Hi. I got a 2010 E350 W212 with parktronics front and back sensors. no Blind spot assist. Anybody here know how to Install Blind Spot system or add Blind spot to my current parking back sensors . or know who or what Dealership or shop that would add this system?

moved to W212 forum...
i'm sure it can be done, but won't be cheap...

Scroll the section main page for add for 360' cameras.
If you want to spend money, that is probably the best way.

Not cheap
Not worth

On my Ford I spend $2000 for 360 cameras and don't remember what the blind spot cost.
When I have mixed feelings about blind spot efficiency, or annoyance, the 360 cameras on big truck used for trailers is priceless.
The accident warning on W212 is upside down IMHO.

JBE350

the 360 camera add on is for backing up and parking only right?

JBE350

I agree it would not be cheap ..i would like to know is there any link or MB personnel that are capable of doing it .

Also for parking close to the curb, close to the wall or making turn in tight area, what can save you couple of points from multi-point turn.
The screen shows what looks like satellite picture, where car is animation, but all obstacles around are actual pictures.
Even I read about it quite a bit, when I finally got it - my jaw drop.

From what I can see, you would need the rear sensors (left + right), then bumper brackets to attach it properly, then they would need to be programmed + plugged in into the system. Then on top of that you would need to buy new mirrors for the little light up triangle.This retrofit would be more expensive than buying a new high end exhaust system in which you would probably enjoy more. Sorry, bud the cost is too significant to fit it in.
*Quick eBay searches*
Mirror + Housing = $1000 each
2 Mirrors only = $300 for both
Blind spot radar = $300 each
Bracket = unknown amount
Wiring = unknown amount
Programming = unknown amount

Thats already $1600 and still missing parts.
You can get a 2010 E63 AMG Exhaust system for closer to $1,400 on eBay.

I believe the mirror for the left side will be more like $800-$1000 because it is a dimming mirror. The one on the right isn't so that's in the regular $300 range.

Never really worth it to retrofit any option, at least with MB.

Totally forgot about that too, just buy a new exhaust, its cheaper and better value.

You guys should read the forum more carefully.
We do have forum sponsor selling whole system, including traffic camera for $1299

i can get the system "side sensors , wiring, module for les than $800 for the mirrors i get just the glass with the LED on it ...my total can be around 1200 . my problem is finding someone that can code the vehicle ....that's what im looking for ....

JBE350

Exactly ..these things are not that expensive as they sound...if you listen to the dealership they will be quoting you 1200 for a side mirror ...lol..

Hey, where can I get the radars for 300? My bsa isn't working an I need two. My dealer quotes me 700 Canadian.

I just searched on ebay.

I have blind spot assist, and l like it.

But don't get me wrong, why do you want it so much? l say so much since you're willing to pay that much money. you could do some nice oem mods for that money. It is cool when its blinking and beeping, but honestly, you can drive just fine without it and its not worth that much money.

Also be aware that sometimes those special sensors placed at the sides of your rear bumper stop working due to corrosion, age, salt, etc. So if you're buying a used ones bare that in mind.

for the W212, imho you dont really need it, the side and rear view mirrors are big enough where you dont have to rely on a triangle to tell you whats in your B spot. the SUV's would be nice if it was a standard feature like now on the GLE

cetialpha5

It's just another fun toy to have. But I don't have it on mine, wish it did, but that's just how it goes when you buy used. I just use a $2 blind spot mirror that I stick on the driver's side mirror. I don't bother with the right because I always manually check my right blind side. It's easy on the left with the blind side mirror. Starting to see some cars which have that blind spot mirror as standard.

drwolf

thats true, sometimes i think if i had it i would be very lazy about checking the blind spot since the car does it for me but its not perfect and it doesnt mean you cant rely on it when you wanna merge, ive seen cases when its bad, say you move and the other car wants to merge into the same lane

All that for less than $800 ? From where ? Who is the supplier ?

I find the drivers side mirror on my car not as good as another German car I own with regards to rear view coverage.
