Question Night Vision Camera Replacement

So as luck would have it my night vision camera is dead, seems the lens cracked and maybe water got in. Replacement camera is $4k from MB, does anyone know if a used camera would work? Will it need to be calibrated or otherwise interacted to with Xentry?

I had a similar problem earlier this year. Debris of some kind, probably a small pebble, was thrown up by a truck in front of me in highway traffic. It managed to hit and crack that night vision camera lense. Parts and labor from the dealer were $4,320 and $1,020, respectively. My State Farm insurance paid it all without deductible under my comprehensive coverage. I was told there was significant labor needed to install and recalibrate the new parts.

Your insurance got fleeced royally. Grill comes out in 20 minutes to gain access the first time you do it. Camera comes out easily.

FWIW I can get that camera for $3600.00 + tax. New. Have Peter calibrate.

Camera in my car suffered a similar fate as yours.
