logo projector gone?

I've had my 2024 e450 for the past few months, love everything about it. I recently noticed that when I open my door, the mercedes logo projector is gone. Does this feature go away after a few months? I didnt pay extra for the animated star design, but the mercedes logo used to appear, and now nothing at all.

It shouldn't be a subscription item. Does the passenger door projection still work?

Did the bulb simply blow? Short somewhere? Check the door where the light comes from (both doors) and see if that's it. Good luck.

I'm going to have to double check, i think there is still a light that projects, it's just not the Mercedes-Benz logo anymore, rather it's just a light.

Is the function ambient light dependent?

My DS went out. Super cheap part, 2min (or less) install.

On a separate question. My automatic parking didnt work today, I think it was because of the snow storm. Has anyone else encountered this?

I mis-spoke - sorry for the confusion. Is it dependent on daylight? Maybe dusk or darker for it to be activated? On a bright sunny day, maybe it's not activated or hard to see?

Did you change the settings by any chance? I think the logo projection is tied to the headlights turning on when you unlock your car. At least it is on my GLE.

This happened to me too. It turned off by itself. To turn it back on go to Settings, Light, then Interior/Exterior Lighting, and turn on locator light.

the picture he put above the projector for the ground were simply from amazon. There's quite as separate between mirror mounted and lower door mount as well as what they display between Mercedes-Benz, AMG, simple logos and on and on and on

Correct, sir. My 2020 W213 E450 has the door lights (as above) but my 2022 W206 C300 has the logo projection from the side mirrors, factory installed.
