DVD playing while driving - Is it possible???

I know this has been asked before, but I have not been on in a while. Can this be done without aftermarket products?

FYI: IT is so my daughter is entertained while we drive longer trips.

Thanks!

Not without aftermarket. Midcity's VIM kit is needed.

Do you have this kit? If so, easy install? Does it disable any other features, etc?

GLK Parts

Yes, the head unit and radio are the same. The GLK has a Static screen.
The GLK is basically a C-class suv. Interiors and all, check your dealer for parts and put them in the c-class.
