hi
I have a 2010 w221 s500 L, is it possible to change the reverse camera with static lines to a reverse view with lines that move when you turn the steering wheel.
If possible could someone please post a link to where i could buy it.
Thank you.

I'm fairly certain that the lines move with the steering wheel angles to show where the car is heading on all US cars with the rear camera option and Distronic+. My lines move, but my only complaint is that the camera image isn't all that clear. In fact, it's not even close to the clarity on all newer model cars from all manufacturers with rear cameras
.

My car, a 2013 S350, with Distronic Plus Does not have moving steering lines in the rear view camera. I have a feeling this required an additional module that was removed to maintain profitability during the final build year of the W221. Interesting enough, during a Park Assist maneuver, the steering angle is indicated in the driver display with matching steering lines. But to superimpose this over the rear view camera image I believe requires an extra module.

Perhaps somebody else with a US 2013 model will chime in here with what they have regarding directional lines or not. Honestly, I find the directional lines pointless and not very accurate. I just wish I had better clarity with the camera. Most people wish they had features on their cars that they didn't originally come with....whether those features are helpful or not. Often, those features they desire would otherwise go unused because they are "gimmicky". Night Vision is a perfect example.

Mine is a UK model, I have distronic+ and active parking assist.

The only cars I have seen this on are 2007 US models without the telematics update. Without the telematics update, it will show dynamic lines.
