Can they both be installed at the same time?

yes you can

but you have to have a "A and B" switch for DVD and VCP.

wait are you going to install yourself or you are talking about OEM. if OEM i don't think they will do it for you

I'm doing it myself. Don't worry I have all the instructions and I do this stuff for a living. The paper work is just not clear about it. Some of the instructions imply that they can be plugged in at the same time.

I've installed the OEM entertainment system on an ML with both DVD and VCR, it can be done.

I think I have all the instuctions from the dealer but it doesn't talk about both. Do you just plug them both in and where do you put them under the seat? Any help would be appreciated, I'll be installing them this weekend.

Got the DVD in today and found out that it mounts under the middle seat so that explains that. Now the only question I have is if you can plug them in at the same time. I get the rest of the system on Monday so I don't know if it comes with a user manuel.

Awaiting a new arrival...
Keep me posted on your install and findings, I'll be doing my VES install very soon. Can I ask how much you paid for the DVD, if it is indeed the MB version? Thanks.
