Just a little feedback on the MBUX navigation: maps are outdated, and even with the latest update they are 2 years behind.
The routing is odd, inconsistent, and often gets you to the rear of the building you are trying to get to.
The navigation direction is often missing street names / numbers, and exit numbers off major highways.
I paid for the AR and after using it 4-5 times had resorted to Google Maps via Apple CarPlay.

It auto adjusts brightness and has worked in every lighting condition I've dealt with, from bright Aussie sun to glare to overcast. Just make sure your sunglasses aren't polarised.

The only time I've ever had a problem seeing my HUD was once when the sun shone directly down into the unit. Because the display uses LCDs, if it gets too hot it can exceed the clearing temperature of the liquid crystal and it won't function as an LC until it cools down again. The direct sun down the HUD "chute" was enough to temporarily blank out the display. Once I changed directions and it cooled down, it came back with no problem.

I do not have the augmented reality, it's not available in Oz, but I agree with the other points about the often haphazard navigation in the 2020 GLC. That said, the HUD directional arrows are fantastic if you *are* using the navigation and because it's in front of your eyes rather than off on a different screen I find it really useful anyway (enough that Android Auto isn't as nice) and don't miss having AR when I have the HUD.

If you are just thinking of upgrading to get the better nav, it’s better but still not as good as Google map/waze. But if you’re looking for tech as a hole, the entire system is leaps and bounds ahead of the old COMAND. Digital instruments, augmented reality, interior assistant, upgraded drivers assists, and the generally way better menu structure and graphics. Worth it imo.

Hi, in my case (Germany) I had to get multimedia high + virtual dashboard, but these are sometimes not technical constraints but local commercial decisions. Best is to simulate the configuration in your country MB site.
