I use the same navigation map software in my S-Class, but with the TravelPilot, also made by Blaupunkt. The difference is that the TravelPilot uses a completely digital receiver instead of the analog receiver MB selected for the COMAND. The digital receiver interfaces to the CD such that it can also play audio but unfortunately this is not possible with the analog receiver. Just use a fiberoptic changer.

As I understood S class has Nav 2.5 which can not play CDs. The rest of MB has Nav 2.0 which can play. It's stupid, isn't iit? New Nav can play DVD, but will be available from '04.

FYI, in the 04 or newer S classe the Nav. DVD does not play a consumer DVD. The actual head unit does, however the USA command only lists the chapters no picture and no code to activate any video.
