Thank you, hope everything worked properly after you've assembled it back). One of the most useful videos on the net, applicable as well to E class W212!

Just watched 50 seconds of the video and came here straight to write this.. Thumbs up 👍🏻

Very informative, thanks.

[@tonypalmer8940]

Very good coverage and good sound explanation. Look forward to more videos

[@glasser2819]

it is a lot of tedious work but well worth Diy'ing on any real Benz driven around town. Parking without camera is so passé nowadays. Brilliant retrofit todah 🤗

hi very good job, I live in France and i have a mercedes w216. I need the plastic trim as your own used in your modification with the protection of the cam. Could you tell me the right reference in mercedes OEM, please. Thanks for your help. Dave

Do you still remember what color wire the back up tail light has. I want to tap into the that wire to get a signal to the camera. Thanks

2012 C180 audio system is working but all speakers are noise coming.. how to fix it. I couldn’t find dashboard fuse box. Please help me to fix my car

[@Loveinabottlee]

whats the part number for the module and power harness + leads ?

[@subpurkayastha]

Hi, I would like to do the same retrofit for my 2015 E220 Saloon. Do you happen to have the part number for the kit from Mercedes? Also do you fitting? If so could give me a price? Many thanks in advance.

[@laveke4979]

You are a life saver !!!!! Please could you help me with a detail please ! I have a Mercedes c300 15 plate and it already has a fitted camera but it doesn’t come out all the time I am on reverse ! So basically some times it works sometimes not ! I guess is the lid that doesn’t allow the cam to come out as when it comes out it works pretty well! Do you have any suggestions for me pleaseeeee???? Thank youuu

[@killerhertzmercedes]

Sounds like the cable is fraying in the bootlid hinge, or there is a faulty/loose connector.

Hello, i have MB vito 2017 for activate menu extended? thank you

Hey, really struggling to get the black plastic strip off, any advice? I have disconnected the lock and all the wires. I have squeezes the licence plate light clips but still not moving. I thought it might be the handle but I see that goes out with it

[@killerhertzmercedes]

Yeah I remember that being really tough - there is a plastic 'C' bracket which goes between the handle and the locking mech if I remember correctly and that needs to be slid out (I could be wrong as its was over a year ago!)

First!

Awesome very informative, just little confused, the original wiring harness came with green connector which goes to the rear sam unit, however do i need to open the fuse carrier in the kit and insert in the fuse carrier on the car or wire? a bit confused why they supply with the harness when it’s already there? Thanks for your reply.

[@killerhertzmercedes]

Both have green connectors but are ever so slightly different sizes (if I remember correctly!)

[@nickb1417]

Can you tell me please where did you plugged the signal cable in the SAM unit? One is power other is ground where the signal goes. Thank you

Hi, I used a Multimeter to locate a live pin within the SAM, then use the nearby earthing point on the chassis.

Best to take it to an audio specialist to have a good look in person. Could be many things :(

[@learnerharps7048]

KillerHERTZ Mercedes Modifications thanks for that. It was a complete shot in the dark that you might know, seems odd as it worked just fine before i restored the factory settings. Thanks again, great channel by the way 👍

[@killerhertzmercedes]

It's likely to be something very simple, a cable that has a kink in it, or a plug has come undone? Sorry can't really be of more help Thanks for feedback!
