The 09' models have the ability to play DVD's but only while parked. Is there a way to disable that feature? Will the 3-5-7 work?

There is some wiring that needs to be done to trick the damn thing. Probably not that difficult but when the stealer puts in his porno DVD you might have a warranty issue.

Wait so if i have my 05 and do the 3-5-7 trick i can watch dvds? If so thats gonna be awesome somebody fill me in on this please.

Did you try it? What was the result? You wouldn't be asking otherwise, would you?

Please search. There are numerous threads on this subject matter; including on what you need to have from the factory.

whats the 3-5-7 trick and will it work on my 08 ?

Alps

will not work, you guys need to search, all the answers are here on the forum, for vim (video in motion) on your w211 you need someone with star dev mode to enable it or buy a $200 module from fleabay.

my wife bought a dvd and she said that it plays while parked but as soon as she puts it in to gear it shuts off. She is out of town so I will have to wait until she gets back to try it.

You can enable video in motion without SDS but it won't help anything if you have a US spec COMAND. Only the Euro COMAND can play DVD's even though the US COMAND will still have the option to enable video in motion.

U CAN MAKE IT SAY AMG ON STARTUP THO!!! THATS EVEN SICCCKER

Ali_E55

was it 3-5-7

or

5-3-7 ?

this option u can change the command system and show ///AMG when u turn it on.


i used the other mode to make the TV works

entering engineering mode and then press * # < for 5 seconds

new 3 options will pop

choose Dr.dis ( driver distraction ) untick all the of them.

Its 3-5-7 and are you pushing * & # at the same time?

Ali_E55

Hammer Down,

So did this trick work for you?
Its 3-5-7 and # & * & left (<) at the same time.

Thanks in advance.

Hammer Down

I haven't tried it on her car yet, isnt that like 6 fingers (<) is that the button next to the ok button or are you saying press the back button. I am only asking because her command unit is different than my Euro Command

Dont know I read "Ali E55" post. Just following your lead.

Hammer Down

I will try when she gets home.

rluvsbenz

I tried 3 5 7 and did not get pass that, nothing happens. My command system won’t play DVD. It displays "INSERT DVD" when DVD inserted.

Ali_E55

no no no,

u got it all wrong ><

go to engineering mode

which is

1: go to audio screen.
2: press mute & phone (hang off/Red ) & service

now you will enter to engineering menu

in the new menu

1: # & * & < ( which is the left button next to OK )

three new choices will appear on the right screen (between Error & end )

2: choose Dr.Dis

3: untick all the options.

4: choose End

5: you welcome :P

thiswill not work on 2005+ commands or commands with the latest updates

Hammer Down

So what does work or does anything work at all? or should I tell her to forget about it?

izzynyc

You guys are killin me with this post . Does this work for on 06'

Peter_02AMG

I try this and it doesn't work for 07 E63

Hammer Down

efff it I'm over it

Alps

guys, anything newer than 2005 or with the latest command firmware update can only have VIM activated via STAR in developer mode, the AMG logo however can be activated in the newer models.

can it be any clearer?

Hammer Down

When you said this I said oh well and was about to move on then someone said that it would work so I kept hope alive but now that I read your last post I just said oh well she will have to get a EuroCommand or see if I can get it turned off via star!
