W166 ML
Backup Camra Install

Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I can't seem to find anything that relates to what I'm looking for.

I have a OEM backup camera kit for my ML Class. I'm wondering if anyone could shed light on where the live power connection goes and the data connection goes?

if any one has a detailed guide that would be very helpful!

Many Thanks

No, it has command and heated steats. Most ML Classes are not well-specked where I live

Not sure about the power connector but I would guess this might be linked to the reverse lights, so that the camera is powered on only when reversing. Regarding the data cable, it plugs right in the back of the COMAND cluster. I know OEM installation is through the floor, I believe following the right hand side of the floor panel, close to the door seals. But I know some run the wires between the roof liner and the plastic covers of the pillars, or the rubber from the door seals.

They are charging £200 for the labour and £80 for stardignostics, I think I'll get them to do my dashcam at the same time
