2015 GLK350 base model add back camera

I got the 2015 GLK350 base model.

Please tell me is my car pre-wired for backup camera? Can I install the backup camera? How much does the parts costs? Should I get to a mechanic to install this or at the Mercedes dealer?

My roof rails are black. How do I remove these roof rails?
Is remove & install these 2 roof rails simple and easy? Where can I find instructions?

Period maintenance is every 10K miles right? Should I have this maintenance done at my favorite local mechanic or at the Mercedes dealer?

Hi and welcome. Congrats on the GLK. Please do a search. Roof rails have been covered before and you will find that switching is not that straightforward.

Your "base" can have a rear camera added aftermarket: (1) correct "kit" including camera, wiring, and video adapter - there are two different kits - there are two style Audio 20 - looking at CD player - both buttons cetner - or one left and one right (2) Star system to unlock/recode.

Kit's are about $550-$650 - then proper install.

Roof rails, forget-about-it...

Thank you.

Don't take this the wrong way, but have you tried Google yet? A quick search for GLK backup camera kit install brought up a YouTube video that looks to answer your questions. In the comments they even discuss the parts they used. FYI, 2013+ are the same.




I totally understand wanting to benefit off others previous research, but I think it is also our responsibility to do some level of research before placing the burden on others. Google is an amazing thing.

Please understand that the aftermarket "kit" for the 2015 GLK is NOT the same as the "kit" for 2013 GLK.

The best resource for details I would recommend is MidCity engineering and/or their distributor Moving On Sounds.

Keep the beat !

fabbrisd1, thanks.

I checked MidCity Engineering products in their web site and searched Google, no rear camera for GLK SUV.

However, searching Google show similar PAC VCI camera shown in YouTube, but its just add on camera, not specific design for GLK.
