Yes, it works, but your MB dealer must activate TV knob on your Comand, the problem is that while your car is running, you can´t wach DVD because your display is turning black. The best solution, is to send your Comand to Megacomm, they will activate TV knob and disable TV on moving. They did it in my 2003 S class, it works fine. You can email them to shop@megacomm.de

The US COMAND does not have TV silkscreend on the button. Just a blank button, however, the dealer cna still program via DAS the use of that blank button as a TV button.

I have not had this done. However, there has been an enormous amount of conversation on this forum about it. Doing a search will probably yield a large amount of information. I am sure someone will be able to answer most of these questions in a timely manner.

If your dealer activates this button, how do you hook up a dvd or X box? Does it require much wiring work?
Thanks

Yes i do need the Euro command please inform on what i need to do in order to obtain the command from you. Also will this command allow me to play the playstation 2 and or DVD? If yes will i need anything else to accompany the command? And will my USA command work or do i definitely need a EURO command?

Will you be doing any installs in the California bay area.....?

To Be able to connect a DVD player or playstation to comand you need an RGB connector...I can bring those as well...
I will most probably be in california to do some comand installs again in the second half of april/beginning of may...LA area and the bay area.

MbenzNL question

Can this RGB connector be used effectively with a 2000 US COMAND, assuming the MB dealer activates the tv button?
Is a DIY or is it difficult to hook up?
Thanks

More questions:
A- Do they need to change US comand instead Euro comand?
B- If not, can their dealer activate their blank button as TV button?
C-Do they need to disable TV interlocks for watch AV source while running?
D-Does the Megacomm AV adapter works with US comand?

Hi, I think you have an easy way to do it. I tell you what I did. My dealer disasembled my Comand Unit from my car (2003 S class) it is very easy, about 10 minutes. I send my unit to Megacomm, they activate TV button (In yours, blank button), disabled TV interlocks for watch AV signal in motion and plug Megacom AV interface, you can fit you DVD unit in your glove compartment. It works perfect
