I actually like the illuminated star. Unfortunately, if you are interested in distronic, etc. (which ever package that is), the star is different, and the illuminated star option is not available.

I installed an after market illuminated star in a previous Mercedes I owned. I put a switch on it to manually control the light. 80% of the time it was off. On certain occasions, however, it was kind of cool.

Personally, I like the star and plan to get it. I really couldn't care less for Distronic. It's more of a distraction for me when I drive. I prefer my good old standard cruise control.

I never order cars with the illuminated star... I work for MB and even I think it's a bit much lol

In my opinion only an idiot would buy a car of this value without autonomous accident prevention features.

No, needs to be basically unplugged. Not a setting

Every single E class since 2017 (even before, maybe 16) have forward radar with autonomous braking...standard... brake assist plus (formerly known as collision prevention assist plus). Had in 2015 GLA, , 16 cla, 15 C classes (not coupes), S class, GLE, GLS, ... etc... dont believe the G wagon has maybe not the GT's either

its built into the bumper...always on... works over 12mph(?) up to 87mph (higher now I think)...I always have to explain to people that it is not parking sensors (sonar).

Something is behind the new style star. I was told it was for distronic and the front view camera. Otherwise, why the change to the new star since I think they look sort of funky (but I have to have the new electronics! )

On the premium package for the e63 (or premium package three for the e300...also called driver assist package on other models) the star on the front is filled in and has a radar behind it for the adaptive cruise control (distronic).. Which only works when cruise is on... Otherwise it's the normal Mercedes star and can have the Illuminated led lights in it for $550. Brake assist plus or CPA+ is standard across most of the range

The cars with premium 3 or driver assist (or amg premium package on an e63) also have separate sonar on the side of the front bumper for cross traffic assist/pedestrian and cyclist detection with autonomous braking... Plus all the other stuff like rear collision mitigation, side impulse... Pink noise is standard on e classes
