My 2013 C300 has the lane assist camera in the windshield but I do not have the feature listed in the menu. I only see driver assist in the menu.

Why is it there and what is it used for? I do have bi-xenon headlights. Is that what is using it?





You can see the camera in the windshield here

Thats also the automatic headlight camera and if i'm right Rain sensor. The lane assist cam looks the same, but is different!

I see...yeah i see the rain sensor which is just 3 dots. The other thing has a camera in there or at least i can swear its a camera. I guess the active headlights is using it to move the headlight position when on high beam according to the oncoming traffic....

I would have been cool if i could have enabled lane assist through the engineering menu since the hardware is the same...

You can buy the camera, but it is expensive , than MB can program this... Also expensive

It is called a multi-function camera for the reason that it is used fore lane-keeping assist and for the auto high beam for the bi-xenon and ILS headlights

Got it. So the Camera is already there! Whats it take to get lane assist feature then? Is that something MB needs to enable? Any idea on the cost?

There are 2 types camera's, One only for the lights and another for the lights and lane assist....

To retrofit lane assist you need an other camera, you need another steering module (so it vibrate when you cross the line )and coding.

Ok thanks...not worth the effort. I'll just make sure I stay in lane

And the vibration motor for the vibration function. The steering control module is also different.

You need to get the lane assist coded into FDOK at Mercedes HQ, then you can have the dealership do the vehicle coding. I retrofitted the Intelligent Lighting System, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind Spot Assist last year.

Sounds like it would cost a million bucks. BTW nice rims. I got the same.

Nice Job, i have ILS and was looking for LKA and BPA but think it's to expensive .....

You should get in touch with Steve Krabbenborg (MBenznl.nl)

He hooked me up with all my retrofits for my 2005 C230 and my 2013 C350
