Regardless of old or new Euro COMAND (NTG1), Video-In-Motion can be enabled on W211 COMAND with SDS.

good to know, thanks. Would this method also work?


The Engineering MENU is accessed by pressing [MUTE], [END] & [SERV] simultaneously - hold for about 8 seconds. When the MENU screen finally appears press[*],[#],[Left Arrow] and hold it for a few seconds -- the first italicised option on the right will allow you to set the DVD in Motion feature.

This method you provided works only if the Euro COMAND has firmware "SW-Rel 9.390 Build 17/04 announced at 26 Nov 2003" or older installed. Otherwise, (i.e. "SW-REL 21.090 30/06 announced at 18 Jan 2007") any newer firmware currently not possible to get in Engineering MENU to unlock VIM, even latest SDS has removed the option to enable VIM.

However, if someone still has the old SDS with Developer mode enabled, it can still be done. I knew that because I have "SW-REL 21.090 30/06" firmware installed and VIM unlocked using SDS at the same time.

2009 w211 has NTG2 COMAND. Unfortunately, currently is not possible to enable it with software solution. Maybe you can buy an after market adapter to enable VIM.
