W212 Owners - SmartTV DVD is legit!

Installed the module yesterday and let me tell you, IT IS AWESOME! NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER!! I can watch DVD in drive mode now...

If you are in the SF Bay Area, I can recommend you a experienced installer.

What is the model of the part? How much was it? Is it difficult to install? If so, how much was installation?

It's called the VideoKey - DVD SCREEN UNLOCK by Cartronics. It cost me $299.99 + shipping. Installation was fairly easy, any car audio shop should be able to assist.

Be sure to tell your insurance agent you can now watch DVDs while driving.
