Smile Backup camera

So, I have been following the threads on backup camera installs with the idea that I would do it soon. I may be over reaching though, as I can't find anything about a backup camera in my command software. My car is a 2013 C-250 sport that does have sat nav, but it is the basic without sound. I'm thinking that my car may be too basic for the factory looking conversion. Thoughts? Info would be great though

Thanks!

On my 2011 (which is the previous version of Comand IIRC), the backup camera is activated via the engineering menu. It won't show up in a normal menu.

There isn't anything in the engineering menu either. My ignorance is nearly complete here, but i am pretty sure there is no video input option that is on that menu.

It only shows up when you’re in reverse. There’s no button.

I disable mine. Not a fan. Do you already have one in a car? If not I'd try it out first. It might just be me being old school.
