collision notification function

not sure if there's another function i need to activate in order to see this on my menu, or maybe the chip shortage deleted this feature unbeknownst to me, but do other owners here see (or not see) this item on their menu?

it's supposed to take photos of the area of the car that has an incident should such occur whilst parked - eg, fender bender by inadvertent driver in parking lot.

I think that is the Guard 360 feature and should be standard.

i believe u r correct.
but wondering if all cars have the feature menu on their screen settings...or if it may have been deleted in certain cars (as the first photo i posted is from a demuro review, which could've been a pre-model vehicle).

OR if the control of the function has been migrated completely to the mercedes me app. cuz i actually found it there🤷‍♂️.

What an interesting coincidence for this post today. Just this afternoon I entered my car after parking in a public parking lot and got the attached message. First time it has popped up. I immediately got out to check car and thank God it was a false alarm. Also, no photo was (auto) taken. Maybe someone just bumped it with their body? Parking spot was a bit tight

I do have it and activated it on my 22 S580. However, it wouldn’t activate until I put a memory stick in. Did you add the memory stick?

Hi, where do you add the memory stick? Into any of the USB-C slots in the arm rest compartment??

hmm, plugged in a flash drive in center console... but still no feature shown in the screen menu,
​i'm thinking this may be an unforseen deletion due to chips😔

the only section of the mbux where i see any indication of this feature is under dashcam (which is under apps). but unclear if this is strictly the front cam for collisions whilst in motion or if all cams take photos based on location of incident whilst parked and alarm on.

still, doesn't have the preference selections as shown in the first photo.

I bought a 250G which is more than enough. Doesn’t seem to be any oppty to watch movies like my 2016 S550. Plugs in right in front of cup holders. USB-C type

aah, i think the software on my mbux is updated from the one shown in the demuro review (first photo in this thread).

cuz i found the collision notification controls under a different section of the menu...
Vehicle > Open/Close > Vehicle Protection > Collision Notification
if any others also need help finding their way thru the labyrinth, as the user manual is detailing the prior OS.

see photos...
