Yeah the screens seem like an after thought but even new BMWs similar jus pokin out the top of the dash..

Love the S probably why I like the new c it's a compressed version almost and the headlights / taillights big step up to me

[Sunkist]

Even the a class and b class have the damn screen, looks cheap to me.

Lights. LED headlights are soooooo good

Sure Aaron, I had better rush out and buy a Merc just for the $20 head lights.

Headlights and globes are different dude lol

yeah when i was at the Mercedes dealership the screens were the thing which made me question the interior..

if it had been integrated into the dash more, even have it slide up or something it would be perfect!

[HEKT1K]

Wow that screen is AIDS

[Sunkist]

Yeh it should've been integrated, my current screen is integrated and it cleans up the interior nicely

[Odium]

Looks so out of place, like they've just glued on an android tablet...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

so that screen is fixed there..... like that....

[xALmoN]

maybe they'll charge you $2000 as an option, to remove that screen.

[alr33x]

That's the new trend with screens not sure why.. Integrated is way nicer although perhaps a benefit is if they stuff up replacement / repair would have to be significantly less.

I don't like it but can't say it bothered me when I was in the a45 amg

[Odium]

I would think that an integrated screen which is well designed could be replaced cheaper...

If the screen, or the control unit, stuffs up... Remove the dash surround (2 mins), unscrew screen, remove plug from back of it and put in new screen (or control unit)

An external screen is more complicated / expensive to make, as it's got its own facia/bezel/surround/mounts... Might be able to be swapped over a few minutes faster, but you'd have to replace the whole unit instead of just the screen itself.

Looks much better in the dash tbh... And I'd imagine up where it is in that pic it would get a lot of sun glare.

I am glad car companies are going for higher mounted displays though, looking away from the road is never a good thing.

[xALmoN]

does car even need a screen?

[llama_au]

Don't know if it's already been mentioned but you can all permanently remove your rego stickers from today

[xALmoN]

do i have to? i like it there.

[Odium]

does car even need a screen?

Sat Nav, Reverse Parking Camera, etc, etc... They're all "must have" features these days. In the performance models, I'd hope that there would be other cool things shown like on a GTR, temperatures, warnings etc. But that said... looks like in the pic shown there's another LCD display between the gauges in the cluster anyway.

Wooooooooot!!! No more hideous colours making things look blergh

[llama_au]

You don't have to, but from your next renewal you won't have one anymore.

[Leroy Peterson]

forgot about this, yay

still struggling to get my windscreen free from massive streaks at sunset, anyone recommend a good window cleaner? the stuff I have at home is awesome for bathroom mirror, but just does not like the car.

[KURAUN]

windex and cheap newspaper, go directionally on either side of the window so if there are streaks you know which side it's on

[dezz]

Screen in my mates a6 is integrated. Should be that way in all high end cars unless it's moulded into the dash better than the new Mercedes. I'll be getting the older model so all good
