Watch DVD in front display while moving?

Is there a way to trick the car into playing DVDs on the front display [I don't have/want Splitview] while the car is moving? I have a 2015 S63 AMG.

You forgot that you have to also be eating a juicy burger from Hardee's/Carl's Jr. and a drop of ketchup falls on the edge of your white designo seats and you are trying to grab napkins quickly from the other seat, without knocking over your Big Gulp!

Getting a dealer to do that isn't going to be easy. Too much liability for a dealer. Or you could buy your own star tool $$$. OR the easy way is to install the module yourself, takes 20 min, and it's not detectable at the dealer (see pics I posted above), but a modification via star is.

I admit, it would be nice to be able to 'watch' a movie while driving......it's tempting.....but IMHO it's a terrible idea.......for the driver......
MB has made an effort for the passenger, but knows the driver needs to pay close attention to driving (duh right?)

Exactly! I would NEVER allow watching a video in my car while I'm driving.

PS...Off topic here but I cannot figure out how to program the massage seat and AC on the keypad. You can respond on the appropriate thread if you can give me some details. Thanks!

Bought a star system due to retrofitting Burmester, gave it to my nephew. Should get it back soon and will start messing around with it.

There's multiple options out there. For example my hardware VIM also allows the ability to disable ECO on startup.
