Hi everyone
'I have a 2014 Mercedes Benz C300 sports' I am just confused that my car did not come with a back up camera. I met a couple of Mercedes Benz owners with the same model that said theirs did come with one. I purchase the car used at my local Mercedes Benz dealer however I just assume it came with it since I do have navigation and Sirius radio etc. Just wanted to know from you guys am I missing something. I check the vin number, I still can not make heads or tails reading it if it's equip or not. I thought it might be turn off or something. Any help will be appricated. Thank you for your time.

I decoded the VIN number for your car and it does not have the camera option.

Thank you so much, i will know for next time.

Having Navigation means you probably have COMAND and fitting a camera should only cost around $30 if you DIY.

dchar

It’s interesting German cars made something so simple like backup camera optional on cars, even when equipped with navigation. It’s still like that on new ones today.

Here’s a link to a vid for a relatively easy install:

i really appreciate the help and understanding.

Any chance that I could get this VIN decoded?

Thanks in advance.
