DVD Playback
Ok, so my daughter's been bugging me to try to playback Little Nemo in the car. I've never tried, so I thought what the heck. Popped in the DVD but the screen just says "picture dimmed so that driver is not distracted" or something to that effect. Is there a way to over-ride this and get a picture on the screen? Audio is fine. Looked in the owner's manual, but it isn't very clear.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Nothing MB related (sorry)
US spec DVD comands for the W215 can't play movie DVDs. That is, no picture. Euro spec units can, BUT they don't support Sirius SAT radio...

do a search on the word 'dvd' in this forum. many websites, company names, and relevent tips. also, i highly recommend 'raging bull' for your kid's viewing pleasure.

*sigh* Ah well...should have assumed it wouldn't and couldn't be THAT easy! 
Shame though...
Thanks for the help folks.
ps. Phat, since kids are so "contemporary" nowadays and don't appreciate the classics, I was thinking more along the lines of Saw II or the recent version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre to mentally scar her for life.
...just kidding, I wouldn't do that!

i was in the same predicament. i wanted to play dvd's on my comand unit but i didn't want to deal with running wires, install, etc. i just didn't want to re-live my college days of an audiophile, dumping money into my honda prelude. that is to say i didn't feel comfortable doing it to my CL. i am sad though because it would have been so nice to have that feature. oh well.
p.s. 'if you liked nemo, you'll love -Requiem for a Dream-, just kidding..um not for kids...not for kids.

Ah, I must be so "uncool" in her eyes
I imagine by the time she's a teenager she'll be thinking 
of her old man.

The Exorcist I think I was like 12 when I went with my mother to go see it. thats after I had read the book ... to this day it still hits the spot ... even though I have seen it 100000 times ...
