Rear seat entertainment ok or a bust?

ATT is not the primary wireless provider here but I have a few friends that use it. For the hell of it I turned off WiFi to see what I get with the internal Verizon 4G speeds.

The theoretical limit of LTE is 50MBPS. You’ll get higher Speedtest readings if
cache has pages the test hits. Clear your
cache and try it again.

My Verizon note 10.
Is 100mps on speed test.

Can it be the cell hot spot is in a bad location? But that does not make sense b/c full bars of lte service displays on the radio.

I dont get it.

But I do know 1mbps is not going to work!

I just bought the main screen for fun.

I will tear it apart and reverse engineer.

Stay tuned

What are your goals? 2nd input? Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I didn't have a chance to do some speed tests today. I don't recall seeing an LTE logo when I did the last tests. I'll have to double check that is activated...

Here’s my car LTE speed with a cleared cache.




And here is my $74 solution to RSE

Carrymccarr,

How are you strapping that from flopping around?
I fear if you have to stop fast, that dvd screen might smash into the main screen shatter the main touch screen.

I’m not and it will. I live dangerously.

Seriously though, I’m sure my daughter will just hold it. My son is way past DVD stage and will be on other devices.

If she really wants it up there I’ll probably just loop a strap around it and under the lid of the center storage unit.

Test the same setup on your tv in the house, see if you get video.

You might be sending a high resolution to ancient technology.

@Vipersinu2
Mind sharing how to get to the OS? Do you have to take them apart or is there a way to access via buttons? Thanks!

I got my 2018 Expy Max with the RSE already installed. Not something that I looked to purchase. But, I found a good deal on this vehicle and it just worked out. We've been on one trip and my 3 year old loves it. The 1 year old twins don't care (since they are still rear facing anyway). I got a 64GB cruzer thumb drive with about 8 movies on it now that he can shuffle through.
One problem I see is the headphones that are included with the RSE. They are defiantly not the best. I would like to have control of the system in the Driver console area. That would help cut down on the amount of questions that you are getting along the way.

Finally got a chance to spend some time with the Roku and it does really well with the built in Wifi. I just read it will function as a cast device so you can cast from any device on the network and control with your phone. Hopefully Lincoln's built in wifi firewall will play nice. I will have to try that out tomorrow...
