Second Hand Mercedes-Benz G-Class Dashboard

The G-Class W463 generation ran from 1989 through to 2018, but there were significant interior revisions over those nearly 30 years, so a dashboard from an early W463 is very unlikely to be a straight swap into a late W463 without modification. You should confirm the exact build year of both vehicles with the breaker, as they will be able to check whether the specific unit matches your car's interior architecture and wiring layout. Never assume year-to-year compatibility across such a long production run without checking.

No — the W464, which replaced the W463 in 2018, is an entirely different generation with a completely redesigned interior and dashboard, so parts from these two generations are not interchangeable. If your car is a pre-2018 W463, you need a dashboard sourced from another W463; equally, W464 owners should only be looking at W464 donors. Always confirm the generation with the breaker against your registration.

No — the dashboard is an interior trim part and fitment is determined by generation (W463 or W464) and trim level, not by engine or gearbox choice. All G-Class models across the range, whether diesel, petrol, or AMG-engined, share the same dashboard structure within a given generation and trim variant. Focus your search on matching the model year and specification rather than the engine.

Trim level and specification matter more than the engine badge here — higher AMG models such as the G63 typically feature a more premium interior finish and different switchgear or trim inserts compared to standard variants like the G350d or G500. The core dashboard structure within the same generation may be broadly similar, but you should confirm with the breaker that the trim finish, switch locations, and any integrated display or ventilation layout match your specific car. Do not assume a straight like-for-like swap across significantly different trim specifications.

If your airbags have deployed, the airbag modules themselves are single-use and must also be replaced, and the SRS system will need to be properly reset and checked — this is safety-critical work and professional fitting is strongly recommended. Whether a replacement airbag module from a donor dashboard is compatible with your specific SRS system is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration, as this cannot be assumed. Do not attempt to reuse deployed airbag components or fit an SRS-related part without qualified installation.

The G-Class has been offered in both 3-door and 5-door body styles within the W463 generation, and while the dashboard itself sits in roughly the same position, associated trim panels and interior components can differ between body configurations. It is worth confirming the door count of the donor vehicle with the breaker to make sure any related interior parts you need alongside the dashboard will also be compatible. For the dashboard itself, confirm door count as well as model year and trim when requesting a quote.
