Has anyone upgraded their 2013 CLS rear camera?
My wife is complaining. I suggested a new car but she likes this one. I understand the 2014 has guide lines that the 2013 does not. The biggest issue is the quality/view just sucks compared to any other rear camera I've seen. It is usually useless in the rain. Plus, the camera points down to much with no ability to adjust. Has anyone tried to upgrade or modify their camera?

I believe that installing a 2014 rear camera will not give you guide lines. I think the guide lines are software-based and not based on the hardware of the camera. I'm sure somebody on this site will correct me if I'm wrong about this. At any rate, the part number for the 2014 CLS rear camera is A0008201203 if you want to give it a try.
