ANybody heard of this G-Net Video Module for the W211?

I'm trying to find a way to display video from my current rear-only video system onto the command screen.

I don't plan on watching video while driving, but with my small kids in the back seats, I cannot easily navigate through the DVD menu to hit play or whatever without getting out of the car. This way I can see what I'm doing while navigating through the DVD's menu system.

Anybody heard of these guys:

I just called them and they said it'll do exactly what I want. Essentially, you switch bewteen their box and the command's normal signal using the wireless remote. The catch is you have to open up the command unit to install their little circuit board.

Those G-Net modules are hit and miss. If you don't mind spending the extra money, I would suggest a Euro comand instead. The usa comand has to be taken apart to install the g net module. It worked on one s550 and did not work on two 2004 E class cars.

Thanks for the heads up!

How about this:

Do you know if it has the Audio Aux in? I'd like to feed audio from my ipod into it while simultaneously feeding it video from the same ipod. My car is already wired with the ipod connector in the center console and I have the audio and video terminating behind the glove box.
