2018 Rear Entertainment Initial Feedback

[Garrett]

Yep! Would rarely use that setup, but curious if it's possible.

So...is it possible?

Has anyone else been able to find the manual for the RSE online? I have not so I am sharing the PDF that was on a disc included with the headphones and remotes.

Just an update all the manuals are on Ford’s site now. I downloaded them prior to heading to FL to read on plane so I knew what I was doing on trip home. It sort of worked.

Can anyone tell me if the RSE can play Blu-ray Discs? I can’t seem to find any information on this. Thanks!

It kept spitting the Blu-Ray out. I might be doing something wrong but don't think so.

Blu Ray didn't work for me either. Haven't tried streaming yet, but DVD works just fine.

BluRay is not supported on the RSE, it’s just DVD. You can stream from an Android device as well, I don’t think it works from iOS. Played with the system a bit, but had no intention of buying an Expy with the system unless I found one that also had everything else I wanted. Not impressed with the entertainment system at all... It’s actually rather pathetic considering the price. I had the RSE in my 2012 Expy and it was problematic to say the least, repaired multiple times. And this system feels even cheaper and less refined, given the tech that’s available and what they could be doing with it.

The audio lag is a product of the Bluetooth audio processing through Sync, not the RSE. Connect the monitors to a portable bluetooth speaker and the lip sync is no longer an issue.

Could you please help me with this? I ordered a little bluetooth speaker today with a carabiner to clip onto the headrest. When I tried to pair it with SYNC, I got an error that the speaker was not compatible. When I paired it with the headrest, I got the same lag as through SYNC. When I plugged the audio cable from the speaker into the headrest, the audio aligned with the video. It's not elegant, but at least we can all hear the audio without the kids having to use headphones.

On a separate not, the passenger video screen has been flaky since almost the day I got it; the buttons would blink red and the screen would flicker, even when turned off. The dealer finally replaced the headset last week, but when I was out getting this speaker set up the lights were blinking again and now the screen is flashing with static. Back the dealer I go...
