There are many choices for DAS/Xentry Diagnostics for MB.
Ensure you have the right information before getting one. There is too much misleading info.
I’m a forum member and programmer who’s learned the hard way. PM me if you have any questions.

Have you actually tried this in any US SL500/550 with NTG1?

I doubt it, or you would know it doesn't work. Moreover, the ability to play DVD in motion would work better if the NTG1 actually had the ability to play a video DVD at all, which it doesn't. It plays the audio portion but no video regardless of whether you're stopped, parked or in motion. I seem to remember reading somewhere the US based NTG1 models don't even have the video decode hardware populated.

So the usefulness of this DOC is limited. Please mention that at the top of the document so users don't get frustrated trying to make it work in vain.

I think your document should also have that disclaimer in it.
