10 Degree rear Wheel Steering?
Hi folks. I will soon be taking delivery of a 2024EQ SUV 350 that I ordered. It's coming with rear wheel steering which I understand is 5°. I have heard that some Mercedes can upgrade their rear steering to 10° by paying a subscription through Mercedes Me similar to how one can purchase increased acceleration functions. Does anyone know if this steering upgrade is possible on this model? Thank you.

I'm the US market, usually all the racks are 10°. Your car may be restricted by wheel size. I think wheels 21" and larger reduce the steering angle. Might be software unlockable if you go with smaller wheels, but I'm not sure.

Mercedes' marketing of options across models and markets can defy human comprehension.
I believe I have seen that AMG models can get only 4.5 degrees -- but yours is not an AMG.
The one thing I can say is that if you find a way to get the full 10 degrees, even if for fairly significant extra cost, I highly recommend you do so. It makes each and every parking event sooooo much simpler, faster and safer. Also very helpful for U-turns.

I have a vague recollection of reading something similar a couple years ago (will come with 5, subscription for 10) but I think there was so much negative feedback they changed their mind.
