Sounds possible if you get The Video in Motion module / rigging. Very interesting concept of adding the Slingbox into the mix...

There's a couple other threads floating around on this. Radio has to be removed and the new harness / hardware installed which basically overides the MB Factory feature that neccesitates the car to be in Park to watch any DVD's. Once the radio is out it takes 5 minutes...tops.
Here's a video of a similar install

The only reason I am going to get one is I have a ton of Concert DVD's. Figured I'd listen to the music and occasionally at a long light glance down to see The Edge do is thang. My son could also watch his DVD's while we drive up and down the east coast for hockey.

Having said that...the function is over-rided for safety. B carefull.

Here are the directions the seller on ebay sent me.If anyone is looking to or did allready install this type of kit let me know how the install was and how is it.Also is there another audio and video outlet on the radio that i can hookup my ipad to for my sling box and netflix. Cause i dont think the media interface will work for video mirroring .
