Hi,
Is there anyone in the USA that is adding OEM mods/options like Steve in the Netherlands? I'd like to add parktronic and power folding side mirrors to my 14 E350 Wagon.
I contacted Steve about a month ago and unfortunately he is not traveling to the US anymore. Steve does amazing work and I'd really like to find that type of installer here in the US.
Thanks

If you do not have much experience with Parktronic I would try to demo it several times before putting a lot of time and money into a retrofit.

I have it on my 2015. After it actually recognizes a spot it is good and quick at parking. However I often find it challenging to make it recognize a spot, to the point that I rarely use it. It is especially hard to get it to recognize side-by-side parking spots and it only seems to want to park between two vehicles, not in a marked spot without adjacent vehicles.

I really wanted it for the front and rear sensors. Yes I agree the parking piece of this I would most likely never use. I have actually driven a GLE with Parktronic and you are right it was very hard for the system to recognize a parking space. It took me 4 tries before it worked.

The more you use it the better it gets for parking, I don't use it often either as I know how to parallel park, it works less well in head in parking, but I do like it for telling me when to stop, has saved me a couple of times.
