Exclamation WTB Sl63 but have a couple questions first

I just bought myself a Panamera a couple months back and now my wife has put her foot down for her 'toy'!


I'm looking to buy a white exterior with red interior sl63 with atleast 2 years of benz warranty left (so probably around 2011). So if you know someone that fits that bill, send them my way!


I did have one major question though and that's about the lack of rear view camera. This is a big deal breaker with my wife, because shes super paranoid about backing out 'blind'. Is it possible to install something like this and have it integrated with the factory screen?


This will be my first benz, so I'm excited to join the MB world!

I believe they offer a rear view camera that integrates with the Command head unit

hmm, I see their sensors that warn when you get close to something, but not an actual rear view camera integration
