Rear view camera?

Hi guys, i just bought a 2009 e350 and i was flipping through the comand user manual and it mentions rear view camera, but i dont see this option anywhere in the settings. Would anyone enlighten me on how to turn this feature on as there are many little kids in my neighborhood and this feature is very important to me. Thanks so much and im sorry if this has been mentioned before, i did do a search but i didnt get any other posts.

o ok..but thats dumb of mb to put it in the US manual, even when it will never be brought here, but is there a difference in the nav from 09 and 10 cause the 2010 has a rearview camera?

I felt the same way . . .

I, too, was disappointed that the 2009's didn't have this option, so I installed it myself - Best advice, contact Mid City Engineering and they have a box that will allow a rear view camera option. Works just like factory option, and not all that hard to install. Camera comes on when you put the car in reverse and goes off when you start moving forward. Check this Forum for their address and information.

Will this work with the Euro COMAND in an 2004? I know I don't have this green connector in the back of my COMAND.

you can add rear camera to it, I did it for one of my friends, however there is no place to flush it it in to the trunk lip like the S and C class. I would suggest a plate frame camera which come in black or chrome
