Smile '02 CL600 - DVD Viewing Options?

Is there anyway to unlock the factory command headunit in my '02 CL600 so I can watch DVD movies on it?

I read that the US Version does not have a video decoder or something, but maybe there is a way to get around that?

Curiously,
Tom

Seriously?

I wouldn't need some kind of tv tuner kit just to enable my headunit to decode the video signal?

I don't have a euro comand unit...

Regards,
Tom

I think the 2000 - 2003 S/CL head units were DX, not DVD.

I believe DX means CD based for the folks who aren't familiar.
