Thanks

If you want to have a video input into the MCS screen, Nav-TV (http://www.nav-tv.com) will do that - for around $1200 - but what you get is just a video input - for audio, you have to use an FM modulator / cassette adapter / etc. And you'd still have to get an aftermarket DVD player and set it up, so it's not really worth it...
Hope this helps

You will not be able to play DVDs simply by putting a DVD in the COMAND DVD navigation slot.
However, just yesterday I met a former MB technician who can install a standalone small DVD player in your glove box (or below it) as well as a small device that will allow the DVD player's sound and video to play on your COMAND screen. It was installed in a 2005 ML500 and I worked beautifully. PM me if you want additional info.

Video is only possible through a firmware/hardware modification such as that from Nav-TV and others, and audio is only possible through something like an FM modulator / cassette adapter / amp connection.
Unlike COMAND, there is no direct A/V input possibility in the MCS.
