Starting to get excited, a few questions on the 21G550
1). For parking assist / off-road assist, all there is is the rear back up camera? Front camera is blocked from the bull bar, are there any other camera views available?
2). Sounds like no wireless charging for USA models?
3). No remote start from the key fob, it has to be from your phone...?
4). I am assuming no 360 camera, but hopefully there are others that are available to assist in tight situations.
5). Any one have any mean G550 (with AMG sport exhaust) sound clips? Are they decent? Or better to swap out?
6). For a tune, I am thinking Rennteck, little pricey, but they seem legit.
7). How does the Burmeister perform? Will you be adding more? Or does it suffice?

No front camera on US version G550s - what you will see is just the place it would go, and therefore no 360 camera either. No remote start from the fob but it is supposed to have wireless charging in the center console. I have the G63 exhaust on my 2020 G550, which sounds just like a G63 in Sport mode. Finally, the audio system is fine for me but that topic is very subjective!

I ordered it with the AMG Line Package that comes with the Sport Exhaust; however, I took that off (sold to a member here minus the actuators) and bought the mufflers with tips off a G63. I installed the actuators on the G63 mufflers and had them installed after buying a few parts such as the rear hangers.

I have already removed the brush guard from my 2021 G550 and patiently waiting for a permanent solution for the holes. I found the part number for the front camera on the G63 and European spec'd G550. The big question is, does anyone know if it will work once installed? It appears the wire is there and the housing looks like it will accommodate the camera once the dummy plug is removed, I just don't know how to get the system to recognize it and display it. Anyone know?

Interesting...maybe you can buy the camera and try it, but if you have a shop that has the software they might be able to enable it. I would do it for sure if it was possible - I could have used it tonight! By the way, the Canadian G550 can be optioned with the front camera (and no brush bar).
i read a while ago that everything is in place for the camera, just need to install it and then code the car to get the camera on....
