This software update does not sound like a solution to me. At the moment my A class will have the camera open and close four times before it completes the calibration and it does this every time the car is started. I can force the calibration to complete quicker than this by driving in a straight line below 15 mph for about 100m. This is a known method for forcing a camera calibration as advised by MB for any camera that is having a calibration issue. If I do this the camera will close and not open again. This is not a practical fix or workaround as it is generally not possible in traffic to drive this slowly for this distance. This software ‘fix’ just sounds like the workaround I set out above and I don’t think it is a practical solution - in fact it sounds like there is no software update and that MB have simply provided the advice that already exists. By my calculation, 1 minute at 15mph is around 400m so you need to drive at 15mph for 400m to get the camera to calibrate. I can already get the camera to calibrate in about 100m and this is still not generally possible or convenient. It’s all bollocks!!
