for those wondering whether it will fit - here's a link to a chinese reseller, one of the photos has dimensions. It's a lot cheaper direct from China too:

I did. Looks to be the same. Haven’t installed as car still in the shop from the accident. I will install once done and add to my Panda Build Thread
Theres a single camera and dual camera option but the dual option in black isn’t available for shipping to the UK (or wasnt when i checked), did you get the single or dual, whats the difference in terms of what I wouldnt get if i have to have the single, in real terms?
Thanks
Thanks

assume I ordered the single as I didn’t see or maybe read of a dual cam. Looking now i don’t see a spec diff and the dual cam link appears to look the same and only shows one cam. Again i haven’t installed yet since car is still in the shop. I can look for the box around the house and see what it includes and upload pics soon Originally Posted by carlosamg50

I thought I read somewhere that this doesnt fit if the vehicle has the radar cruise etc so Im stalling the purchase
Im not sure how true it is because the factory cover doesnt change for the additional radar option so obviously no need for extra space in there?
Maybe I didn’t read it about the GL X166

I have distronic option as well and don't think the radar sensor is up there. It should be down by the grill.Originally Posted by carlosamg50

Download the Aliexpress app and talk to the seller. Seller requested I send a photo of my cover to make sure it is the correct part after placing order. I originally ordered the single camera and was able to change my order to dual camera. Excellent communication all around.

I'm not a DIY guy, so asked the dealer to install.. they SAID they tried, but that it didn't fit because of the other cameras for active lane keeping etc., but I think they didn't WANT to install it. If I wasn't sure I'd break the cover pulling it off I'd look for myself, but I'll be happier playing it safe and taking it to the experts that installed my K40 RD and see what they can do.
^ That is a load of garbage dealer is feeding you. Active lane sensors are mounted on side mirrors. Otherwise, how does the car know which side has traffic. SAs and Sales folks have the same requirement of vehicle knowledge when applying for their jobs. Two of my tenants are them and their knowledge of cars are poor at best.

With any luck we will finally get our GL back after 5mths in the shop from the accident and will quickly work to get it test fitted. We have distronic and like all other Benzs the puck is behind the star emblem in the grill minus the G wagon location. So will update once we have it back.
Watching with anticipation to find out if it fits, i think it will since the cover is no different between optioned models
OK. Got mine hooked up. Have both red and blue lights flashing which means its recording and wifi broadcasting. Cannot locate SSID on wifi. Anyone else have the same problem?
Edit: seller got back to me. Instruction wifi and password is incorrect. The correct wifi and password works well now. Downloads fine front and rear camera..

Hi chsu74, can you upload photos of what your camera setup looks like after installation? How does the rear look for you? Originally Posted by chsu74

What's the night time quality of the video?

The front replaces the rear view mirror cover. Fitment is OK but not noticeable.. There is the rear square camera that pops out. Originally Posted by BOSGL550

I looked at installing it myself but the stereo shop I use quoted me $160 for the install so I chose to have it done there instead.
The cameras took snap shots during the install. I don't drive at night much with that car. Ordered another one for my Cayenne so may have other photos and videos.
This is not a fancy contraception. Get the Blackvue 900 if you want clarity but that unit is huge and you also pay for it.
