Passenger video on the move
I’m picking up a new 2025 cla e premium plus today.
It has a screen for the passenger.
Can I code past the play video when parked restriction and if I can what tools do I need?
Thanks
Iggy

- This car has a completely new software architecture and Operating System MB.OS. Do ask @BenzNinja if he has anything for it yet but I have doubts. My Carly tool cannot yet even read the car.
- Owing to the sophisticated setup that monitors the driver when the passenger is watching video and reduces / disables when the driver is no longer paying attention to the road I think that you are in any case unlikely to be able to circumvent this restriction.
- Obligatory safety waffle about attention to the road 🙂

Works perfectly in three of my cars...we can pick, either backseat. The E we can put a DVD it the dash and play it on one or both rear screens. The other E there is a player under the seat too...you can pick dash or seat. On the GLS there are a ton of options to play video while you are going 130mph watching the Fast and Ferious trying to get the Florida Super Speeder arrest.
YES, I am an old man, yes I am cranky. There is NO REASON to play movies or any other thing on the dash while driving. Even the passangers should have some semblance of situaational awareness (unelss they are in child seats).

I’m a very aware passenger, probably too aware, due to over estimation of danger and an intolerance to uncertainty and of course being old and grumpy.
Some times a distraction as a passenger could be a good thing, depending on who’s driving

Screens in the back are something I’ve always wanted, it’s the idea of it that does it for me.
