Japan Command - Engineer Mode
Hi all. I have finally successfully got a DVD to play on my imported E500. The command (and Car) is from Japan. I have have not been able to play DVD's up until now as they either say "wrong region" or "check your disk"
I now know that the regions are locked to 2 (Japan) and 4 Australian/NZ and Asia. I am in NZ. The disk that worked was region 4 NTSC. If I could remove the region code locking then any NTSC disk would work which is around 1/3 of my collection.
I am going to try burning some DVD's with no region code in NTSC and experiment etc. Not ideal but still.
What I need to do is get into the engineer mode on this unit. I have tried all the threads I can find on this board and others with key combinations but with no success to date.
If anyone has successfully got into the engineer mode on a Japan 02/03 command then please PM me.
P.S The DVD that worked was Batman and Robin the first Black and white series from TV. Hillarious

The dealers here are a bit useless. We tried for around 1/2 an hour to find what we could change using the dealer DAS and nothing was obvious from the menus/places he went into.
I might go back and have another try. Do you know where they need to navigate to?
