Good Night ,need some assistance please.
When I press Night Vision button on my 2015 MB S63 coupe it says inop. Got a scan done .


Any assistance will be appreciated.
I live in The Bahamas ,Miami Dealer quoted me for two different cameras ,Not certain which one is needed if any .

okbarnett

dont even know if the camera is the problem. but the vin should show the correct part for your car, and only that one should work

Does anyone know which camera or where the night vision camera is ?

Thanks

TECHNICIAN

Needs further diagnosis. Those codes are inconclusive. 1 camera in windshield and 1 in grille. They require calibration after replacement that can only be done with an $8,000 Mercedes special tool. Will need to go to the dealership unfortunately.

Thanks for quick response ,the camera in the grill has a crack I will send pic . Not certain if that's the Night Vis Camera.

TECHNICIAN

Yes that is night vision camera and as I said calibration is needed

okbarnett

I think it might just be dirty, try cleaning it up, or use some light swirl remover on it, it looks all chipped up to me

island Benz T

ok will try ,Thanks again

Does anyone know where the coolant bottle is ?

island Benz T

I tried cleaning it with a brillo pad ,but nothing is working . Any ideas on how to take out ,don't want to mess up paint on car ?

okbarnett

dont use a brillo pad on anything. you made it worse.
you can try some swirl remover

Oops

dealer quoting me a camera for $1,648 and one for $4743. Not sure which camera to buy .

Tried the night vision last night immediately on start up, it worked for about 5 seconds then a spotlight inop came on .

Does anyone have any ideas?

okbarnett

yea, the lens is scratched up. it has to be polished.
Thats my first idea.

If it were me, I’d deactivate it and be done. Unless you are getting a message,that you need to clear, every time you start the car or have a light on the dash, I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m thinking about putting black tape over mine and putting on the Panamerican GT style grille on without the camera slot.
