2003 E320 CDi
Recently got myself a 2003 E320 CDi with the NTG1 COMMAND nav system and from the off it had trouble reading the DVD disc, sometimes working and sometimes giving the can't read DVD message.

Did some research and realised the laser was failing so ordered a replacement from ebay (cost about £12 and was delivered in about 12 days). The one I ordered showed a picture of the correct item with two potentiometers but the one I received had only one, although it did state that it was for a DVD player (not a CD player).

Here's the one I was supposed to get.

From what I can gather if you don't get one with two potentiometers you can only read DVDs.

The attachment is the one I received.
You can only see one potentiometer.

So, will it work?

Simple answer is yes, I've only just tried it so can't comment on longevity but it reads the disc (a copy) almost immediately and works a treat.
Changing it wasn't too difficult but you need patience and a steady hand.
Hope this helps someone.
