Rear Infotainment System - HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Everyone - I have the rear infotainment system and I know its not a common feature for many but I am sure someone can shed some light here. I have the wifi set up for the car (not bad, about 20 bucks per month).... The rear screens connect to the wifi and I can go to You Tube etc... but I can't seem to get any of the streaming services to work like Amazon Prime and even Disney Plus... For Disney Plus, its says "unsupported" and for Amazon Prime, it says you need to the "latest version of Chrome".... Does anyone know a fix? Anyone I can call? This is an android system so should work with streaming services if you log in and are connected to a wifi.... Has anyone been able to get these to work? Youtube works well though... Outside of Youtube, how can you watch movies? Seems that the system doesnt have the correct requirements. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, don’t have the rear infotainment in my vehicle so can’t help but was wondering if you see anyway to “cast” to the system? Have you tried to see if there’s an option from your phone or other devices?

havent tried but i would imagine the point of the rear screens is so you dont tie up your personal devices... especially since you have wifi in car...

I would agree. Just wondering if that would be a work around until MB figures it out.
