Default DVD playback

Hi,

I was wondering did anyone know if the GS 350 f sport supports DVD movies on the big in dash screen? While in park? remember reading it somewhere.

I think you have to set the parking brake for it to work

Yeah, it'll play movies parked. The electronic parking brake sets itself, at least on mine.

Werid. So once in park you put in the DVD in the cd slot, the DVD should load itself automatically?

Does your system have to be ML? Or will the premium audio setup with NAV play it too?

Yup. It should automatically load.

ML vs non-ML doesn't matter.

If it's not working for you, I would get it checked out by a dealer.

I was wondering why I can only hear a DVD but never see the picture, I'll try it with the parking brake next time. I typically drive with auto parking brake off.
