2014 E63 AMG S Wagon
Works very well
The auto parking is scary good. It parks faster than I have ever parallel-parked, and I find myself hovering over the brake during execution. It lets you know when you pass an acceptable parking spot with an arrow pointing the direction next to the P in the display (left or right side). Pull up next to the car in front and OK the self park. It will quickly park the car, narrowly missing the curb and the car in front. Yikes! I wish there was a "slow" mode until I gain confidence in the abilities of this system. Amazing!

The driver assistance systems in my car, equipped with Pkg 995 & 997, could not deal with the heavy snow that was falling two weeks ago. The display told me that all the camera and sensor based systems had shut down.
This was a wet, heavy snow with reduced visibility and all pavement markings covered with a couple inches.

Even with this much snow, the sensors work fine.

I have a 2014 e63 wagon on order but cannot figure out what the parktronics option is. The dealer just told me $1290 but I cannot see that option on the web. What is the correct option and where is it listed.

You do NOT need Driver Assistance Pkg for the auto parking on 2014 models. My car parks itself, and we just got the Parking Assist Pkg, no Driver Assistance Pkg.
BTW, this thread should really be titled Self Parking, not "Parallel," since our ars can also park perpendicular, not just parallel!

you guys on this forum have been a big help. it seems like the dealership people do not know as much as they should about these cars. I test drove a sedan in one dealership who was clueless and then would not compete in price with a costco dealer in PA. but the PA dealer is not a wealth of information but has my wagon on order ( I hope )
