    Hi all
    my Q7 4M is pre-wired for Rear Seat Entertainment, and I see the screens turning up on ebay quite cheaply (relative to new).

    However many of the reviews appear quite grim!. Some suggest these are just basic android tablets with little if any integration to the car MMI. I Assume one could load Netflix and download movies in advance and then play in the car? Can Navigation information or any MMI information be displayed?

    Some also appear to suggest that the default operation mode is these tablets assume thay have full internet access and with that are limited?

    Any user opinions welcome.

    Thanks

    Hugh

    I got two screens included on my ex demo etron.

    You’re right - they are just android tablets with a skin applied to them. No integration to the car, other than the MMI apps that you can download from the iOS or Android stores.

    They’re very low on memory - even preventing you from updating all the default android apps to the latest versions because of space, and being very picky about installing anything else.

    Having said that, I’ve managed to install YouTube Kids and some other apps and it keeps my nearly 5 year old happy. I do have my own sim in the car though, so we have Wifi (£9 per month to add an extra sim to my EE contract, and can share my data allowance)

    I do have a wireless hard drive in the car with some films and kids tv shows, to save on the data usage.

    Hope that helps

    Perfect, exactly what I needed to know. My kids are beyond that age so even free are probably not worth the bother.
    Thanks!
