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

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.

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

I’m thinking about putting black tape over mine and putting on the Panamerican GT style grille on without the camera slot.
