Yes you can mod it to play DVD. You need to go to a stereo shop or any place that does custom stereo work that you can trust to work on your car. They will install a DVD player in the glove box or trunk or under the seat. you will have a toggle switch to go between both navi and other info screen to the dvd player.

the ODO i dont think they can change it but not positive.

congrads on the new car!

If you have the Mark Levinson system, you can install a module from Prestige Society that will allow you to use your 6 disc changer and nav screen as a DVD player while the car is in motion for your passengers.

There is no easy way to change the odometer from miles to Km and the 08 and 09 GS have the new design grill.

whitegs350, you need the Mark Levinson package to play DVDs. As per 2thfixr, you will need to do a hack if you want to be able to watch DVDs while driving (although this is illegal in Ontario and will result in a $110 fine).

The G Man answered your other questions.

Congrats on the new ride! Did you acquire your car in New York? New? Used?
