backup camera lines

Have a "new to me" 2014 300C with Nav and factory Backup camera. Is there a way to turn on the lines for the camera?
I installed a camera in my 2010 GLK and the engineering menu (hang-up, 1, #) HU parameters had only 4 pages with the last one having a parameter to turn on or off the lines. That camera had built in lines so I turned off the Mercedes lines.
The 2014 300C's HU parameters has 18 pages but no place to turn on or off the lines so the rear view camera has no lines to give perspective as you back up.
Is it in the dealer menu (hang-up, 7,9)?
Thanks

I just picked up a 2013 C350 and did the whole engineering menu thing.

Nothing changed. Any suggestions?

So far no one has been able to figure out why the W204 does not have any guidelines. I have only seen retrofit ones.

Hey Bop11..
I have a 2012 GLK with the large screen and navigation Command.. but no back up camera.. I have enabled the Activation by R on the menu and when I go in reverse.. the screen changes to back up.. but no video .. I bought the OME benz camera .. is there any way I can install that one.. or if not.. please let me know what I need and i'll get it.. do I need the interface or not. .I don't think so but since you did it on yours I figured id ask..
thanks..
