| Installation of the rear view camera.
After searching MBux for a fulltime rear-view camera with recorder, it appears there is none unless a collision occurs.
Anyway, I want one installed and I ordered one: Arifayz standalone Wi-Fi camera with loop recorder.
About $60 with the cable transformer kit. (The kit does away with the cigarette lighter plug. not shown.)

It requires a full time 12-volt fused connection and a cell phone to view the recorded pics.
Setup on the cellphone was easy enough, but I had to figure a way to get the cable with 12 to 5 vdc converter connected to the 12 volts.
I was at a loss as to where I would route it and to what place on the 2025 G550.
I finally located thru YouTube where the battery is located in the G.
It is under the rear cargo floor.
It was cold today, but I found the sockets and star drive to open the four bolts on the cargo panel floor.
Sure enough, it is very east to find.
This location will make it easy to route the wire over from the rear door window to the rubber trim and down to the floor in the rear, the into the battery area.
Connections should be easy once I get it open.
Got to wait for the warm weather next week as promised.
