But if you have the ML this hack will enable the DVD screen to play when your car is moving.

Here's the DYI step by step:

Duration: 30 minutes
1.)Remove the sliver pieces to the right and left of the wood trim on either side ot the shifter....they are simply held in with clips, they come out up/back diagonally

2.) Re move the shift **** by turning it counterclockwise.


3.)Remove the shifter plate assembly by opening the ashtray door and pull up with your fingers (i slid the armrest back) it is also held in with simple clips.
