Yes, it is a matter of installing very few parts and tapping into the brake wire. It'll also allow you to enter destinations in the gps while driving I believe.

We have done this before for a few G55/Sclass. Ali is right there is a VIM kit that is about $300-400, you buy that and have someone install it. Then you have video in motion set. I have never heard of the password change every 8 hours sounds very james bond....

+1 you can do the VIM kit and be done with it, or you can save a few hundred bucks and have to flip a switch everytime you want to do it.

yes, a large business such as a dealer will make you sign a "release form" because it is a huge liability.
