This retrofit can almost certainly be done, its just a matter of getting the parts, fitting them and then getting the car SCN coded. there will be more parts required than just the radar sensor though.

are you able to provide me the info of the parts needed to fix the sensor ?
thanks

Sensor
Grille
Wiring harness

The latter is the hardest part, not sure whether EPC shows the part number. Some cars (like some ML) have the wiring there always. All info in EPCnet (which you can subscribe to for 15 euros per year, search the other threads for info from alfie)

It is often very difficult to get Mercedes to update the car's datacard (in VeDOK) with 'distronic' so that it can be coded on all newer cars.

Did we leave out the ON/OFF switch and possible change of ESP unit ?

Yes ..
