My original PO specified code 543 as Dual Sun Visors. The factory production order, however, states 543 Sun Visor with additional function. I also specified the Acoustic package. Did this prevent the dual visors from being installed? Did anyone receive the dual visors in their build? BTW, code 543 is part of the standard equipment in the E63S.

My loaded (including acoustic package) 2021 E63S wagon doesn't have dual sun visors. Our basic 2014 e350 wagon does.

My 2019 E63s wagon has dual sun visors and acoustic pkg.

I have the sun visors (hate them because they rattle) and the acoustic pack

ocdbroker

My guess is they went the way of the cool IWC clock. Some nerd in front of an excel spreadsheet making the decisions.

I HATE the way MB de-contents when they facelift. They also took out the passenger seat controls from the driver side. I use that feature often, as well as the dual visors.

What's the blank here in the back

I Have every option. Lol

ocdbroker

Is this the rear seat entertainment prep option? Anyone install the screens? Plug and play? How do they work? Not sure if better than just a couple iPads. Or do they just accept iPads?

ocdbroker

This seems like a useless option. I prefer the smell of leather over cheap perfume. Opened this up and it's absolutely disgusting. Makes me want to vomit!

Other than making cabin smell of cheap perfume, does this serve any other purpose? Maybe there are some cool neutral scents for when the car is very old?

Is the strip on top of the handle area not leather? Please tell me it's not MB-TEX

ocdbroker

Beautiful leather atop the doors. However, there's plenty of cheap looking plastic like lower doors, lower dash and sides of dash. Ugh

Asking about the blank buttons above.

HBerman

Looks just like a repurposed control from the front doors.

HBerman

There are two accessories that fit. One is a coat hanger and the other is a platform that plugs into the connector. I've no personal experience with either.

ocdbroker

^^^Thanks! I will look into it.

Spent a few hours in the car today and I can't get comfortable in the seat. It's like I'm too low and the front of the seat slopes down too much. And the lumbar under your thighs doesn't extend enough to be useful. Really frustrating as this can't be adjusted away. Coming from years of M5s, Mercedes could really learn a thing or two about seats and driving position. These seats leave much to be desired. Ugh

HBerman

I'm 5'11 and find the seats quite comfortable.Have you tried the auto positioning setup? I found that it presented a different setup for seat positioning than I was accustomed. Just a thought here.

ocdbroker

Thanks for the thought. I'm 5' 11" too! Yes, tried that and EVERYTHING possible. I like to be cradled in a seat like a bucket. This one lacks whatever you call that bottom part of the seat that supports your thighs. Too short and too downward sloping. Maybe my seat is broken. Frustrating experience.

Also, spent an hour trying to figure out how to make the HUD brighter. Read the manual but it makes no sense. No luck.

Just realized I've been posting in the wrong thread. How did I wind up here? Lol

HBerman

Brightness on the HUD is a selection on the HUD menu. There is a "star" on the right of the screen selection. Select that icon and then the brightness menu shows up. You then can slide the control to the right to increase the brightness.

Hi, Ocdbroker:
The space that is empty is for ventilated front seats. the symbol showed in the picture is for heated front seats..
Best regards.

^^^Kind cheap of MB to use the same assembly for the back when there's no option to fill the blank, especially on a $145k car.

sagres1

You are right. I can not understand the reasoning of using the button of a front door, where there is an additional function, in a back door where there is no such function. MB has these things, such as no 3 way climate zone for 2021 E class including the E53 and E63, but there was for the 2020 models. The same applies for the dual sun visors: gone for the 2021.

ocdbroker

Lots and lots of cut corners. Embarrassing for such a fine automobile. This is what happens when the bean counters are running the show.

I am surprised at the small amount of mb tex on top of the door handle area. Kinda looks cheap next to the smooth leather.

I have the 2nd visor on my (much cheaper, much older) 2010 Passat wagon. I really miss it on my E63. I found this thread about adding the 2nd visor: https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/...nction.242065/
I would really like to do this, but getting the correct part number for the visors (i.e. correct colour) and possibly other parts) seems like a guessing game...

It's soft plastic, not MB-TEX. The panel below and above the handle is leather.
