Anyone Tried The Comand's Hidden Menus / Backdoor Functions On A '03 R230?

Has anyone tried to activate the backdoor functions / hidden menus / engineering mode for their '03 model R230 (non-widescreen) Comand ?

Seems that above are working for the R171's but curious if someone has achieved this for their 2003 R230.

I have an '03. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the hidden commands. Would you mind filling me in on what they are?

Generally, it allows you to enter the Comand's Engineering mode and change some actions so you can play mp3's, region free dvd's, etc/etc. Also check out foll:
