The best you can do is to do a search. There are plenty of posts regarding this. Also, please put into your signature where you are located. If its on the West Coast of US, you may be lucky to run into Steve. He can do it with his modified Star Diagnostic....
Good luck!

Whichever one is available (1 of 5)
Jim Laplant is known all around Atlanta. He is the electronic genius after working for local MB dealer for 10 years. He is booked by all the local MB dealers to do retrofits and upgrades for customers. Of course, we also want to welcome Steve to the East coast later in November, right?

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
Might work, and good luck!

If you have a US spec comand head unit, then forget it... The US spec doesn't support DVD, BUT can support SAT radio. That is the difference between Euro and US spec.
If you want to know more about these differences, read this link:
