Parktronic with Park Assist

I was YouTubing and watched a video of the new 2013 GL. The assist park actually did both the parking and unparking out of a parallel spot. Does the 2013 ML unpark your car too?

Maybe they just ran the video in reverse?

Haha.. Yea, that's what they did.. But yea, I wish the ML 2013 could get the 360 camera and unpark the car too. Should I just wait for the 2014? That's just impossible.

Yes it will pull you out of the parking spot ONLY IF you used the parktronics to get in. When you start the engne, turn your flasher on in the direction you wish to go out and engage the transmission (D or R).

To my surprise, I find the parktronics really handy. It is simple to use, fast and takes the guessing work out of finding a parking spot in tight corners in busy traffic. With the rear-view camera, it is esay to monitor the proximity to other vehicles and distance to the curb.

Really?!? Sweet! They should really mention that in their marketing. Noone have YouTube this feature yet on the ML either.

If that's the case, I don't think it is worth waiting on the 2014 for the 360 degree camera. I test drove the Infinite FX with the 360 degree. It was cool, but not a must have option.
