Parktronic Substitute

Parktronic Substitute
I have a 05 CLK 500 and sadly I missed out on the Parktronic feature. I just wasn't looking for it while I was buying the car. I was wondering if anyone knew of a legitimate substitute because I love the feature and really need it on my car. It's real bad that any Benz is made without this feature. These are supposed to be luxury cars and I see Chryslers rolling by me with a better feature set than my 500...

The rear retrofit kit can be done eaisly with the same bumper in the rear. If doing a full retrofit kit (front and rear) the rear bumper needs to be changed with one with holes or holes can be made and sensor brackets from the rear retrofit kit can be used with a full kit.

I posted this thread before and according to Steve (MBenzNL):
"yes it is possible...either aftermarket or factory mercedes (rear only or rear and front)...
On the 209 - MB does not use separate bumper insert strips so getting the PTS holes is kind of difficult or expensive..."
