Rear seat entertainment
Does anyone have experience with the rear seat entertainment system? I've managed to save some video on a usb stick and it seems to be working for the rear seat entertainment system. However, it looks like the video doesn't resume from where it was left off.
I so tired of listening the intro to paw patrol LOL, although it sounds like my kids are ok with it. haha |

We like it on our G30 but wife didn't want it on her G05. It seems to pick up on mp4 files right when we power it off but if you change movies it will forget where it previously was. Works great with Blu-ray's too. We bought 2 wireless bmw headsets from eBay for $125 which is a huge discount vs dealer and they work great so we don't need to listen to paw patrol lol!

I've had mixed feelings about it in our G30. RSE's need to be streaming enabled and touch screen. I have picked up a Firestick for streaming using wifi but I cannot do anything about the lack of touch screen. Does the X7 still depend on a remote or are the screens capacitive?

Please tell me there’s a way to lock the rear screens so the kids can’t mess with it. I’ve loved having rear seat entertainment in my last two GL’s, but I’m nervous about all things that can be accessed from the BMW screens. I’m also shocked that headphones aren’t included with the car.

From the front iDrive you can disable the rear screens or allow limited control (not sure what they mean by limited). Also found out the rear seat/climate controls can be disabled by pressing the rear window lock button on the drivers door. I've wondered about the headphone too. Out of three 7 sedans with the rear entertainment, only the G12 "included" the headphones. I wonder if the Genius that delivered my car in Dec '15 gave me the BMW headphones by mistake (and somehow they didn't get turned in with the car last weekend). |
