I've just done a deal on an E250 CDI estate. It doesn't currently have a reversing camera fitted, but I see it can be retrofitted.

I tow frequently, so was wondering if the camera would give a view of the tow bar to make it a bit easier when reversing to hitch up? If not then it wouldn't be worth the money/effort fitting it.

Cheers thumbup

I had a rear after-market camera fitted to my 250 CDI Estate a couple of years ago by these guys:

Not cheap at £800 - but perfectly integrated with the Comand system screen and software just like factory-fit camera.

Ive got an E350 estate with reversing camera & you can get it very nearly spot on for hitching up. Takes a bit of practice as my camera is off to one side very slightly to not directly over the hitch but its a big help. Saying that Ive not hitched up on my own as wifey is always guiding me back but it can be done mate.
