Post Backup Camera

Hey there! Im really new here, and just go my first Mecedes for my birthday. Its a used 2008 C350(AMG styling, command and iPod interface, lighting package, leather package). The one thing it does not have is the rear backup camera... Ive tried looking for some guides for installing them, but come up empty handed. I was wondering if anyone has a how to or can help me find a camera to install myself. Anything would be much appreciated!!

I'm speaking from memory of something I may or may not have read here. Doesn't the multimedia package units come prewired to plug in a back-up camera that you activate with the engineering menu? Double check with the search as Ron Jr said.

Not on a 2008-2010 I remember reading the 2011 is wired. Wires will have to be run from the camera to the head unit. It took me a little over an hour to do the whole job on my 2008. I don't miss it I like the auto dipping left mirror better.
