Hi,
First off this site is a fantatsic mine of information. I have discovered that my 2007, R Class Comand APS unit will NOT play DVD's. Damn.
As this seems a relatively common question can I suggest that the moderator makes this answer sticky at the top, or is there a Common Question section I can't find? Here is an excellent post that killed my hopes

and this may relieve some of the pressure off of Alfie and Richard!
So my questions are:
Full Post Codes. I currently can only enter the first part of a post code. The DVD disk says version 4, the car is an 07 plate.
Can I upgrade to allow the full post code?
IPOD Integration. I Currently have a CD Changer, and would like to add IPOD integration. Looking at Commandonline web site, it appears I can get
http://www.comandonline.co.uk/product.php?productid=16142&cat=249&page=1
IPOD Kit.
Will this allow me to keep the CD-Changer?
(My Car is pre-wired with a bluetooth cradle, so no need to enable the phone with star I believe?)
DVD Input into COMAND APS. Reading the forums it appears that I can (I DO NOT WANT THIS TO WORK WHILE IN MOTION) but I am confused as to what I would need. It appears that I might need the TV Tuner which sounds like a non-starter in terms of time and expense, or something from NAVTV ( I would prefer to use genunie Merc stuff TBH) as the Video button only works if you connect up CANBUS/MOST rather than just audio and video source.
So , can I connect a DVD player to the Video IN on my Comand, and if so any ideas where I can buy this? (It's not on the command online site...)
Sorry for the long post!
Thx in advance.
Rob.
