Adding 360 camera to 2013 ML?

Hey guys, I was wandering if anyone has tried adding oem 360 camera to their ML? I was driving my friends car for a week, and it had the 360 camera- man it is useful!

Hi,


Was the OEM camera installed at a MB Dealership?

Even if it was possible to integrate it into COMAND, the cost of the retrofit would likely exceeed the price of a used ML with the package already preinstalled. You'd need a new grille and mirrors with the cameras, various wiring harness modifications, an additional module or two and last but not least you'd have to reprogram the system to synthesize the image and integrate it into the on-board system.

Sell your ML and buy one with 360 camera

i mean personally i dont think its a big deal not to have it i mean the on board reverse camera is pretty useful unless your consistently backing out of super tight spots where you need it..

It is possible to retrofit, but tearing out the interior would be needed to route the new camera from under the mirror and trunk. plus a new wiring harness to the front camera + vedamio coding.

Not worth doing. Just buy a GLE
