2008 GL550 Rear Entertainment DVD player picky
Has anyone had issues with their DVD movie player playing some discs and not others. It seems to play a few discs as well as audio CD's fine, but does not play any Newer Disney DVDs among others. It gives an error which reads "Disc error,wrong format". I am not playing copied discs nor am I putting in BLuray discs. I already ran a lens cleaner. Two dealers I have called are stumped on the issue. The only think I can think of is a possible update?? This is my first German car and I am not familiar with command updates, just heard of them. If I can fix this, I will have a very happy 4 year old daughter.
Thanks

I feel your pain. That's why I went with the cheaper mobile alternative by Philips that clips to the headrest. If it should fail, I would be out of $120 instead of $1200. It's been running great for the past 3 years.
DVD's are becoming more obsolete, you can buy 3 of them from the WalMart bargain bin for about 10 bucks. Stores are just trying to get rid of them, it seems.
May I suggest purchasing a new or refurbished Ipad Mini in a protective case (for drops). The 10 hr battery will keep your girl entertained for long trips and you can connect/daisychain the wifi from your phone to get internet/YouTube.
