Question about rear entertainment screens

Hi

Is it possible to get the SatNav to appear on the headrest screens if the vehicle is fitted with RES ?

thanks

The simple answer is no I'm afraid. There may be a way of trying to piggy back the front screen, then converting it to composite video and then plugging it into the Aux video input, but the cost and hassle of doing it would probably be prohibitive.

The simple answer is to just buy a Tomtom for the rear passengers! Whistle

You can get a journey 'summary' though using the remote.

Tanglewood, I think that function is only available on MY14+. I'm sure it wasn't an option on my MY13 HSE Lux, but I could be wrong Whistle

ASUS ZenPad Z170C 7" Tablet

I checked the sizes available, Ipad mini etc, and these seemed to fit best. Bluetooth headsets work a treat.

Had to use the dremel to cut away the plastic inside the headrest for the micro usb. Tight fit but it works.
Bought a couple of DC converters that connect to the 12v supply for the original LR screens: ebay

Using a Huawei E5776 4G for the mobile hotspot in the car

"Are we there yet" from the kids gets a smug reply "check on Google maps" Laughing Thumbs Up
