Is it possible to have the Dealer install a second MB Quikpark in the front bumper, anyone ever do this? Would this only involve additional sensors for the front or an entire kit?

 

Noticed that you're also in NYC, which dealer told you that you can have quickpark? I asked 4 dealers and all of them do not have quickpark available as yet?

 

Sovereign in Brooklyn. Quikpark is one of the MB accessories for the new C-class so all Dealers should be able to order it.

 

i do not think you can add a second quickpark option if you already have or why you would want to, it can be added to vehicles that are not eqiup with it already

 

Yes it's on the brochure, but its not available yet as of last week, I bought my C300 from MB of Manhattan - the only factory-owned dealership in the US and if they don't have it, I don't think other dealers would, and the winter floor mats are on back order for 3-4 weeks..

 

Quikpark seems like only half the system, protecting only the rear of the vehicle. Similar to Parktronic I would like to protect the front as well, parking is tight in NYC and allot of vehicles have those trailer hitches extending from their rear ends that can damage the front of the vehicle. If MB can't do it I may go aftermarket and see if I can tie in some front senors into the Quikpark system.

 

Wow that's not good to hear, my car just arrived at the Dealer on Friday. When I spoke the the salesman he said he had his parts dept. order the Quikpark about a month ago. It may be possible it never came in. Maybe it would be in my benefit to take the cost of the extra $950 and get a front and rear done aftermarket would probably have the interior visual indicators as well. The MB guys say they do it in-house which I am not comfortable with since they are not experienced to install this item.

 

sorry you are right, the dealer can add the frt sensors, do not know if the parts are available yet

 

hey kfm !

you changed -modded- C factory grill to C63 amg grill - ?


it seems better face from your avatar pic

 

Hey kfm999 I saw my car today at Sovereign MB and they were installing the Quikpark. If you're still interested you may want to give them a call.

 

Unless KFM999 got his hands on a new AMG C63- his avatar is bogus. Why not post pics of your actual car?

 

Anyone know what parts are involved with the W204 Quickpark? I'm curious if this thing can be wired into a W203...

 

You should check with you local MB service manager, he should be able to tell you if the Quikpark System will fit the W203. There are many other universal systems available, do a search on "Parking Sensors".

 

WHAT!!! they have the parts?? did they give you the all season mats as well? BTW, how much is the quickpark parts+labor at Sovereign?

 

I don't have a good pic of my car yet, too busy driving!!

 

The Quikpark was $450 + 500 Labor to install + tax. Not sure about the mats till tomorrow when I pickup the car

 

kfm999 you are correct the All Season mats are on Backorder, found out today when I picked up my car. This was the only item that was missing.

 

quickpark will *not* work in a w203. it is designed for the newer can bus that only the 204 has. I would look at some of the aftermarket sensor kits out there which to be honest put quickpark to shame. There was a thread a little while back here in the c class forum with some pics of really nice aftermarket kits.

 

just wondering why you paid $950 for the quickpark... the MSRP for quickpark installed from MB corporate is $606...

 

Mine is $450 for QuickPark, $150 paint and $296 for labor, but my dealer offers me 15% discount. So the total I paid was $761.

 

I didn't know about the corporate price that's interesting, how did you see that?. I read a thread on this forum that quoted the price range somewhere in the neighborhood $900 range and up so I figured just have it done. I got a really good deal for the car, the trade and accessories from the Dealer anyway. Other Dealers in my area $1150.

 

All dealers get a pricing sheet direct from MB corporate with all of the options for a particular model. The installed selling price for quickpark on the C class is $606. that does not however include paint which runs extra (usually $50-$100). you might want see if your dealer will refund some of that money.

The reason why I mentioned the pricing is because the dealer I work at has been using a better kit than the quickpark that comes with the display and it was a big deal because of how much better the kit looked for the same price. (see attached pics). The entire rear kit with the display and factory paint/clear coat was $670 installed vs $700 for the quickpark. They also have a front/rear kit with dual displays that look just like parktronic that was like $1199 installed. I guess you just call them with the paint code for your vehicle and they ship you out a kit ready to go with the sensors painted.

 

I just saw this today: Its a C300 fitted with both front and rear parktronic sensors which ive been dying to see since I want them for mine...

The All Season Mats finally came in, they fit like a glove and the quality is superior.
