The car has a camera and an SD slot. It would be easy to save last 60 seconds of video and give an option to put it on an SD.

I'm currently researching the installation of a Beltronics STir stealth radar detector system. You have to run wires through the firewall and also find a location for the remote display device.

I installed K40 with laser jammers. I am waiting for the Mid-City remote starter to be developed.

I emailed Mid City last month and they said they were working on some options for the 2014 and up S550

I purchased WeatherTech Digital Floor Liners. My '14 S550 4matic is Obsidian Black with Silk Beige/Espresso Brown Nappa Leather interior. The interior color is very light and the Tan WeatherTech floor liners are very nice in the sloppy Pittsburgh winter that we have had.


In the past I have purchased the Mercedes Benz sold all weather rubber floor mats for my S and E classes but I like the WeatherTech liners best since they also protect the side of the carpet where one's foot rests.

We have the MB rubber floor mats, trunk floor "tray", and roof rack with bicycle carriers.

We have the light color interior and use the rubber floor mats when the weather isn't nice.

Actually, a dash cam is a good idea in a car now. I have been looking for a good one - both to record accidents (insurance fraud), and protect yourself during police stops.

I run a video copilot VC-250. I just like the looping it does with the files and deletes the latest one. Prone to thief though just like those portable navi age unless you hard wire it mount it somewhere concealable without blocking the camera eye.

When I get my next car I'm going to install a Blackvue 550. BOTH front and back.

BlackVue seems to be the best quality dashcam out there. This way if anyone tailgates, cuts you off, or does something else stupid and gets you in an accident you can sue the living daylights out of them for negligent driving. Also if you drive away you can likely get the license plate number.

Plus the Blackvue units have a motion feature that is active in parking lots so it records activity if there is any motion near your car.

I had some new oem rubber mats from my 2012 s550 in napa color but I'm debating if I should put them on the 2014 s550 but it's black, also will be adding a gthaus exhaust catback possibly, and debating on a tune but don't want to void my warranty

I love those russian dash videos! The problem with dash cam is if you just left it there. So many evil people today, even in the nicest neighborhood. The only solution I found to thwart people stealing my dash cam is to hard wire it and tuck it in nicely somewhere. Currently I just pull the unit off when I park the car and plug everything back in when I drive. With that said, beautiful floor mats! I hope it didn't cost you 200 bucks.

Let me correct you on something here, as an owner of the BlackVue DR500GW, it does not record motion near your car... What it does detect in parking mode (which is switched on automatically if you actually hardwire it with the optional module) is motion detection when something moves your car (e.g., hitting your car)...

I'm looking for a carbon fiber rear deck spoiler to match the exterior carbon fiber trim package that I ordered on my S63. It would complete the look of the car. I'm surprised AMG does not include this in their package.
