Hi all.

I have a new GX coming in with RSES. Dealer told me factory doesn't let you play different content in different screens with factory so they said they would dealer install .

My question is, will the AC outlet support the draw of the Xbox power supply?

My goal is not only for games, but more for online content like Netflix. Who buys DVDs anymore?

Randy B

They are incorrect. I have played Apple Tv on one screen, and DVD on the other and listened to Sat radio on the front all at once. The outlet lets me draw the appletv without any hesitation or heat build up.

Randy, how do you hook up the Apple TV? Do you your cell phone as a mobile hot spot for the Apple TV connect? Thanks

Randy B

Yes, my cell is the hotspot and the appletv attaches via the hdmi on the lower control panel. The remote sorts which monitor gets what source.

Thanks Randy, do you have to get the converter from HDMI to RCA?

Randy B

The 2014 Factory RSES comes with HDMI built in, so full lines of resolution throug hthe control panel in the vehicle.

Thanks, but the Apple TV is can only connect to one for the two rear screen right? Or it show on all three screen including the front one? I am thinking tip hook up the Apple TV up front

thats nice. i didnt know that.
how do the screens in your 2014 gx compare to a tablet or smartphone. Is the pic quality just as good. i didnt think it was so i didnt bother with the RSES.

The only reason I ordered it was because it came with the HDMI for this model year. Previous years did not have that option. This year it's a full digital system and you can see the difference. I didn't like my kid constantly looking down in the lap with an IPad. The headrest mounts are too protruding for the short distance available in the rear seats of the GX compared to my LS430. My LS430 has an IPad mount on the passenger seat. With the car essentially being a "Long" back seat the distance is safe enough for me.

Ohio: I have no idea if it streams as well to the front screen. I have yet to use that feature, although I imagine that may change with the override box I have sitting on my desk to install this weekend. We don't sit and idle for front passengers to watch what the backseats are doing. I'm not a big fan of having video available while we are moving up front anyway, so I don't see that override option being used much if any. My kid is older now, so I no longer need to see what the buttons to push on the remote.
