Yes cars screen.

There's no option for phone screen mirroring on the W205 COMAND, and video playback of any kind is disabled while the car is in motion.

Climb in the back seat and use an iPad.

Well... there are "trickster" ways to get it done - some is kindof semi-intensive - that are best executed by a competent installer - and you need to know the limitations up front.

If you have COMAND - a video bypass gets you part of the way - using DVD in the COMAND system which will run in motion.

The other more intensive - and can be adapted to Audio 20 - there are Video-Integration interface unit/box that gets installed - then for iPhone - a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter ion the console - to video feed your iPhone screen up to the center screen - there are common resolution "issues" depending on content - then audio is normally Bluetooth or Aux hardwire.

The video interface can also be used to add front camera if you want that too.

Two "reference" sources on East Coast - Naviks is one source of the gear rather than blind from HK/China - Moving On Sound on Long Island or Rocco's Auto Tech in Costa Mesa for experienced guidance on the gear/install but best used if you plan to order the gear from them if you are not a local install opportunity.

Exactly what I do! Besides, it's cheaper and I can take wherever I go.
