For MW_ATL BiX & washer retrofit
Mike,
Found so far - cannot find the rear retrofit leveling but it's pretty obvious.

Rear Bix leveler
Washer nozzle heater
Headlamp cleaning system - The mechanism is activated by water pressure
Headlamp Washer system
Sorry for all the jumping around but I've previously posted some of this so I have to pull links from other threads

WaveyKat, Great!! I doubt I will start collecting parts for this until next spring or later, and I may never get around to doing it, but if I get BiX's, it will be with everything in place. I am sure I will look for advice from you if I start to attempt it!

The complete & proper auto leveling BiX retrofit & heated nozzle washer conversion is quite easy since Benz have made the retrofit harness available.

The more I look at this, the more I like it. Finishing the complete C7 package retrofit is this year's project, and probably AMG sways, but I think this will be next years!
Yes, I know, book value on the car makes it not worth it, but it is just fun.

Book value on 02 coupes make oil changes not worth it. 
Jokes aside, good luck! This is the first I've heard of someone completely retrofitting the system.

Yep - my car came standard with it & I would not give it up for anything. That includes Parktronic. Pity you can't do Parktronic at the same time as you will be messing with the bumpers. Trouble with Parktronic is the front & rear internal displays if you don't have the correct harness. There are easier aftermarket solutions with no drilling required.

Saprissa did the front and rear Parktronic in his Coupe. 
Trust me, if I had unlimited funding and the time/place I would be jumping up and down to do it. Unfortunately, I just squirrel away a little at a time - I am married, after all.

Understood Yes - Saprissa did so many things to that Coupe that I don't know why he did not order the car that way. I'm presuming he bought that car new. Once you've had a car with Parktronic you would never buy one without it again.

Just a couple of things I have collected
Just a couple of other documents I've collected. I will probably add other bits to this thread just to keep it all in one place for myself.
This is the Retrofit for the Auto-Leveling harness document, a picture that overviews the BiX system, with the Auto-Level sensors, and the DTB that discusses the replacement/updated ignition module for the BiX that MB came out with.

Just adding a couple of more things I collected to an old thread. However, I am starting to collect parts for trying the auto-leveling retrofit along with BiX's.
It actually looks like the auto-leveling shouldn't be too hard to install. The rear seems to be a cakewalk relatively. The front, especially going through the firewall connector is going to be a bit more interesting. The components are fairly reasonably priced as well.
Yes, you have to set Auto-Leveling present in STAR, it seems. But the same thing if you add headlight washers.

You actually have to calibrate the auto leveling with Star & a lightbox.

I think I have the directions for that as well at work, but if I get everything else done I will farm that out. . Right now this is all a slowly growing pile of boxes on my workbench.
