New to MB. While pulling a small travel trailer it was very difficult to use the side mirrors to change lanes...did some searching in this forum and it appears folks were having issues finding the correct clamp on side mirrors as well as a backup camera, side cameras due to MB wiring on the 7 pin connector.
Anyone have a proven solution to this issue??
Thank you!!!

I use the Milenco trailer towing mirrors there are many versions, I use the Aero 3 on my GLS and prior ML. Very easy to mount. Sometimes they are available at Costco too. The MB back up camera is useless if a large trailer is connected so I use a wireless trailer back up camera mounted on the rear of my trailer, with a separate monitor screen in the console area. Mine is a Voyager, works well and helps with lane changes too.

Thank you for the info...what year model is your GLS? I would assume they have used the same side mirrors for a while now....did you have any electrical issues installing your trailer back camera? Mine is wired for a Furrion....little afraid of using the Haloview brand....heard something about a wiring issue with trailer and MB in regards to the 7 pin connector

Its a 2020 GLS580. I think all the x167 and v167 mirrors are the same. No issue with the camera it takes its power from the light source through the 7 pin connector on the GLS. I don't see why any camera would not work it is a simple 12v power source (running lights) from the 7 pin connector.

GL\GLS use Emuk 100217 mirrors in Germany. These are custom fit to the mirrors. You can also get them in XL size. They fold back with the mirrors too!
