Manufacturing /delivery delays
Perhaps it is time to make a big noise about that. Nationwide petition of some sort, legal action? What go you think?
I waited 18 months for the car. I am driving my MB for 7 moths or so. My maps are dated 2019, Android Auto seems to be buggy. Without the module, I can't get any updates and I wouldn't be so sure if the missing module could not pose safety risk. I have no idea how many cars MB shipped without the module, but it seems to me that MB cares about pushing sales numbers higher at expense of convenience and comfort, perhaps even safety of their existing customers.

I didn't even know that the car came without it. Dealership informed me earlier that the augmented vision requires Hermes module to work. After two visits to the dealership, the missing camera hardware was ordered. There is no estimated delivery date.
It is quite frustrating to realize that MB choose to install components scheduled for my car in somebody else's S class. The current AMG GLC 63s Coupe is my only second Mercedes after 1957 190SL and most likely the last one.
Augmented Video now work perfectly and I have to admit it is a really nice feature. One of those things you didn't think you'd care about but really liked it after having it.
As far as the Hermes chip, it is a major bone of contention that even the receptionists' are aware of. They are trickling in but not enough to send out a service campaign bulletin.
I'm told they won't send out unless the quantity of parts needed are withing certain limitations.
Any guess is as good as another.

I'm trying my best to be patient but it's really hard. I'm watching the same youtube videos (love the performance exhaust sound) and keep looking at pics, haha!
