No, not true. The stock stereo comes with a CD changer.

Bring a DVD and ask the saleperson to demonstrate (you'll find that it is unable to play DVDs in a CD player).

Navigation is a seperate DVD player. You NEED ML to play DVD video's.

Yup, only ML comes with the in-dash DVD changer; anything else is a CD changer. Get a new salesperson, or better yet take a DVD in and prove him wrong, and then demand a discount for false advertising.

A DVD is a DVD is a DVD...and a CD player won't read it regardless.
