Confusion on 2024 dashcam - help needed
I'll be placing an order for a 2024 GLS 450 in the next week or so, I love the option of the dashcam but in reading on this forum I'm confused if they're even available with new orders, or if it's worth it even if available? It sounds like there's been some issues, and they're not including the dashcam for new orders, which I guess makes my question moot. If it is available, does anyone have this, and can you include a pic? Is it integrated into the rear view mirror? It also sounds like auto recording when you turn on the vehicle is not available, is that accurate? Is it a worthwhile option? $200 seems fair for an integrated camerat. Thanks for the help.

Hi there. I ordered it on my 2024 GLS and it arrived works as promised. It uses the front camera (in the big star logo in the grille, I think). In order to record, you have to put a USB-C flash drive in one of the ports near the cupholders or in the center console, tweak a few settings and you're good to go.

Not strictly related to the thread, but it looks like we have some folks ordering new cars here...
What build dates are being given out? I ordered the day after the DOG came out and was given a date later this month, while a bunch of folks seem to have already picked up cars. Am I just dealing with a dealership that has poor allocations, or are there certain things that weren't available for early cars (like dashcams?)?

The only thing we are trying and I am hoping for is that they have a set of silver 22” Multispoke wheels come off of another build that they can snag for mine, as they are currently unavailable. I’m not in love with the double 5 spokes I currently am getting.

I ordered in April and the label says it was built in July. Reached the dealer in Mid August and I was away so did not pick it up for a couple of weeks. I ordered the dash cam and it has it. Does not have the fingerprint sensor although the manual says it does. On the dash cam, the manual say Mercedes recommends an SSD drive and not a flash drive. The flash drive I tried was getting very hot so I got a 1 TB drive from Best Buy and the playback is much smoother.

I managed to get an allocation that was already slated for November 17. I wanted Pinnacle trim (which is apparently constrained), but they already had it on the build. I have a fairly ridiculous build and am surprised at the lack of things on constraint.2024 GLS450

I skipped the Magic Vision and Wood Trim from your order (I don't want the kids to get used to too much luxury. The wood would have been over the top...). Added sun shades, Night Package and bigger wheels (which I think were a constraint for '23).

My order is also Pinnacle. I could have had one in August, but apparently it wasn't going to be the one I wanted. Never questioned it...

I thought about the shades, however my only regular rear passenger is 85lb of Basset Hound, and the thought of trying to keep them clean terrifies me.
