Has anyone been able to do this with a STOCK 2005 E500/320? I am able to do the 537 trick and bring up the menus, but setting it to 211ECE doesn't seem to do anything.

I am however, able to play CD or DVD MP3s just fine -- without doing the 537 trick.

Would love to hear from any other stock 2005s who've had success with making changes with the trick that have any visible or audible effects. I really want to hear the Brit chick on my Nav.

Thanks,
Tom

it is not possible to play dvd's on an 05 e class. as for the british voice, changing it to ECE should do it, but i am not sure. remember for the change to occur you will need to change it to ece, turn it off, let it marinate for 5 mintues, then turn it back on. GL

On my 2005 Command unit, the menu just will not come up (as mentioned before). I think they knew we were doing this and disabled it.

I have thrown in all my best porno DVD's and I still can't get a reaction from my COMAND unit.

Maybe we need douse it with German beer before it reveals it's secrets.........

Take your car to your dealer, and talk to the guy who is responsible for the Star Diagnostic System.

Ask him to do the following:

1. Menu “TV in Motion” is greyed out (German: TV während der Fart)
2. Activate the “Rear Seat Monitor” (even if it’s not installed) (German: Heckmonitore freigeben)
3. Then you will have access to the menu: “TV in motion”. Activate it.
4. Go to the menu: DVD-Region. If it’s EUROPE, change it to D (Germany) and back to Europe
5. Give the guy some pocket money

Enjoy, but be aware: It’s your responsibility as a driver to keep your eyes on the road, and leave the entertainment to your passenger!

Ps.
The menus will probably not be exactly as I spelled it, but you/he will find something very similar.
Good Luck! My MB dealer won't do it. I guess I'll try different ones when I travel, maybe I'll have some luck.

Did you check when Oslo posted that message? Times have moved on and adaptions have been mnade to prevent any 'tampering'. There has also been service bulletins issued to dealers regarding this issue.

You are no doubt aware of my opinion on this issue, so hopefully you will understand if I do not wish you luck getting this issue resolved.

regards
John

Sometimes it's better to bring up an old thread to ask questions than to start a new one and have people tell you to do a "search". Hopefully he can get his question answered by someone other than OP.

I think for the 07's you might just have to switch to a Euro Comand.

Just so I know I am reading this correctly, in the United States of America, there is no loophole to activate video in motion? Correct?

I believe you are correct.. I've read the thread and managed to get my 04 e320 to play MP3s on CDs and DVDs but I updated the firmware and was locked out of DVD video.
(found a quarter and a dime inside the player and after I removed I forgot to try the dvd, it was showing dvd and audio cd before on the load screen.. I updated and lost it.. )

After reading the thread it appears the that the 05+ US hardware was updated thus removing video decoding.

A few enthusiastic people have retrofitted their cars with the 04 head but I don't know what that entails..

Best..
