Magic Vision Control on GLS 63 2018?
Does this come standard on a 2018 GLS 63? I couldn't see an option and the dealer didn't seem to know anything about it. The 2017 GLS'es I have seen don't have it installed, yet I've seen a couple of references on the internet saying the 2017 would have it standard. I've also seen it listed in the specs in another post here
This isn't a question about whether it is a good option or not, rather whether it is even available on a GLS![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks

It is available on 2017 GLS550. I had to add it as an option. Pretty neat, but I'm sure new blades will be pricey.
Line from my build sheet:
874 MAGIC VISION CONTROL $ 350

Do the holes that spray the water look part of the rubber wiper blade that get replaced? I would have thought (hmm perhaps "hoped" is a better word) that the jets were part of the support arm and that it would take more standard replacement blades?

Perhaps my wording was a little misleading, I realise it doesn't spray over the entire screen like a normal washer (if that's what you were thinking I was saying), I meant, does the system use standard rubber blades with the holes that supply water being in the metal blade carrier arm (that doesn't need replacing each time) or does replacing the wiper blades involve replacing a more expensive specialty blade that has all the water holes as part of it?
I would have hoped they designed it such that the metal arm supplied the water with it using standard replacement blades. But perhaps they were worried about blockages and made it such that the water supply channels are all built into the blade and get replaced as well each time.
I still like the system either way, unfortunately it is not available as an option where I live but I would consider tracking down the required parts and installing it later.
