Engineering Menu

Way back in 2012, I installed a backup camera in my 2010 GLK. (posted how-to to this forum) I used the Engineering Menu (hang-up, 1,and #) to activate it under the HU parameters. Because the cheap camera came with lines in it, I had to de-activate the MB lines on page 4 of the HU parameters. On the 2010 there are only 4 pages to the HU parameters. My wife has a 2014 c300 with Nav and original back-up camera and decided that she wanted the lines. So I went into the Engineering Menu and found that the HU parameters has 18 pages! But there were no lines activation selection. Do the 2014 and later GLK's have lines in the backup camera? Does anyone know if they can be turned on or off?
I tried all the Engineering Menu
I found that once in the Engineering Menu if you hold Hang-up - 4 -# you get a 2 page sub menu
And I tried the Dealer Menu Hang-up - 7 -9
Note ( you hold the three buttons down for about 10 seconds and the screen changes to the menu) only for vehicles with the NAV system.

I found on the C class forum that no one has cracked this so I thought I might try here. Seems weird to have the camera without something to judge the distance.
Thanks for any help

GLK 220 CDI AUTO
Lightbulb Engineering Menu Pictures (1/2)

Here are 2 posts with a lot of images of the engineering menu which I took from my GLK 220 CDI Auto MY2014 (Comand APS NT4.7)

Hope this helps to find out what all these items mean.

I'm trying to find out if I can reduce the default Auto AC Fan Setting (runs at 4 bars out of 7 and pretty loud)

Also curious about ADAS map vd Default in Map Horizon

Any options you guys found useful in particular to change in the Engineering Menu? or is there a wiki for ALL the options available in the Engineering menu? I was just wondering if someone already played around with it

Thanks for posting these pics and instructions to get into the Menu. I'll try accessing tonight.

Wondering if I can enable certain things that are disabled now, or whether more hardware would be needed in order to actually enable some functions? I guess my question is, why isn't everything that the vehicle/accessories can do already enabled? Why are some things disabled?

Just looking for more insight into what hidden gems can actually be unearthed and unleashed with this menu.

Hi, I know this may be a little old, but I am having trouble with the sound. It started not working every once and awhile, but in the meantime it only works after the car has been standing without being turned on or driven for several days. Then I will have sound/music until the car is turned off, but will not have it after restarting until it sits again for several days. None of the dealerships has been able to diagnose/solve the issue except for offering a replacement at $4,000. I feel like this must be a software issue, as it works wonderfully on occasion. I tried updating the navigational software, but that did not help.

You said the pictures brought your sound back. Was there a particular item within the diagnostics that helped?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
