360 camera upgrade.

I have a 2014 w212. And would like to add the front 360 camera. Is it as simple as adding new camera and swapping front grill?
Has anyone done this or heard of it being done?

360 takes 4 (or even more) cameras and overlap the pictures on simulated satellite view of your car. Had it on my dually pickup and 1st time I saw it - my jaw dropped into dust as simulated picture was the color of my truck and I had impression that somebody is watching me from the above.
That require sophisticated hardware and software as well. The pickup had several options and I liked trailer feature, who was showing 2 side cameras pointing to the rear. Perfect for backing up under camper.
The >$2000 price to add it to sedan is overkill IMHO. We don't really need it for small sedan with good views, but again, it was live saver on monster pickup.
Even on my 24' Sprinter rear camera is all I need for tight maneuvers.
