Rear seat entertainment

Hi I have few questions about rear seat entertainment in W221

1.) Is there possible to lock the rear entertainment in case you drive kids and you don't want them playing around?
2.) Can rear passengers just watch DVDs from changer and rear DVD player or can they access other COMMAND functions such as navigation?
3.) Is there possible to select a DVD from front screen and play it at the rear?

Thanks for answers.

Will you settle for two out of three?
1. Yes. at least on the S600. I assume it applies to all W221s. You do it through the COMMAND system. A simple ON/OFF choice.
2. Don't know for certain about NAV...but it appears from looking at the remote they have volume and DVD choice control only.
3. Yes. been there done that.
Hope that helps!

Both headphones? If only one, make sure you have the Right/Left switch in the correct setting. As for a new head unit, those are blue tooth i believe, not sure a whole head unit is required. Im guessing here...the bluetooth module is separate...right?
