Quickpark Parking Assistance

Posted on by

Mercedes-Benz is now offering Quickpark parking assistance on vehicles that do not have Parktronic installed.  The included vehicles are the w204, x204, and w211 (GLK, C Class, E Class).  It can be added to all vehicles except AMG models. 

Through the use of ultrasound signals, the Quickpark system employs an audible tone to detect and warn of obstacles in the system’s rear field of view, allowing for easier parking and damage avoidance.

– Distance sensors can be painted to match vehicle color
– System engages when in reverse gear
– Quickpark will disengage when towing a trailer.

It should list for around $450 plus install from your local dealer.  As usual let me know if you have any questions.
