the dvd or tv can be enable during driving instead of picture off at more than 10km/h.

the settings can be done from COMAND... enable picture while driving.

First of all, there is a difference in US spec and Euro spec comand head units; the US specs will not be able to play DVDs (whether or not in motion), the Euro specs will be able.

Then, if I am not mistaking, the comand settings can be changed on a EURO spec comand through Stardiagnose! So you will be able to watch DVD in motion (or your passenger, that is... ). paQ, if your DVD while in motion gets blocked every time by the dealer, it means that they are plugging your comand head unit to their Stardiagnose system, which they should NOT need to do when the car is in for service...

In short, if you have a US spec comand, you would need to swap it for a Euro spec in order to be able to watch DVDs. If you want to watch TV as well, you definitely need an additional TV tuner. And... there is always a possibility to connect a rear screen in your S-class (no need for a TV tuner)... Pics of such a retrofit can be found here:
