reverse camera installation
hello everybody and thanks in advance for your support.
I have one C250 MY2013, sport with AMG Kit and Command Online 4.5 radio. vin number is: WDDGF4HB6DA839702. The question is: the unit doesn't have the reverse camera installed. I want to buy the OEM reverse camera and install it to fit with my original Comand online 4.5, like original OEM installation. I want to know if any chance that the unit comes with the trunk pre wired for the camera. The idea is to buy only the camera, and just plug and play with the original connector, if available in the trunk. I don't want to install cables all over the car, remove the radio, panels, carpets, etc, because I think is complicated, so if the unit comes pre wired the installation should be easy and I can make it by myself. Can anybody tell me if any chance to know if my car is pre wired for the Oem reverse camera?. thanks again for your suggestions, regards.

I doubt it's pre-wired. Get access to the inside of would-be camera's location and check it yourself. It's also a great time to change the license plate's stock bulb to LED.

Most likely it is not pre-wired. My 2011 has no camera. I asked the dealer where I bought the car if it is pre-wired. They said MB does not pre-wire anything, and they don't provide after market installation. I had to install it myself. It is difficult but doable. I was not in a hurry so it took a few weeks to finish.
