a few of w209 mods

im sure som1 here has done this or atleast knows how and id appreciate it if they would share

does anyone know how to install a backup camera? (it wasnt even an option sadly) and to make it viewable on the comand screen.not a seperate sn.

also how do we enable dvd playback on the screen?

lastly

is it worth it to install and aftermarket backup sensor or just to buy the mercedes parktronic system?

i need to run a wire from the grill to the inside of the car. i believe i have to go through the firewall. does anyone know if theres any other way to get inside?

thanx guys

first you will need to get a Euro unit and then get the command codes to unlock the dvd in motion playback feature, the US unit doesn't have access to DVD play back nor does it have special command code for w209 CLK

i search all over the web , all MB forums and the only way ppl got it done (IN A W209 CLK MODEL) was using a UK unit in a US model car. I even ask my MB tech ( which does work outside the dealership for side money) he clam the CLK doesnt have a dvd drive to support dvds which cant be able , and i have to get UK Command unit which have the DVD player in it so idk i wish you find out other wise cause i what to able mines too lol

removing the Resonator is a cheap way to get you the more aggressive sound.
