MERCEDES AMG Center Console Carbon W205 C63 GLC63

High-Gloss Carbon (Code H73) | W205 C-Class & X253/C253 GLC

The Genuine AMG Carbon Fiber Center Console is the most significant interior upgrade for the C63 and GLC63. This is not a wrap or a plastic “hydro-dip”; it is a factory-manufactured component featuring a real carbon fiber weave finished in a deep, high-gloss clear coat.

Because the W205 (C-Class) and X253/C253 (GLC) share the same interior architecture, this console is cross-compatible between both models, provided you select the correct version for your clock and touchpad configuration.  MERCEDES AMG Center Console Carbon W205 C63 GLC63

Technical Specifications

1. Pre-Facelift vs. Facelift Differences

Before ordering, you must identify your vehicle’s specific layout:

• Pre-Facelift (2015–2018): These consoles feature a cutout for the Analog IWC Clock located between the center air vents and the media buttons.

• Facelift (2019–2021/23): Mercedes removed the analog clock for the facelift. These consoles are a “solid” carbon piece without the clock hole.

• Touchpad Opening: Ensure the console matches your controller. Most AMG models use the standard rotary dial with the touchpad “arch” over it.

Component Overview

A complete AMG Carbon Console typically consists of:

1. Main Upper Trim: The large “waterfall” piece covering the dash to the armrest.

2. Ashtray/Stowage Cover: The small flip-up door (often where the AMG logo is located).

3. Side Knee Pads: (Optional) These are usually wrapped in Nappa Leather with contrast stitching to match the console.

Why Genuine Mercedes-Benz (H73)?

• Perfect Weave Alignment: On genuine parts, the carbon “V-pattern” or diagonal weave is perfectly centered and symmetrical.

• UV Protection: Cheap aftermarket carbon often turns yellow or “cloudy” after exposure to the sun. Genuine AMG carbon uses automotive-grade resin that remains crystal clear for the life of the vehicle.

• Precision Fit: Aftermarket covers often sit “on top” of the original trim, adding bulk. This is a full replacement part that sits flush with the buttons and air vents.

Installation Note

⚠️ Expert Tip: Replacing the center console requires removing the side trim panels and the head unit control panel. It is a 45-minute task. Be extremely careful with the ribbon cables for the hazard lights and the IWC clock (if applicable), as they are fragile.
