I've been told by different dealers that it can be done by non-dealer / MB tech. Something to do with liabilities.

Not sure how much $.

let me know if you find out.
I will do the same.

Yes It Can Be Done. Def Reccomend By A Mb Tech Do Not Take It To A Aftermarket Electronics Place These Cars Are Waaaaay To Sensitive We Had This Disscussion With The Engineers At The W204 Klasse School. Your Right A Dealer Wont Do It Because If The Screen Is Within Drviers Eyesight It Cannot By Law Play Streaming Video While Mobile

We just need some time for someone to figure out how to get the service menu on the W204 COMAND system and I'm sure it will be like the older systems where you can very easily disable the DVD playback restriction. I wonder if Steve from MBenzNL or Sunman has figured this out yet.

By chance are you mbdoctor? Every post by you on mbworld is about mbdoctor only. And looks like you cut and pasted the same line of text for alot of the postings.
