The order guide mentioned that the active parking assist will be available starting on MY14. I think in the US they need to redo crash testing for any bumper change, so I am guessing they are holding off until the model refresh... I believe the UK E-class cars all have it already, so it's not an engineering problem.
What irritates me even more is that the e63 wagon has no parktronic/beepers at all on the US edition of the car.

Sure it does, mileage equal usage and usage would lead to opportunity to engage in the active park assist.
That aside, I rarely if ever, park the CLS in a parallel location or on a busy street that might require the process.

No there is no minimum amount of miles... I just meant that I dont drive the car enough to even use the system let alone park in a way that would require such usage.

Do you have PP for 2012 e63 wagon or a tune?? Does it have the parktronic sensors in the front and rear bumper? I could not find that option on amg site.
That is the next car I want to get. Almost thinking about trading the c63 for it.. But I can wait for a couple years and have both..
Enjoy your cars in good health

I have the PP on the wagon and I actually did a tune on top of it. I got the PP cause the deal on the car I got was too good to pass up and it had the PP. Plus red calipers are worth all the money
There is no option stateside for parktronic on the wagon as I was told- we have the back up camera but nothing to really warn us up front.

Didn't know there is no parktronic for the wagon. Of course, the benefit of the wagon outweighs having parktronic.
Same here, I generally try to avoid having to parallel park at all. It's easier with the rear camera, but it's still too much hassle.
