Enabling DVD and Nav address entry while in motion
BimmerGuru provides a simple software unlocking to enable video in motion on the w212. No need to install hardware. Takes less than 5 minutes and can be restored back to factory settings. Here's a video on how it's done:

How dangerous placing the driver, his passengers and public at risk!

Someone could get killed.

I'd rather pass one car like this on the Interstate, where the wife in the passenger seat is watching a "chick flick" while the disinterested husband has both hands on the wheel looking forward... than passing 30%-40% of ALL cars where the driver is rubber-necking and pecking away on his/her smartphone with one hand, or two.

Self-driving cars will change all of this and we can sit back and watch TV, eat, talk on the phone, look at the scenery go by, and work on our obesity all at the same time.

I'm an early adopter so I've got a jump on the last thing you mentioned there.

A-frekin'-men to that.

This looks really interesting... but not sure if I want to sink $180 into "interesting".

So I guess there is no way to get this to work in a 2011 since there is no usb drive?

So I'd say probably not.

Can't you also do this with a SDS in development mode?

Same question...I have a 2011 Wagon. My kids will pick this over the Odyssey any day...but even moreso if we can get the screen working while moving. I have no interest in watching Paw Patrol, so don't worry about distracted driving!

I think these aftermarket upgrades would be much better -- and more attractive to buyers for the price demanded -- if a more complete list of changes could be programmed into one package. Much better than getting nickeled and dimed for each upgrade desired.

Here's my wish list...

Video in motion (covered)

Navigation entry while in motion. (covered)

Voice reply to Texts while in motion.

plus...

Eco vs Sport Mode default to last position setting.

ECO Stop/Start last position setting (not default to ON)

5-blink lane change

Close trunk lid with fob push (like MB SUVs)

satnavninja,

+1 on DFWdude's list.

Also, can you perform these upgrades on a 2016 E-class?

It seems like the NTG 5.1 from the 2016s is not fully understood. You can't do DVD in motion on these.. but why?
