Installing an OEM Rear View Camera - GL450
Hi Guys,
Just ordered an OEM camera for the 08 GL450. A couple of questions:
1. does anyone know where a write up or video is for installing this?
2. does anyone know whether this is simply plug n play in that the wire harness already exists in the lift gate or will I have to procure and run the wire all the way back to the command head unit?
3. Will I have to enter the engineering menu of the command head unit and change any options; or will it automatically detect and do the configurations for me?
My VIN is: 4JGBF71E08A317174
Thanks in advance!

I believe you will need one of these or send your headunit off to make it work.

thanks for the response. does anyone have other ideas?? i don't think that the dealer adds external aftermarket components to make it work. What does it mean to "send it out?" I prefer to make it work similar to the way the dealer makes it work.

Works OK, and it's all MB. You might need to get someone to code your command unit. You can talk to those folk at Command UK, quite friendly and knowledgeable for both EU and US markets.

There is a precut opening on the trunk lid tailgate hatch handle that is perfect to install this rear view camera.
I used Bestbuy Geek squad to install the camera and run the wires to a separate aftermarket LCD screen that is mounted on the dashboard.
camera & LCD screen purchased at Amazon. Bestbuy labor cost about $200.

Or if you are lucky and have P1 or P2 with the defeated (in US) TV option, we just buy it from Mercedes because the wiring is already there, and code it into the command unit using MBStar developer mode…
