Is this method applicable to US cars, or just to European?

European model tested

The COMAND from 2004 has a lot more hidden features like unlocking TV and DVD in motion for the European market (the comand in the US is different even if compatible) and the MP3 playing feature in the CDs and DVDs under certain conditions.

As for the DX COMANDs the TV in motion feature for who has the TV tuner (Europe only) is not unlockable by hidden menus or the Star Diagnostic tool in Mercedes dealership but you can unlock this feature with other party companies.
