How to turn off power to cut power on rear dvd

Hi,

Is there any way to completely turn off the power in my 2014 GL550 after turning off car? My kids keep watching DVD even though car is off. I tried to open and close doors with my key fob but DVD still keeps on. It lasted more than one hour!!!. I can use DVD remote controller to turn off power of DVD, but I'd like to know if there is any way to disconnect power of rear DVD without remote controller.

Thanks,

I don't know since I'm new to having the DVD option but does it turn off if you lock the doors with the key fob remote?

That is what I expected. No.. it only lock the door and dvd in rear side keeps on.
Fortunately, I could start my car even if my kids watched DVD for 1.5 hour.

No it didn't work. When I opened door, command center turned off. But rear dvd was still on.

When I turn the car off and open the driver door, the rear monitors display a message stating the car is off asking if they want to continue watching. If you don't respond everything turns off within 10 seconds or so. I have a 2014 GL350, maybe they changed the setup in the other GL models?

Now, I got it... It was my Kid's fault. They seemed to respond to keep watching in monitor message when I open the driver door. I feels that I am dumb
