W205 Reverse Camera

[Krognobo]

Hey guys just got a quick query which I hope someone here can help me with. I've just bought a 64 plate w205 SE Executive, the description for the car never mentioned it having a reverse camera which I wasnt bothered about as my last car didnt have one anyway. But whilst playing around with the settings I found a reverse camera setting where you could choose to have it activated by the reverse gear and also a button to press to open it manually (for cleaning I presume). I thought this was strange so had a look by the boot release and it appears to have the flap where the camera comes out of. So do I have a rear camera but its malfunctioning or do all cars have these settings and the "flap" even if not fitted with a rear camera? Cheers

Mine is the Premium Plus version and has it. Not seen a setting to change it. It just comes on when you select reverse and yes it’s under a flap which is a good design as it keeps the camera clean in the winter. Thought they all had it on the W205?

So activate the setting, put the car in reverse and if you see what's at the back of the car through the COMAND screen then you know you have it. I specified the 360 degree camera in my C43, so I get the all round view.

It’s standard on the estate I believe.

If your model doesn’t have it, then it won’t be coded (so shouldn’t be in the menu).
