Hello everyone.

I am new to the MB world so play nice with me until I learn the ropes.

Ive tried searching this with no luck. I heard that if you have the rear DVD system you can play the dvds from the front command centre on the back screens. Can someone explain how to get this to work. I tried messing around with it for a bit last night with no prevail.

Thanks

1) have DVD playing in the front
2) Turn on rear screen via remote for the side that you want
3) In menu for DVD turn on Rear Entertainment.

 

mine does not say turn on rear. It just states Aux. and if o go into Aux there is a active aud/vid source for rear
and
rear audio/video off ( then a small aux sysbol)

 

Quick question - in the 2nd row - is that 2nd row DVD player in the Center Console in the back ?

If you have 2nd row DVD slot in the Center Console in the back - then you have the factory installed REAR DVD system that "yes" you can play content from the front in the rear.

If you don't have the 2nd row center console DVD slot - then you have MB dealer installed Accessory DVD system which will NOT play from the front-to-the-back - it will play from rear screen/DVD side slots only.

 

yes I do have the rear centre console DVD slot but still cannot get this to work. Ughhhhh

 

"Active Aud./Vid. Source for Rear" is what I select to get the DVD to show on my rear monitors. Are your rear monitors on? A message should appear when they are turned on, something like, no Active COMMAND source.

 

yes that’s exactly what it says no active command source

 

From your picture it looks like you are using AUX. Do you have an AUX source playing? Or do you want DVD? If you want DVD, on the COMAND screen go to the Video menu at the top and select DVD.

 

Ditto for me.

 

HELLO, Sorry for jumping in here but I just purchased a 2015 gl 450 and can't get audio through the back either. I don't have the dvd player in the middle console. My headrest units get the dvd's inserted from the top and they also have buttons below it, no jacks for audio. And the headphones didn't come with the car. I been reading that any IR headphones work, but how would they get the frequency and how wiuld I choose which headphone goes to what side?
