Mercedes GLA 45 2017
I had aftermarket parking sensors installed on the front of my GLC, since I ordered the factory trailer hitch, which deleted the park assist. Since there is a back up camera, I felt rear sensors were not needed. 4 sensors were mounted in the stock locations, whereas the factory uses 6. There is a very small
light bar that mounts at the forward front of the center dash speaker grill and looks like a factory install. It cost $700 and works well.

Hey Widman,
I would really appreciate if you share the details of where did you get the front sensors installed. I drive 2017 GLA 45. It has black circluar things little larger than the size of a quarter on the front bumper, but I don't have any parking sensors installed. I so much want to get them installed. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

It’s embarassing
My colleagues laughed at me when I told them my fancy GLC doesn’t come standard with front parking sensors. I had just assumed it did when I bought since this such a standard feature in other cars... majorly disappointed. I still love my car but MB is not so ‘perfect’ anymore.

.it's cheaper flr mercedes to cut out the holes for parking sensors for everyone and just put in a plastic trim piece covering it.
So fornmost people it looks like parking sensors, but in reality it's just plastic trim pieces covering where the parking sensors should be.
Cheap? Unbelievably so.

Just picked up 2019 GLC300, what a misleading to the customers, why keeping those parking sensors around bumpers when it’s not even working. If u spent $52k on the car don’t u think it’s should’ve been standard or at least have a trained salesman to tell that to the clients that those are just for display only.

For me it’s a display or a trick so clients can presumed that those parking assist is included. I can’t think of anything that they use that for something, the front maybe for braking assist, maybe! But the the rear side? I’ll ask the service when I go visit them and I’ll post the update. And make a note of key less too it’s not standard for $52k worth of car.. I don’t know what they’re thinking.

Wrong! Mine has all around sensors everywhere but no parking assist. I almost hit my cabinet garage and not even a single beep or tone came out. I called the salesman he said there’s no park assist and can’t even explain what are those sensors for.
