Nothing MB related (sorry)
If you want to have DVD playback in your 2005 E-class, you have to swap your current US spec comand for a Euro spec comand. That's the only way...

Sounds to me like swapping for a Euro spec Command unit would make far more sense.
Like I said before this is just an alternative, the euro swap is definitely easier but also more money.

I sent my stock factory head unit to NavTv, mounted a 10 disc DVD changer in the truck and installed Alpine monitors in factory S class headrests. It's amazing
I love having a video system in my benz!!!
Have a look.

I also have my ipod that plugs into the glove box. I can run the audio and video off my ipod via Alpine remote. It works off an Apline Video hub. See pics

Hi Everyone
It is now possible to convert ALL MB comand units to a DVD/TV screen. This mod will give you 2 video inputs 1 for dvd and 1 for backup camera. The unit will auto switch to backup camera when you put the car in reverse.
Yes you will have video in motion. If you have an aux adapter your audio will
be via aux, if not we make an excellent FM mod which has excellent sound.
If you have a Euro comand unit we can also release all video locks.
Feel free to call us at 718-763-7367 or email us at sales@tvandNav2Go.com
or visit us at www.TVandNav2Go.com
Thanks Dominic :zoom

I love the front of your E55. Check out the "Twins" in the E55 Forum. The Alabaster white with the CL Grill is mine.
Happy Motoring
