DVD Player!

"The base Audio 20 stereo is a mere radio/cassette, but the Audio 50 brings a CD player, integrated navigation with a 4.9 in display screen and, if a carphone is permanently installed, access to SMS messages and email. An optional CD-changer is neatly integrated into the centre console beneath an electrically powered lid. The ultimate Comand APS system brings a 6.5 in colour screen and a DVD player with TV, watchable at up to 5 mph. Much of this can be controlled from the wheel, and sound quality is excellent thanks to the 10 standard speakers. A Harmon Kardon surround-sound system is an option.

Harman Kardon in Mercedes Benz! That is copying off BMW big time. Mercedes is dropping Bose?

Have they changed the US DOT law allowing OEM TV Tuners with video veiwable by driver?

Are you sure about this?
The reason is that we never seem to get any of the good stuff over here in the US.
Thanks!

Even if it is not brought to the US in as the above package, there are ways to retro fit the systems to watch TV, if that is what you are referring to. I have seen a site that does MB, BMW, Lexus and other conversions.

I think the law is that it cannot be viewable by the driver while the car is in motion.... the new E's system shuts off when the car goes past 5MPH.

There are programmable ways around that... some places offer to remove the restriction while moving...
