Watching DVD while in motion....
Is there any possible way to be able to watch a DVD while car is in motion besides swapping for a Euro Comand?
Before I purchased my '08 E350 last month, I was going to buy a Pioneer Avic Z1 for my other car. There are a couple of different ways to make the DVD work while car is in motion. I was just wondering if there was with this unit.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I just got a quote for a NAV TV method of doing this. According to a well respected shop here in Dallas, I would be able to view DVD or other video source (I already have the VizualLogics headrest DVD setup istalled), on my US spec COMAND screen, AND control my iPod with the OEM steering wheel controls w/ display for around $700 + labor (est under $200). For another $200, I could have a tiny back up camera integrated into the license plate frame (since I don't have Parktronic) - and have it display on the screen as well. All sounds too good to be true? I haven't seen much on the Forums about NAV TV, but was familiar with them in my E39 days......anyone care to confirm or contest this?

The US COMAND goes for about $500 on E-Bay. So, it a relatively small investment to switch US COMAND for European version.
