2004 C Class Coupe Comand and DVD's

Hi,

Is it possible to play DVD's on the above unit. I have discovered that the unit is a Harman Becker version 2.1 which i believe is different to those in older cars? I have tried the 3-5-7 trick but i must be doing it wrong as the unit "locks up" for a min and then resets.

Any help would be appreciated.

I assume you have a DVD comand in dash then? If so... W203 DVD comands are nothing like the W211 DVD comands.

Most important difference: the W203 DVD comands have an integrated navigation drive, which is only meant for nav. DVDs... not for movie DVDs. If you want to be able to watch DVD (or TV), you would have to go the same route as with the CD-rom based comands: purchase a TV tuner and connect a DVD player to it...

Greetingz,

BigSis

W203 = C-class from 2001 and up.
W211 = new E-class from 2003 and up.

discovered is a BIG word for something that is posted all over several forums...

and NO...3-5-7 won't do anyuthing for you at all...no matter wether you have a CD rom or DVD based comand.
