hello to you all ive just bought an e55 2003,i have tried to watch a dvd on the comand but the words no dvd appear on the screen.i tried another one in case it was the disc but got the same, no dvd,is this because it does not play dvd or is there a fault,if i press the video button i have the choice of dvd or tv, the tv works perfectly well. im not interested in having working while vehicle is moving,just stationary.any help or advice greatly appreciated.thanks craig

Only the comand APS will play DVD, your car is just a little to early for that

This is odd as if it plays the navigation DVD then it should play normal DVD's there is a software update, done by a CD at the dealers but nothing else listed

I had a look on the data base, if it will not play a navigation DVD then the processor in the comand unit has to be changed

Then as far as I can go is to say have the update CD in the head unit, this will also fix any zone blocking that may be incorrectly set
