Can I Add Backup Camera to Comand Unit

Hi all,
I'd like to know if it is possible to add a backup camera to the Comand Unit which did not come with it installed. I have a 2006 CLS with a Mobridge M2Pro module installed for Bluetooth and phone features (works great!). Any advice re how one might add the camera feature would be appreciated.

Thank you for that resource. The cost seems a bit much however ($999). Is anyone familiar with this unit:

If so, please provide opinions and feedback. Thanks.

that piece won't work on your car, it needs to be done on the inside of the comand.

I've dealt with them in the past, while working for the MB dealership, it was 50/50 experience. First experience was OK, as NAVTV was out of stock, the second experience was just crap. we ended up eating a complete RGB convertor as when we called "it should work" was the tech response. so if you work for them mysecondbenz I was the one with the Maybach 62s for the VIM. I fixed it by an RCA splitter and turning it off with the STAR computer like navtv told me to do in the beginning. You do work for them don't you? I mean every post is on backup camera and *******... pandering without being a sponsor is a no-no... and i am sure any moderator can see it.

Not sure. My installer has brands he likes. When I get it installed and working I'll post back with the details. Do you recommend a particular brand?

Just to update; the ********* piece is installed and working flawlessly! Thanks for the advice. Installed price was under $300; the piece was on sale. Back up camera used is Pioneer and works exactly as the stock MB camera does.

Hi

All our products are designed in USA, and manufactured in our own US factory. Even product packaging we use are made by American companies.

Thank You

CarVision has all the experience about a rear view camera on a command system.
