VIM and Backup Camera Help!!
Hey guys,
I am in need of your opinions. Which VIM and backup camera do you recommend, here are the options I am considering.
1. NAV-TV
2. NAVVideo
3. Mid City Engineering
Thank you for your input.

I'm going to go under the assumption that you have the Multimedia Package.
NavVideo and NavTV looks like the same thing. You're gonig to need 2 things:
http://navtv.com/product/116/w204mprg.html
http://navtv.com/product/95/cam1-lic...t-vision-.html
I don't know which one is better. I have the MidCity one and I think it's great. As of now, my opinion is one sided because I only use MidCitys. The guy who did the install recommended NavTv at first. Back then the price for it was about 1000 so I guess before it went on sale. I told him MidCity has one for 7-750ish and he checked it out. His response was "NavTV camera is better. But it is not worth the extra $300".
BTW if you need a DIY search in the W204 forums under "cyclops" and it should pop up.

I just bought a http://www.amazon.com/Kenwood-CCD-20...261396&sr=8-31 It doesn't look like my cars modded at all, looks completely stock.
and bought the fakra to rca cable from midcity (like $25-30), works fantastic, if you're doing the install yourself, i would recommend this camera, works great, even at night. There's 3 different tutorials you can check out as well over at https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-together.html I used the centered location.
