Hi

Could someone be kind enough to tell me where the standard DVD player is located in the car? Assuming it has one.

As some of you are aware im looking at buying a 2004 S55 (the thread asking about the S55 as a 4 seater). The chap has said its got the TV function in the front and back but is not sure if it has a DVD player aswell.

He's saying one CD slots in the front (near the command unit) and theres a 6 CD Changer in the boot/trunk. The 6 disc changer in the back is obviously only for music CD's, but i wonder if the front one doubles up as a DVD player aswell, or would it say it anywhere on/near the command unit?

Thanks.

There is a DVD slot in the command unit. I tried a DVD in mine, the audio will sound but you won't get video - disabled for U.S. But you may have better luck.

The video is disabled so the driver wont be watching the DVD while driving. The slot is located under the command screen, the screen moves up about 1/2 inch when you choose to load a CD/DVD.

If it's an 04 you will have a factory oem DVD comand player, in the front slot.

push the eject button below the the screen then chose dvd and it will move the screen up

I was just about to ask wether it would actually be disabled when the car was moving or in "D"?

This car has 2 screens, one is the command unit, the other is between the 2 front seats for the rear passengers. So what should happen if i put a DVD in the slot, will i get video up front? Or will i just get video at the back?

And these DVD players are not region coded are they by any chance?

er . . . . just noticed from the pictures that the command screen doesnt seem to move, the CD slot is actually just above the screen. So now what???

Ok, went to view the car today and it turns out the Sat Nav DVD was in the slot above the screen.

Took that out and put in a normal DVD movie and . . . . nothing

It didnt seem to pick it up, didnt play and i didnt even get any audio.

But it does have the TV button.

I do agree with your opinion, putting an ordinary diode in the + line for a convenient 0.6V to 0.7V drop is a wise choice, I prefer getting a headrest set for amusing guests on back seat.

Well, i bought the car anyway, as it turns out it didnt have a DVD player in the trunk, as seen below. But the TV Tuner just under the CD changer has 2 x AV inputs, so any suggestions as to what kind of a DVD player i can plug in through there?

Oh, and this is the Comand unit it has. As you can see, no moving screen on it. The CD slot is just above the screen.
