perhaps if you wrote a better question....
to replace one that's broken or to fit to a car that never had one as std?
the original camera is crazy money $1000, bad at night, and has a £2000 module to make the lines active
if you hack up the bracket up can fit a $200 genuine E class one from 2012 where its night vision is far better (the pin configuration needs updating)
or pay $200 more for the same later model "genuine part" but with a 221 part number sticker and you don't need to modify the bracket (pins still need to be moved)
or go on ebay buy a generic NTSC camera for $25 and play with the wiring
