Yes, very good reason. The bypass module works on the cars CAN BUS. The CAN BUS carries various status messages on the car's computer network. Video is processed through the LCD system only. There is no connection between the two.
PLUS there are several tuner protocols in use around the world. In the US, we JUST switched last June to ATSC-MH standard so you can receive Digital TV while in motion (regular tuners wont work in motion due to the doplar effect). However this is ONLY in use in North America. We would have to make so many different units that it would not be practical. It is much easier to have them separate. We make ATSC-MH, DTV and PAL tuners currently, but only one VideoKey unlock.

All the E-Class products are the same. A Coupe is no different than a Sedan or Wagon when it comes to the electronics. In our business, an E Class is an E Class. Engine size, top, or door configuration have no bearing on the electronics/entertainment systems.
Just for the readers that do not know, because we get this question all the time... the numbers after the class (E in this example), denote engine size (roughly). So an E350 is a 3.5 liter engined E class. Again, for our business E500, E350, E55, etc etc are all the same car. Coupe is a 2 door version of the Sedan (4 door). In addition several Mercedes classes share the same electronics. Some examples are:
E, SLK and CLK are the same car entertainment wise.
ML, GL, R and GLK are the same car entertainment wise.
S and CL are the same and the SL is ever so slight a variant of those two.
