The following are directions to make your TV/DVD work while the car is moving.
I just did this on my car after hearing about it from my friend. my car is a german CLS 55.
1. press and hold the mute button, endcall button and service button at the same time for roughly 5 seconds.
2. press and hold the # button and * button and the < button next to the "ok" button" for roughly 2 seconds.
3. a menu will pop up on the right hand side asking for dvd regional code and car in motion tv/dvd code.
4. Uncheck the 0 km/h and 10km/h marks under the driving in motion menu. uncheck dvd regions as well.
hope this works for everyone~~~

the code only works for older platforms and on euro cars.. All of the newer platforms (221,216,204, and 2009 R230) have had all engineering menus eliminated for just this reason...

think before you do.
Does anyone get road rage?
Of course, and most of the time the idiot wasnt paying attention to driving, so you get pissed.
If you wana be a stat put the vid in while driving, If you do something stupid, be prepared to deal with it.
There are enough stupid drivers in the world, we dont need any more.
And grow up guys, dont slam someone for there age, plenty of young drivers are better than you!!
Just look at how many young pro drivers are in F1.
I think if you use these post to help get the msg out on proper driving we can all relax a bit more in the roads.
PS. I am a fast driver.... but also have MAX insurance discount.
I have almost had accidents, but its cus I wasnt paying attention NOT cus I was over the limit. ( Bad idea on the moblie vid's )

Have you ever thought that people who are getting VIM is so the passengers can watch dvd's while on long trips and not for the driver.

I have the 2008 C 350 sport. Irridium Silver Metalic,Multimedia Package,iPod,18" AMG wheels
here's the youtube link
There is a modification that can be done that allows you to watch Video while the car is In Motion (VIM). The dealer told me they 'know a guy' who can do the mods for $200, but you have to sign a waiver so when you wreck doing 90 watching p0rn you can't sue them. 
There's a vid on you tube that shows a new C Class w/ VIM.

If you were drivin and your pass had a big reaction to somthing they saw, you would look and not consentrate on driving.
You really think if it was a good idea that they wouldnt do it?

I dont know how good the drivers are were you might live.
But im not kiddin the people out here will **** of a priest.
I do agree the idea is cool, but I know it will leed to some idiot watchin a movie and killin someone in on coming traffic.
I am a rager, and I really try to keep it under controll, but if someone hit my car while watchin a movie, ill send them to the dentist.
Maybe you are the exception and can put a moblie dvd in, but lets be honest, how will you react if I hit your car that you love, while distracted?

Just like with many things in life there are people who are responsible and people who are not. I would hope that most people would act responsibly and can have things like a DVD in the car without crashing. So far its been my experience that they can but alas there will always be someone not paying attention.
I think the problem is that your worried about this one thing, DVD in the car when many many accidents are caused by far more innocuous things, like people talking on cell phones in the car. I noticed you didnt bring that up...

EW's point was it is ANOTHER thing to distract you. Not even Bluetooth is fully effective since you are using a good part of your brain to have a conversation.
Thought about it in my car, but even I stopped watching DVDs in it.

You guys are all right, cell, blue tooth, make up, eating, ect.. Im not saying STOP everything, im just sayin its one more thing that a driver can do other than drive the car.
Ask your selves a question, If you are with your familly, and some one ran a light because they werent paying attention and hit your car, maybe someone gets hurt bad, How would you feel? or react?
By the way I hope you guys are all safe on the road, I dont wish anything bad on anyone.
On another point, someone said that people get into accidents due to other causes all the time. Do you think that reason justifys a smaller amount of deaths due to dvd distractions?. ( You dont really have to answer ) just makeing a point. We have all heard it before, most accidents are preventable,
if everyone drives within there means.

Have you ever heard of someone getting into an accident and they said I just looked at my radio for a second. It happens that quick.

Ya your right about the cell phone's. But thats my point, just look at that as an example. The dvd will be no different.

I happen to believe that the liberties that we enjoy are far more important to keep even if it means some people get hurt and/or killed... Its a founding principal of our country and we should not give our freedoms up so easily. Nevertheless there is no reason why we cannot strive to make travel as safe as possible.
The way to do this is coming and that is to take the human driver out of the loop.. When cars become automated, accidents will become a thing of the past with only the occasional mechanical failure causing
an accident from time to time. Many of us like to drive and Im sure many people will miss driving but overall we will all be much safer.

Dont get me wrong im not an uptight guy, I love to drive and drive fast time to time, I weave, brake hard, time to time aswell, but I alwasy drive defencivly, and get pissed at people who just point and shoot.
Thats were I was coming from.
But I think we should move on to other topic.
Fun to debate this with you. later.

The MidCity Engineering VIM is better. These guys work very closely with MB exclusively. NavTV makes systems for many different vehicles. MidCity's is in my vehicle and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. Easy to install, works GREAT, and less expensive than NavTV's.
Good luck with your decision.

What would the transmission have to do with the COMAND? I don't see why it should not work...but hopefully someone with the 6spd will chime in to ease your mind. The product works exactly as advertised and all that have it are very pleased.
