Add a reversing camera
HI
Help again please. I really want to install the rear parking camera on my UK model W216 (2007). Can anyone give me a list of parts I need - I have read lots of old threads, but none have the parts list.
I have option 230 (parking guidance) installed - but no camera.
Was hoping it would not need a huge long list of parts - but need it to function with the park guidance on the screen (ie with guideance lines etc)
Sorry to ask on the w221 section but there are so many more users/owners than the 216 forum!!!
thanks for any help you can give

Have foubd this kit on flea-bay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-M...#ht_500wt_1054
tried checking the part numbers but there are so many of them....I have parking guidance and assume that i need the camera, control module and loom. All 3 are in this kit...but I just cant work out which numbers i need - there appears to be 3 or 4 versions of camera and 3 or 4 modules - don't know whether to buy or not....??!!!What do you think..its a risk - but its genuine MB ad the guy says it WILL work in my 2007 UK W216...but I just don't reckon i can return it to china if its the wrong one - and I wont know until I try to install and then get the unit coded....
