The dashcam hardware has always been standard, but it requires an activation fee of $200. I'm guessing that for 2027 that will still be the case.

The way that reads it sounds like it will come activated already.

what a generous company to let you use the features and hardware already available installed on your car.

That is not unlike cable TV services. All the signals are delivered to a device. However, one must subscribe to a channel to view it. At my location there are several hundred channels available in many languages.

And you don't think the base MSRP will increase at least $200?

Sadly this is where the automotive industry is headed. I seriously doubt MB got generous with the 2027 and included the dash cam as standard. They either increased the base price of the car or it's marketing hype and the fine print says it's just the hardware and a subscription is required to activate it. When I ordered my 2025 in March 2024 I could not order it with the dash cam. Dealer had no clue as to why. They even said that it can't be added later without changing the glass. I later learned it was installed but legal issues prevented MB from offering it until May/June of 2024. I took delivery in August 2024 and enable it immediately after paying a $200 fee. I get a disclaimer every time it starts about privacy laws. Apparently there are some locations where the car will not automatically start the loop recording due to local laws about recording people.
