Just bought a new benz. Can anyone tell me how to turn on the DVD playback picture? The picture just fade away, only hear the audio.
Thanks

corkscrew,
sleepwalker said your video player can be enabled while in Park. The dealer needs to do it using Star Diagnosis.

Does it play video if the engine is turned off? Otherwise, it makes no sense to have one.

RE: DVD Playback
Something isn't quite right. I know for a fact that aftermarket installers install DVD players that play video when the car is stopped. I don't know the specifics about whether the trans in park or the engine is off, but they play video when the car isn't moving. This is some strange M-B rule and not a US law.

As I said, both of my MBs in Bangkok can play DVD visuals as long as the car is either in Park or the hand break is on or the engine is off. Granted Bangkok (Thailand) is not noted for its street safety (drivers ignore zebra crossings and you can pass on the verge plus there are lots of other unsafe road things) but the country does not cacoon us to death.
To be frank....I do not really feel the need to watch a DVD from the front seat of my car....I use the machine to take me from A to B and a radio or a GPS and a phone is all I need. But, I think it is silly to build a DVD into a car and say that you can't use it even if your car is dead in its tracks.

I agree with you. Maybe MB is afraid of some weird lawsuit if they allow a front seat DVD visual in one of their USA cars. Perhaps they think someone will find a way to watch a movie while rolling the car down a long hill with the engine off. I would really like to know who and why this decision was made.
