SLK COMMAND Engineering Menu
I just took delivery of a new SLK 350 in the UK.
Anyone know how to access in the Engineering Menu on the COMMAND? I want to allow playback of DVDs on the move and also enable MP3 Playback (this is disabled on UK models but I am told can be activated via the engineering menu). Using the engineering menu you can also make the DVD player region free.
I was told that selecting Audio and holding down Mute, Phone Hang-Up and Service at the sametime for 45 seconds would do it, but is doesn't seem to work
Any ideas?

some slow@$$diesels
I know that most people don't care about what we type as it usually is not what they want to read - but for those who do want to read it and are actually willing to believe it:
The euro comand (211, 219, 171) software has been updated again and one of the changes has been the HOW-TO-ENTER the developers menu on the comand so that the all-known Ebay selling method is no longer usefull (yes, mercedes does know what is going on on the web).
When one figures (s)he can outsmart mercedes by uploading the older software version into the comand so that the developers menu becomes available again one will find oneself left with a USELESS comand as the comand will NO LONGER accept discs after the software DOWNDATE!!!
If you can find a shop with a tool to versioncode the comand for TV & DVD in motion enabling, they can still help you out (no need to swap the EURO comand out - just get it coded), but that will cost more then a 30USD ebay guide (which only works on a limitted amount of comands anyways...but that is something that Ebay sellers usually don't bother to advertise).
use this info if you want or just plain ignore it like most people do
greetingz,
