Does anyone have any info on the Magic Sky Control on the 2015 S?

I am trying to figure out whether the roof can still be opened and if there is a sliding cover as it is now.

I am led to believe that the sliding cover is not part of Magic Sky Control. The glass is dark enough to not need it.

I like the sliding cover but would make sense if the roof is dark enough. I still hope they keep the sliding cover.

FYI - the very latest S63/S65 Dealer Ordering Guide published just 2 days ago states:

MAGIC SKY CONTROL no longer available for MY15

Can you please upload a copy of the dealer order guide?

Jason B

Wait, no longer available? It was never avail yet, was it?. It was something that they were adding to the S class. Hmm.

Last week, dealer said that it will be available for MY15 S class, but not until September production.

Terminator2029

That is correct - it was initially communicated as "available from September 2014", until 3 days ago when the new DOG invalidated the original statement.

This option has also disappeared from list of optional equipment in NetStar. I saw this myself as I was building my S in the system (yes, the dealer allowed me to take control of his computer and essentially build my own car and submit the order to MB - it was a fascinating experience!)

So, it was never available, and continues to be unavailable for all year S's. Correct?

I guess this is where they say, "never believe your salesman" in some instances, or Mercedes own website for that matter.

Let's just say "there are some unforeseen challenges". Can be technical, can be logistical, can be anything else. The true story is unknown to us, consumers.

A similar situation currently surrounds another optional item called AMG Performance Steering Wheel (code 281). It was initially marked as "available as extra cost" for S63, and "undecided if extra or no-cost" for S65. Later on, it was removed from the list of options and noted as "not available". God knows what happened.

They probably got a little too excited, then thought, "Hey, let's wait 3-4 years and offer this for the refresh".

I'm willing to bet they also do the AMG sport package like the previous models were done:

Link to the older (and seemingly outdated) MY2015 DOG since this one indicates September availability for Magic Sky Control:

Shamelessly ripped from another commenter.

It's true. Latest DOG shows no magic sky control for MY15.

Magic sky gets the manual screen as well as the magic function on the s class coupe according to the MB UK press release about this model. Realise this may be academic for you now given other comments about its current availability on the saloon. As a former F10 M5 owner myself I can understand your desire for a swap into something smoother. Hope your order moves fast.

Wolfman

Interesting. I have the Magic sky in our SL without any screen. I love the option and will get it on future cars but it's important to say that it will not turn dark enough to let no light in. More like a very dark blue.

sam9187

I would have gotten the magic sky control if there was a screen. I like it to be completely dark when I want to. Doesn't matter as it's not available on MY15 anyway.
