Hi guys,
new 2019 s63 coupe. phenomenal car...upgraded from a 2015 s63 coupe.
my question...is there a way to save the car settings.
I like the automatic stall (at red lights) off and I like the exhaust setting that is louder. But every time I start the car, these setting are not how I like them.
Is there a way to save my settings that I like so I don't have to turn off the automatic stall and turn on the louder exhaust setting?
Thanks

some setting go back to normal, no matter what. I tried to set my SL to perf suspension, sport shift, amg on and leave it there. But every time you shut down, it goes back t normal. Thats pre determined by MB for their own logic. I asked MB if theres any way I could change it, they said no. It can be changed within the computer software, but you cant do it
If you buy a video in motion modification, it WILL disable the eco start, because that has effect on the video disable when you shift to drive. Theres other features that can be altered but you have to get into the programming

@themolarking I'm also thinking about the upgrading from my 2015 S63 Coupe to a 2018/2019/2020. Worth it in your opinion ?

I like the exterior updates, new COMAND, higher res screens, etc but obviously there is a very steep price for upgrading. I wasn't thrilled about losing displacement but everyone seems to love the 4L and sure sounds great from the videos I have watched.

Maybe most importantly, how is the 9sp MCT compared to the 7sp ?

only if you get the 4L engine, with 9sp, and the pano grille , and of course its better, its all better. Is it worth thousands of $ over current car. your decision

Test drove a facelifted S63 (A217) last week and the new engine and 9-MCT transmission are the key differentiators imho and THE reasons to upgrade! Much more responsive on the gas, more direct gear shfts, less lagging, less/no turbo lag anymore, etc The car feels more agile/lighter, faster and more responsive in a way. And as a bonus the Sport+ mode, where you get really AMG exhaust sound (much more than in the pre-facelifted model).

The new wind deflector behind the front seats is also worth its money: this one really works! (despite the eletrical one behind the rear seats).

The new COMAND (5.5 instead of 5.2) has some more features, but I was not impressed (to say the least.........). It is much slower then the old (5.2) sytem, eg. when changing between Radio, Media, Nav and Telephone. The navigation itself is also slower, no more 3D buildings in cities, not possible to have 3 alternative routes as default (only possible after route has been planned via too many menu steps), etc. Highway info (Exits, Parkings, Petrol, etc) not on the main screen anymore but hidden? And where in COMAND 5.2 it is possible to read emails from your phone (via bluetooth MAP), in the new 5.5 only SMS is possible (they removed the email feature), etc etc

And it seems not possible anymore to use bluetooth or wifi tethering with you smartphone to be able to use some ME Connect features (like POI download, TuneIN, and other MB Apps (so you are obliged to use MB dataplan for these features..........? Maybe jbattan can confirm or hopefully decline this is really true???).

So the COMAND 5.5 does not seem to be a real upgrade imho.........

Smaller thing I noticed: you can not adjust the passenger seats anymore from the drivers door (or did they move this button elsewhere jbattan? now this button moves the rear headrests up/down).
