Hi

Can anyone recommend a good reversing camera for my car, it has a comand but unfortunately do not know the model number of the comand (have the datacard but doesn't state).

Many thanks
 
Hi

On that note can anyone tell me what model comand I will have, if it helps the vin number is:
FIN WDD2314652F033568 have the datacard but it doesn't indicate model number of comand.

Thanks
 
A quick call to comand.co.uk will sort that for you - look on their www.comandonline.co.uk website, they have a section on reversing cameras, I was on there earlier looking at one for R171 SLK!!
 
Comand UK fitted a genuine Mercedes reversing camera to my 2008 GL420 a year ago, it integrated with the factory fit unit , they are based in Lightwater, Surrey and did it in a couple of hours while I waited in a coffee shop across the road, lucky that they are only just over 1/2 hour from me. They are literally less than 10 minutes off J3 of the M3 so from Cambridge maybe 1 3/4 hours or less depending on traffic.
 
They're 1 3/4-2 hours from me, but will soom be fitting a reversing camera to my S204 and quite possibly also to the R171 SLK280 I'm collecting on Monday! Their knowledge and expertise makes the trip worthwhile.
 
You probably have NTG 4.7 and the reversing camera is integrated with the boot opening handle which makes it quite expensive
 
Never mind "probably", give Mark and Richard at comand.co.uk a call with your VIN, they'll soon tell you, plus how to access the engineering menu to see the date etc of the software and maps you have installed!
 
I said 'probably' because i haven't seen the display. 4.7 was available from late 2013 into 2014. An easy way to tell is if you have an iphone, try tethering it to access the online apps, it won't work with 4.5 but will with 4.7
 
I'd be scuppered there then - wife and I both ditched iPhones, her a while ago from iPhone 5 to HTC One, then both of us a couple of months ago from HTC One/ iPhone 4 to Samsung Galaxy A10 androids. IOHO so much better than iPhones, and bluetooth to our Comand straight away.

Anyone want a UHI Iphone 4/4S cradle, I can even throw in a good iPhone 4 so you can leave it in the car!!
 
Ive looked the car up, you have COMAND NTG4.5. We can retrofit the factory reversing camera with moving guidelines etc. Its quite a big job as the parts are expensive and got to deal with the boot opening hinges etc for the roof - but best "as per factory" in our book :-)

I'm not going to get into a debate over the pros and cons of iOS v android but there's a reason iphones outsell all others. My iphones have always connected via bluetooth inc music streaming via spotify with track selection on the comand wheel. It just won't go online but this is clearly a limitation of comand and not my iphone. Btw my current iphone 11 pro max only requires charging twice a week and the camera is the best on the market
