what pricing did you get on the full matte PPF? My dealer has a similar PPF, but the call it “frost”. I’m thinking I’ll get the PPF as soon as it touches down at the dealer

It won't have wireless. The 2023 GT 4-door doesn't use the updated MBUX yet. Maybe 2024 will.

I got a bundled deal for it with the tint and full leather & plastic interior coating for $7k. I believe it broke down to $5,800 for the PPF with an extra ceramic coating on everything, $700 for the Ceramic IR tint including windshield and $500 for the full interior.

Hm, it still says two-tone. I went on the Ireland configurator and it shows the full red on the 53 and 63 S. Not sure what to make of this!

I see, thanks for the update.

No clue, I saw that on my build sheet too so I figured it didn't get approved or noted. Nevertheless, I was extremely happy when it came the way I hoped for.

Is there any reason why the gt63 isn’t in the us configurator?

Eaton

The website is always behind. It should appear any day now though since cars are being delivered.

Get the Carlinkit adapter.....I bought it off Amazon for like $110 and it's actually been really awesome in terms of enabling CarPlay. We have BMW's, too, and the wireless carplay is awesome in those cars......but the Carlinkit adapter will put you about 95% of the way there on MBUX. It automatically starts initializing and working every time you start the car. Takes maybe 30 seconds to load up when you start the car. No real lag versus wired, either....

I just wish Carplay was full screen on MBUX.

It seems my car was finally loaded on a ship today, but adding to the weirdness of my experience… it’s not on a WW ship, looks like it’s on a K line ship and I haven’t found a way to track it. Anyway it’s scheduled to arrive in Long Beach on April 17th

Great to see movement on your car! Mine was also not a WW ship - it was the Poseidon Leader. Who knows... maybe both of ours get delivered to the dealer at the same time...

Dicecal

Well since your car has already been at the VPC for a month, hopefully it show up soon at the dealership. Yeah my car is on the Virgo Leader, NYK line shipping.

us_cali

Mine hasn't moved still so all delivery dates are possible...

I will def look it up, is this like the magic box?

Looks like we also have a forum sponsor that sells similar functioning module under a different brand, not sure if you want to try that as well.

Regarding the steering wheel @kavas8 it seems the change was made for the latest production run: https://mbpassion.de/2022/10/gt-4-tu...ungsjahr-22-2/

Changes to the MANUFAKTUR steering wheel in nappa leather
The MANUFAKUR steering wheel in nappa leather will in future be offered in a uniform color, ie the actual steering wheel does not have any different leather covering in the upper area (previously: black).

Hey everybody, long time reader first time comment, please let me know if there is a better thread for this question:

I am trying to do some detailed research on the entire MY 23 Mercedes product line. I am trying to find OEM order guides for essentially every model they are selling in the U.S. this year. Does anybody know how I can find these pdf documents? the 2 local MB dealers have been no help at all and Mercedes doesn't appear to put these things online. I found 1 here on this forum, example attached, if anybody else could help me find all the other ones or point me to a website that has them- I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

EDIT: looking for 2024 model order guides as well, all of them that are available

AMGstar305

My 23 63 is set to arrive in Baltimore tomorrow. Here’s to a speedy VPC>Dealer ride 🤞🏽

Eaton

I've uploaded the Canadian version. Isn't it interesting how Canada gives you many more colors and options? MBUSA slacked off for MY23!

W205C43PFL

Didn't notice that but then all other cars in MB's lineup gets the same colour options in both markets I think?

Eaton

Yes, that is usually the case. Not sure what happened here. Everything will probably sync up for MY24.

W205C43PFL

I think I know why but just guessing really, Canada is way smaller market and due to maybe possible "paint shortage" or special process to create the dye? I don't know... there may be too much demand in the States for MB to handle which is not an issue due to low demand in Canada. Ya just a random thought of mine.

MBfusions

Hi Eaton,

thanks for all the model order guide posts, any chance you've got all of those pdf's in one location? I am researching the entire model lineup and like to read through them but MB doesn't even publish them so they are difficult to find. I'd like to read through all of them to be honest, but especially interested in all of the AMG order guides, for the entire lineup. Any ideas where I could find all of those?

Eaton

If you click my profile you can view my threads and you can see a list of all order guide threads I have posted. If there is something missing that you are looking for, let me know.
Another source of information you might find useful is the MBUSA Quick Reference Guides.

Always appreciate your contribution on these ordering guides, thank you.
