Front camera on a w212?

Has anyone installed a front camera on their 13 w212?

Just curious to see someone else's setup. Looking to do this.

There was forum sponsor topic offering 360 cameras, .
Pretty impressive if you park in tight spots.
I have it on truck, but think it is overkill on sedan.

I've seen that system. But they're asking way too much for it.

Really not when you consider how low to the ground the front of these cars are. To the OP, I don't think there is anything plug and play and from what I have observed, it wouldn't be easy or cheap. But I wouldn't mind having It either.

Midcity has the VIM mod and can preprogram for the camera. I just wanna know if anyone has done it and what type of camera worked out best

I wonder if they come with different heights.
My E250 come with lot of scratches on lower spoiler, but I have been parking over standard curbs just fine. Once having 4 passengers I hear the scratch, but backing out of the spot it clear just fine.
I have more problems with driving SL500 over the curbs. That thing can scratch the street when leaving driveway
Coming to cameras- they require different grille, so that will add cost.
I just bought cheap rear camera from China that suppose to be plug&play. Maybe will try it today, but I am skeptic about P&P.
