Does anyone know if it's possible to change rear USB videos (displaying on rear screens) from the front screen while the front source is set to Bluetooth audio?

My son is too young to use the remote control, and if I switch the front screen source to USB, I can change the rear video, but when I switch the front source back to Bluetooth-audio the USB video stops playing in the rear screens.

My workaround is to hold the remote up behind the rear screen and change the USB videos, not very safe when traveling down the highway.

That's an interesting one, I haven't used the bluetooth streaming feature on ours yet. I usually get a usb or dvd movie going and then press the xm button so the wife and I can listen to the radio while the kids watch a movie. We get the movie going and then hit the "xm" button and the movie keeps playing. I think the source of your issue is you are hitting the same button (Aux) that also gets the movie going. I'll have to play around with ours and see if I can figure it out. Let us know if you figure it out.

Thanks, let me know if you find anything out. I'm sure controlling DVD's while XM is playing is probably the same constraint that I'm trying to overcome.

Can you play 2 different movies on the headrest if you have 2 kids who want to watch 2 different movies? Just trying to see if it's worth getting the theater package.

I don't think so... you can but a lot of iPads for the cost of the theatre package... we absolutely don't miss having it.

Thank you. I agree that Ipads or any tablets make a better choice, but with limited amount of 2014s left some dealerships are offering a pretty good deal.

Yes, but you have to have a second source, like a USB drive divx movie, or an external portable DVD player. Also, the wireless headphones can be tuned to play the sound for each head rest monitor, while the front seat passengers listen to XM/FM, iTunes, etc.


For example, on a long trip. I can listen to my itunes via blue tooth or the USB jack, while my youngest daughter watches Frozen on a DVD, and my oldest daughter plays a wii game using the RCA video and sound jacks in the back, and the A/C power outlet. My wife reads her Kindle....so everyone is happy.

Rooster has it right. For example,
- Source 1 is DVD (left rear passenger)
- Source 2 is USB (right rear passenger)

The headphones have a left/right switch so they can hear the appropriate audio.

I wonder if you can make the front a 3rd source, e.g. Bluetooth??

For playing the Wii, where did you place the Wii sensor bar?

Between the seat back and the head rest, below the screen.

I tried to get usb movies to play today while steaming Bluetooth audio, I couldn't figure out a way to keep the movie on after selecting Bluetooth audio. ��

You can have three sources... One for the front (while e-brake is on and car is not moving), and one for each of the rear screens.

The designers didn't really think it through. There is the DISC-AUX button that controls 5 or 6 sources and then there are buttons (SEEK, FM-AM, XM, RDM-RPT, SCAN) that are hardly ever used.

Video on today's vehicle doesn't make sense. Tablet or Ipad with sounds coming through the audio is a much better option.
