Hate to sound so "green", but there is so much to get to know on this wonderful car.

Thanks for any help in my confusion.

Congrats on the new car. It's a DVD changer but you can only watch movies with the parking brake engaged. You will only get sound if it's not engaged. There are a few bypasses out there that will let you watch movies while the car is in motion if you want that.

I have.. something... installed in my car. It activates by long-pressing 'track up' button on the steering wheel. It have 2-3 modes which are cycled with that long press.
In mode 1 i have tv tuner (some chinky one) pic output to screen (also when moving), BUT i have no dvd unblock and nav stops routing.
In mode 2 i have car as stock.
In mode 3 (my fav!) i have DVD unblocked AND nav routing/working.
I DO NOT know what is the unit installed in my car (bought it with that installed). I have NO manuals. But IT WORKS!!!! I watch dvd on the go AND enjoy satnav. Most of the times 'mode' selection survives car off/on!

Any ideas? I thought it _might_ be PS, but i cant find a manual to compare the behavior. Yes, i googled. Nothing.

Oh, and my car have auto-parking. Have read that 'no unblock solution works with auto-parking cars yet', and got an email from VAIS saying exactly that.

Hi all

Just figured out that the ML system will not play blu ray but a regular dvd played beautifully.

Will look into the work around after a bit. Not sure if I will be using this much or not, but nice to know it has the feature.

Thanks to all who figured out the option and the links to work around.
