This video demonstrates the Parking Guidance feature, the precursor to full autonomous parking introduced in later models. It is rather accurate, preventing curb rash and wheel damage.
It would not be a simple retrofit due to the radar sensors involved. The S600 has no visible Parktronic sensors visible on the bumpers but instead has much larger radars located behind the bumpers. It was changed in 2010 which used the small sensor on the impact strips that many vehicles have. It also relies on the large DISTRONIC PLUS radar located behind the grille.
Your 2007 should have the dynamic parking guide line on the COMAND screen when you select Reverse and the backup camera is displayed. The lines should move to show the trajectory of the vehicle for the steering angle to help guide you into a parking spot. The vehicles like the S600 in the video does not display the dynamic lines on COMAND but instead on the cluster.
You can if you have a 2007 with Distronic Plus. You would need to add two addtional radar sensors plus brackets to hold them to the rear bumper and then code the car with Vediamo to turn on this feature.
Not in that implementation. That was introduced a few years later. The current models automatically steer and select the correct gear automatically, changing from Reverse to Drive and back to Reverse as needed to line the vehicle up.
It activates when driving at a slow speed and a parking location is detected that is large enough for the car to fit into. It only searches on the passenger side. To search for a parking spot on the driver side you activate the left turn signal. The P in the box in the speedometer will have an arrow appear showing where it senses the parking location and the P in the box changes to blue in color. When you see this, select Reverse and the cluster will ask you if you wish to begin parking guidance? Press the OK button on the steering wheel and it activates it. Then just follow the instructions on the cluster.
