W221 S Class
Always On Night View screen

Is it possible to enable Night View during day light hour? My car is a 2007 S500 and I plan to update the headlight cluster to one having LED running lights. I will lose the infra red capability, therefore, I plan to use Night View as a normal forward looking camera, if possible.

Curious as to why. Does your windshield not work?

Oh... parking. Now I get it. I don't know that it will be much good for that, it's mounted up high and only sees a tiny bit different than you do. If it were mounted on the front I could see it being very useful... but never mind me, carry on.

Yeah, I know it's not ideal, but it's that or nothing. I'm not bothered about losing night view. I rather update the lights on my car front and back. I think it's a pretty sensible upgrade, but it's not cheap.
