Mercedes-Benz Dash Cam Options and Compatibility Guide

First check your VIN and vehicle manual for a factory dashcam function. If it is unavailable, choose an add-on system fitted around the car's sensors and trim.

A Mercedes-Benz dash cam can mean the built-in MBUX function offered on certain cars or a separate camera installed behind the windscreen. Do not assume that a camera icon, the Mercedes-Benz App or an exterior camera package automatically provides journey recording. Availability varies by model series, production date, equipment and market, so confirm it against the VIN and the correct owner's manual.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Does my Mercedes-Benz have a built-in dashcam?

Only certain vehicles and equipment combinations provide the MBUX dashcam function. Check the VIN-specific Digital Extras, the multimedia menus and the owner's manual.

Is the Mercedes-Benz dashcam controlled by the phone app?

Do not infer dashcam control from having the Mercedes-Benz App. The app and available Digital Extras vary; follow the instructions for your specific vehicle and software.

Can I fit an aftermarket dash cam to a Mercedes-Benz?

Usually, but the camera and wiring must avoid obstructing the driver's view, sensors and airbag deployment areas. Vehicle-specific professional advice is sensible for a hardwired fit.

Where does the built-in Mercedes-Benz dashcam save recordings?

Current owner manuals describe selecting a USB device for dashcam video on supported MBUX systems. Requirements can differ, so use the manual tied to your car.
