Today my Dealer Lynnwood Mercedes (Seattle area) upgraded my 15 View G with Cross Wind Assist. I have had many trips with high wind. I slow down but the fight is hard. The cost was $300.
We have a 2014 G and have added the larger stabilizer bar, sumo springs, and Koni shocks. Does yours have any aftermarket add-ons?Today my Dealer Lynnwood Mercedes (Seattle area) upgraded my 15 View G with Cross Wind Assist. I have had many trips with high wind.

I have heavy Sumo on the rear, Fox Shocks , Hellwig sway bar, Sumo front. I had a alinement and new Michelin done in Sept.We have a 2014 G and have added the larger stabilizer bar, sumo springs, and Koni shocks. Does yours have any aftermarket add-ons?
I have my View in storage. All my dealer did was to send the VIN to Mercedes and the upgrade CD was sent.Did they do this readily? I thought some of the reason it was not included is that the masses, dampings, spring rates, etc are not "stock" and the software would have trouble with the reponse. Although why it couldn't learn these parameters over time I do not know.
Please keep us updated as to what improvements you see with it.
Any chance this friendly dealer can update to 6 wheel tpms somehow as well?
Sailor Yes, I like to refer to it as piloting a river boat.Please do give us an update when you have a chance. I often feel more a sailor than a RV driver. I just accept it all - but have been curious what difference the crosswind assist would make. 2015 Navion 24V
As you might remember, I was trying to do the same thing, but on the East Coast. My local MB dealer told me it was impossible to do. The SA noted that he got his info from his shop foreman who was "really knows his stuff". When I noted that I was aware that it had been done on the West Coast, he suggested it was VIN related and that you probably already had software or hardware installed and that the load you had done was only to activated existing capabilities.I have many miles with CWA. It really helps. My right rear speed control went out last month in NM driving to Houston. Had it fixed at a dealer. I am now returning home. CWA does kick in at times. My View had Fox shocks, hellwig, and heavy sumo.
