What is everyone's opinion of the revised entertainment stack buttons for 2016 models? I think it looks really cheap, like it should belong on a B class. 2015 model year ones were way nicer and premium looking.
I have to agree with you, while I like the use of the lower climate controls, the CD area does look lame, I used to not like the temp tabs, but got used to them, the dials in my cls are nice to use; easy
I am in agreement for a preference for the pre 16 head unit controls with the raised buttons and knob surround. The whole thing is dated, of course, and will benefit from the new update coming.

While its hard to really get a real feeling without seing it in person, from that picture it make me like my 2014 better... not a fan of the new look... seems out of place...
Sorry not sure I agree. I have a 2016 E63 wagon and really like the interior design (including the entertainment stack). I did not really look at the previous design so I am not bothered that the buttons are more flattened than the previous design.
I don't know, I think it gives more of cold feeling with the new ones, I like the look of my older controls better in my 2012. Just more of traditional feeling. Not that that the 2016's are bad, infact the high end Arcam home receivers look kinda like that, but just not a fan of that look.
Does it come with ntg 5.0? If so, 2016 is better. NTG 4.5 sucks.
Yes, these flat buttons found on the MY2016 cars have NTG5. The only noticeable difference, software wise that I know of, is that we finally have speed limit assist in the US.
Just FYI I got the official lightening cable attachment for the center console ... It's out now on eBay for $58 and it's genuine mb
Good news and worth a seperate post/thread, IMO, Peter. I thnk quite a few E owners would find interest in this, and its functionality. I'll be waiting to see what cable comes with my 2016, if any.

16 uses two USB plugs so there's no more proprietary MB plug.
My 2016 E63 wagon has two USB plugs in the centre bin so you can use your own cables (no cables supplied by MB). Much better for connecting IPod and phone.

Hopefully, in about a month, I'll be getting my 16. Until then, can one of you kind gentlemen who own a 16 tell me if you can share your mobile phone wifi with the command system, or does it only share the in car hotspot with devices in the car?
