I'm surprised something like this didn't hit the net sooner. I know someone would figure this out sooner or later. I'd bet that it is real.

I thought that we didnt have the hardware forthe DVD player. second, if you already have the Euro unit does it shut off at a certian speed?

Right...I thought US Command has no DVD capabilities.

Only some of the 2003.5's for the Nav fiasco have it, but none other do. See MBenznl.com for a full comparison.

Yes it does 5kph rings a bell.

I am totally 100% against activating this facility and I guarantee that everyone who does it, states they don't look, it is there solely for the front seat passenger. Yeh right... Never ever look .......

Sorry had to duck, a pig just flew overhead (he was even watching a DVD)

U can get into some of that stuff by hiiting 3+4+6+MUTE buttons.
I didn't look around much.. was too cold outside. Might play some more tommorow.

One thing I did notice was under Error (Fehler in his pic) that I had some errors reported and it reports the milage when the error occured. All were higher than what my odometer reads. Are those in kilometers maybe?

Not much more details I can give right now as I was only in the car for a few minutes last night (midnight or so and snowing).
All I did was press 3 and 4 and 6 and MUTE at the same time and the Engineering Mode menu popped up.
Shows Software, Hardware, MOST, Devices, Error.. stuff like that.
All I did was look at what devices were installed, errors and a couple of the software versions.
From there I think you can get into the DVD specific menu.. probably another key sequence. Not sure if it will even work on my car.
One thing I did notice was it listed a DVD in the devices menu, but it showed it as DVD-ROM.. which I think is the NAV drive. Others were CD based (CD and CDC).
Oh..my car is a 2005 E500.

One thing I forgot to mention..
I've seen on here that the Comand is upgradeable via CD or something.
I don't have this CD, but if I did (or the files off it), I could reverse engineer the software and hopefully tell what can be done on it.
I do reverse engineering for a living.. mainly on automotive PCM's.
I've gotten into the PCM on my E500 already and I'm currently writing tuning software for it. 300HP is just not enough
