I have a CLK 2001 with a full comand system and a fitted TV tuner(genuine MB). Is there a way of adding a reversing camera so I can view it on my comand screen. I have the camera which has a power cable and video cable but need to know if this can be connected to the tuner and if so is it an easy job.

Assuming the CLK TV tuner is anything like those on W211, it would have aux ports that you could use. I don't know how you could make it come automatically on when reversing though.

I thought I could connect the power to the reverse light so it would activate only when in reverse, but yes like you mentioned I would have to figure a way of the screen tunning to the camera view when reverse is selected. I could just press the button.

Thanks for the advise on the AUX ports.
