Engineering Mode

Is there an 'Enginerring Mode' on an 05 SL55 US version?

Or is that only possible on Euro Models of Command?

(I'm looking to enable DVD playback)

I don't believe US COMANDs have the ability to render DVD video. Some can play mp3 audio from a DVD, but not video. You must purchase a Euro COMAND to enable this feature. But you also lose SAT radio in the process.

mcw,

What configuration changes are possible when you enter "engineering mode"?
