Built in camera: How do I access it?
Hey folks,
So I have a 2002, C320 and I notice that there is a rear facing camera in the mirror inside the car and and front facing camera on the other side of the same mirror. On the mirror's body are three pressable buttons and I believe they are for said cameras as well. The thing is, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the cameras working or how to access them in any way shape or form.
I'll press any of the buttons and a tiny yellow light beside them will light up, so I know there's power going to the buttons and they're doing something, but I really have no clue.
If anyone knows how I can activate the cameras in my interior rear view mirror and how I'd go about downloading video from them (if that's even possible, I have no idea. Maybe the USB port in the center console?), that would be awesome
You can see in the pictures I'll include with this post.

I'm assuming that you have the stock/OEM mirror set up and that a previous owner didn't add after-market components.
If that is the case, the three buttons are for the Homelink transmitter. You can program your garage door opener to respond to them. I think the component you believe is a rear facing camera is the sensor for the day/night mirror function.
