Rear Entertainment System Problem....HELP!

Hi guys, here are my problems. A few weeks ago i purchased my second X5, 06 3.0i navi, prem, cold, xenon, RES. I have TV's in the headrests, and am having a problem with the driver side TV. It is in reverse/mirror image. The TV's font/menu/text is all backwards, as if you are looking at it through a mirror. I brought it to the dealer for my 30K service and since it is considered an "accessory", it only has a 2-year warranty and I cannot furnish a receipt for an install date. So if they look at it, I have to pay for it.

What is going on with my TV, how do I fix it???? Is there a setting somewhere that is not correct?

Im assuming its not the BMW TV's for the X. If they're after market TV's not associated with BMW im surprised they'll even touch them. You may have better luck searching the TV model or something on google since its a multimedia issue and not directly BMW related. Unless im missing something like the TV's are tied into the NAV.
I'd go to a local audio install shop before the dealer touches it, as from what I understand the 'stealer' is gonna overcharge.

They are the oem bmw monitors/tv's, they are not aftermarket. Anyone else have any ideas?

Everything is in a reverse/mirror image. Text is from right to left, and so are all the images. It is very strange, because even when the player isn't on, the monitors menu screen is in mirror image. I have a feeling that there must be some kind of setting or switch for the monitor somewhere that must be wrong.

Has anyone here installed the RES and can attest to this?
