Night vision

I always assumed the chief benefit of having the night vision system was to spot deer in the dark… well I can confirm it’s much easier to see deer out the windshield than it is in the night view screen. 😅

Photo attached as it’s better than words.

MB’s of all kinds.
I loved the night vision in my 2010 E550. It was cool! But unfortunately I never used it much. More of a oooo ahhh thing when people got in the car. A novelty that wore off fast.

It's still light out, it's meant for pitch black. You can see clearly when there's 0 light out, works amazing.

Precisely the point of night vision, did MB get rid of this feature on newer S-Class, does the W223 still have this?
