Apple tv build in.

Hi Guys,

I own a W222 as a private driver in the Netherlands. Since the interface of the media in the car is disastrous and i didn't want to pay €1800 for a aftermarket tvset i've been waiting for the new apple tv to come out. It gives my passengers certain extra's during the ride. Play a game, watch a movie, documentary of my country or connect their iphone with airplay to listening their own music. All made really easy with the apple tv interface. Today i connected everything as a test setup and i'm glad it works Although i came to some things what i don't understand.

1. I would like to see that the command screen and the 2 screens in the back are showing the same thing. Is it possible to make that work ?

2. also it seems that when i am using the screens in the back the sound isn't connected to the command system. is that also possible that i don't have to switch between sources (see attachment)

3. when i turn of the screen in the back and turn it back on it doesn't go back in to full screen mode automatically. is there a possibility to fix that ? maybe a company who can alter everything mentioned above.

Thanks !

Since nobody else chimed in::

You could get the internet WiFi accessory and let the passengers get their media from any std laptop/hand-held/cell-phone.

You mean the max 3G connection with a password that's like 20 digits impossible to change to an own simple password ? don't think that's a functional solution.

I wonder how did you connect the Apple TV to the rear entertainment system,since it doesn't have HDMI port and Apple TV can be connected using HDMI only.

By default, Apple TV Audio output is based on the source audio; stereo for music and surround sound for movies/games.

A DA converter will not convert surround sound to stereo, so no audio will be output from movies or games, just music.

You can disable Dolby Digital but I am not sure if that does it.
That conversion to Stereo requires a Decoder to down mix the sound. Something like this (http://www.intelix.com/intlx_prod_de...item=DIGI-HDAC)

There are cheap ones but these typically cost more than the Apple TV.
