Rear Entertainment System

Just got my 2022 with the RES and it is a little disappointing. I'm seeing the same as Stacy above. No syncing and seats for 6 but only two people can listen. How can there be no audio output other than the headphones? Also, seems you can't connect more than one bluetooth device to each at a time (if you could, i could buy more headphones). Big waste of money in my opinion, could have bought 10 tablets for the price of these two.

I just picked up my 22 with the REC. No DVD player and I can’t control the back screen output from the giant-a$$ screen. My three and six year old can’t navigate the fireTV remotes and I also can’t get them to mirror.
I called Amazon and they said that the 22 exp and the Lincoln Navigator are the only ones with the FireTV REC that don’t allow control from the front screen panel. I also found out that since FireTVs are not iOS, I can’t mirror my iPhone to them. The audio for the tablets won’t sync with the car system so you have to wear headphones to hear it. They provided 2 pairs, but it seats 6 people back there. I tried to pair my own BT headphones with it and it only allowed me to pair one device per screen. So 3 of my kids have to watch the show in silence. I guess I can turn on subtitles and count that as their reading.

I’m with you, give me a DVD player and access to control it from the front. We also live in the BFE and don’t have cellular service sometimes, so the wifi/streaming doesn’t work and I have to crawl back there to figure it out and restart it for my younger kids. First world problems, but if we pay this much for a vehicle I want it to work!

Can you stream? Mine are not streaming for Disney plus, Netflix or YouTube and my dealership is trying to tell me that is normal and they are only for mirroring from your phone or tablet. Horrible experience trying to work with ford for this Amazon/Voxx system.

they can stream. you have to set them with wifi -either the car's if you still are within your 3 months of purchase or to a cell phone. My car is connected to my cell phone as hotspot when I turn on Wifi sharing on my phone. the problem with that option is that I cannot use Android Auto at the same time. On long trips, we would use Ford Nav or Waze/Google on my wife Iphone while my device serves as a hotspot with Bluetooth connection to the car if not using the iphone for maps. It still remains a stupid worthless system in that you cannot play video sound in high definition in the car. You can connect each headset via bluetooth as a phone to the car and the Screen's content would be piped through the car's speakers but there is the usual low quality Bluetooth sound lag and poor sound quality.
