No, you need an aftermarket module or hack.

It's nice to be able to do that, but it's not worth it in my opinion. My aftermarket LCD can play video while driving, but I don't like to constantly look into the mirrors to watch out for cops, so I never really play it while driving.

no reason to be paranoid of cops. just do it.

i used to have 5 screens on my old maxima, along with a playstation 2 (was the hot thing back then).
used to play games with friends on car meets.
I also used to turn on music videos almost always.
never got pulled over for this in NY.
but i've been pulled over for a lot of small BS, such as tints, loud exhaust, no license plate in front, loud music. heck i once got 6 tickets for all 6 tinted windows, LOL.

Either the MidCity Engineering Video In Motion module, or these guys will sell you an SD card that contains the software to defeat the park lock function.

I believe as long as it has an SD slot the software solution works. MidCity VIM should work as well. A guy named Jason Burtman on the W221 forum owns a company that distributes MidCity stuff so I usually get it thru him.

All the info you've given the OP is wrong.

1) Is it possible to watch movies off a SD or USB? Yes it is, if you have the COMAND system

2) Can you unlock it to have your passengers watch while in motion? Yes, you can either do a hardware install or a software install to unlock

3) Will Audio20 work? No, Audio20 is not capable of playing video files

Yeah, that's why I said "I believe" and posted a link to the software source so he could figure it out, and the name of a guy for the hardware source if he wanted to try that route.
