Did you go from W222 w/3D to W223 w/4D?
I absolutely LOVE the 3D Audio system in my 2020 S560. It is the first time I ever popped big bucks for a factory system. It was our old friend Katie22 who used to rave about it that made me take the plunge and I’m so glad I did. So, I’m wondering if the 4D systems in the W223 are as good, better or did MB manage to mess it up—as has been known to happen, just talk to new GLE and 2013-2020 SL owners. Did you have 3D and now 4D? If so, how do you like the 4D?

The audio is fantastic!! I didn’t have the 3D in my prior S but I do have a very expensive audio system in my home for comparison.
I didn’t like the seat ‘bump’ at first either. Now, I enjoy it but at level 4. It would be something you have to get used to. My wife also insisted it be turned off, and female friends also. All the guys like it!!!! Some at level 8 to 10!

As someone who listens mostly to classical and jazz, I don’t crank up the volume like some folks who listen to rock. The 4D is great, but having no use for the “seat bump,” which I have turned off, the 4D doesn’t seem to give me any benefit over the 3D. Both systems are fantastic, in my opinion. As for the screw out tweeters, with the Active Ambient Lighting, with blues in the dash & door panels and red in the tweeters, it is a bit of a light show as well. My wife likes to fool with the lighting.
