Since the 2014 GLK 350 4matic is my daughter's. I find it imperative to install parktronic sensors even if it has a rear view camera. Most online threads or install is based on the service manual mb install which is removing both front and rear bumpers and buying some special stools notwithstanding that the removal is a feat in itself. Why is this better than other DIY? Because you don't need to remove the front and rear bumpers preserving the oem manufacturer build. It is quick, hassle free less than 12 hours install guaranteed. Then again, experience varies. Tools: drill and drill bit for hole(included in kit), 14g GI wire, weedwacker plastic wire, masking tape and electric tape, flat wide screw driver, small flat screwdriver, socket wrench set and star screw driver, silicone glue, 8 sensor parktronic kit.

The only thing needed to be removed from the trunk is the passenger trunk cover. BTW, this last step was not necessary as I eventually just tucked the wires along the seams, making for a quick install. wires to tap are the brown one is ground, the blue is the stop light and the farthest wire opposite the ground is the back up light. will take pics of it next time.
