Rearview camera
Here is a small bug. In my 2011 I noticed that if the radio/system is turned off and I throw the car in reverse, the rear-view camera does not display. Is this intentional? Is there a way to bypass this (hopefully by not buying a newer car)?

That's just how it is unfortunately.
I think Mercedes would 'argue' that you are not turning off the radio, etc - you are actually turning off the Command System (which therefore includes the backup camera).
I always thought it was strange you couldn't turn off JUST the music (be it radio, cd, mp3, aux, etc) without turning off everything else (backup camera, phone and Sat Nav).
Sure you can mute the music, but that is not technically the same...
Ah well...
