I installed the factory kit on my C55, which required the rear bumper to be removed and the bumper strip insert to be changed. The internal rear map light assembly needed changing over the combined parktronic display / light unit. Then the MB Star tool needs to code the system as present.

The Bosch kit is a breeze to install in comparison to the OE unit. No bumper removal, OE product, dedicated display with sound. Pretty slick.

Cool. Where did you buy the parts and how much?
