Now I know why everyone wants the 360 camera!
Just found this video review of the 360 degree camera and have to admit it's pretty sweet. I had never seen it in action and I have to say I was quite impressed at this technology.
Perhaps next a drone will launch from the trunk hover over the car beaming a video image onto your dash to aide in parking and finding a parking spot. Don't count it out! I predict 2018 s class to have it as an option.

That guy can't drive. It was painful watching him trying to park. The problem with technology is that sometimes people forget that the the side mirrors can be more efficient when backing up and the camera is to augment the information and not be the sole method.

i agree a little drawn out but pretty cool is the two side view mirror cameras to see where you are in the lines - still didn't help this guy park very well he should have prob sprung for park assist instead!

If someone can't back into a spot like that without a technology assist then they should turn in their drivers license.

My dealer says the option is available for 2016 orders, however, there may be a slight delay in delivery.
I've also seen some people retrofit it, but the cost is unknown to me at the moment.

I do wish though Mercedes included an audible component to the rear camera option. I found the audible "beeps" very helpful when backing into parking spaces with my Jeep Grand Cherokee...the beeps changing to a solid tone when I was close to an object.

I agree...I definitely can park my car faster the old fashion way.

I wish there was a simple after market product that installs cleanly and gave audible warnings of objects close to the front bumper as I seem to always think they are closer than they really are. I find the front hood has a vague sight line.

Agree the 360 camera is great. I appreciate being able to check where the farm cats or chickens are as i reverse the car out of the barn... i am not joking chickens in particular seem incapable of getting out of the way of the car and currently i have a hen with 15 chicks a week old making sure they have got out of the way is much simpler with the 360 cam!

Does anyone know if the car colour shown in the camera view is related to your car colour? I have an s205 in palladium silver and the car image is a nice mid grey.....would it be white if my car were white?

theres always some smart *** with a comment like this who doesnt have a clue what the camera system does to enhance the car. anyone can park their car. anyone can do it more easily with the around view system which is what its called in infinitis and where it actually has been for a long time and well worth it

And it clearly didn't help the guy in the video.

I Really can't see the attraction of a 360 degree camera, if you can't live/drive without one fine, but to me, just more electrical equipment to potentially go wrong when standard equipment does a more than adequate job.
