Can I install a back up camera system?

Hello All,

I am a proud owner of 2011 S550 4MATIC Mercedes Benz.
Just bought it and so far I am loving it.

From my Chevy Suburban I am so used to the rear back up camera now I am seeking ways to get one installed to my 2011 Benz.

Forgive me asking this question again and I am pretty certain you guys have answer this question probably 100's of time already but I am not very familiar to utilize this forum to find the answer.

Her it is:
Can I install a rear back up camera as original as to OEM if it isn't OEM to my S550?

I don't necessarily mean I want to install it my self but I like to welcome any logical options to get this feature enabled.

Thanks for your input in advance.

I would consider it just fine to post a W221 related question at the W221 forum.

It's pretty easy to do, though will cost $700, it will be same as oem, even better since the camera is low ambient light. Go to mid city engineering .com
