probably needs an ACM retrofit... It is not for the RSE, but it is for the front... I am on diff computer, so i don't have my PDF manuals for retrofitting, but if you search the forum and the internet at large for the ACM, you might be able to find something... I have a topic somewhere on this forum about the ACM... folks in europe might have resolved this already...

The CIC does not have a video output, so you'd need the appropriate interface. Once you have video coming out of the CIC, the RSE screen has an unused input, that will accept a composite signal. Unfortunately, you'd be doomed to listening to the DVD that's being played, which is why the people I spoke with in Germany suggested using an aftermarket DVD player, mounted in the glovebox, and connected to the CIC through their A/V input. That way, the RSE remains a seperate system, if you want it to be, or you could play the same DVD on both screens at the same time. When you want to, you can then change the CIC source and leave the RSE playing its DVD. The headphones would still work too.

There is an "enable RSE" in the BMW code but not an "enable RSE output" in the code, or at least I'm told there isn't. There is only an audio connection between the RSE and CIC.

muddycharles, Pantera1,

I just follow your threads, I'm in the same situation trying to achieve the same result the 09 X5 with pre-LCI using the CCC instead of CIC. RSE for the rear, movie sounds can play with all speakers in AUX-REAR channel. Front has the backup camera can show the video feed. With this config, the Front does not have the DVD option, only the Nav with DVD slot, not sure if it can play DVD movie which I doubt. Is it way that I add option or code with additional channel for DVD movie?

1) Code the X5 for VIM (video in motion) and then use the front DVD player, and figure out how to connect the front video player output to the RSE.

Benefits:

Allows both front and rear passengers to see same video
Allows for sound
Full IDRIVE control of the front DVD

Disadvantages:

No IPOD video output control (as I have not figured out how to view video on front screen from iPod using USB - seems to only allow music - is this correct?
CHANGING FRONT DVD WHILE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS AT BEST
No separation of RSE and front Audio (using RSE headphones for movie, while front passengers listen to music.)

2) Code X5 for VIM (video in motion) and do the reverse....... Figure out how to display on the FRONT screen the output from the rear screen.

Advantages:

Sound should work as it already does
View front and rear same DVD in rear player

Disadvantages

No IDRIVE Control - would need to use RSE REMOTE
DVD only - no iPod
EVERY TRY TO CHANGE THE REAR DVD WHILE DRIVING BAD IDEA



Option 3) Code front for VIM, and figure out how to connect in IPOD so that front and rear see the same input from the IPOD (this might be accomplished though the aux in ports on the RSE. You would need to have a VIDEO splitter with a new video input in front display as well - I have yet to find an ipod cable that splits video output (IE two sets of video and audio outputs).

Benefits

This is probably the most doable as adding another video input to the CIC seems to have been done before and the rear RSE has an AUX input (would need to code RSE to default to AUX video input on startup)

Sound would work and you could have separate sound in RSE (headphones) and front simply by changing the input on the front screen to something else, and changing back when you need to change the video track

CONS

No IDRIVE (that I know of.... unless the new video source can have idrive control which would be totally cool)
Wires would run from rear RSE to console
Coding required


If anyone has more ideas in #3 - Im all ears

Or just drive the damn vehicle and if someone wants to watch a movie, send their ass to the back, no need for that distraction while driving lol Just because it could be done after some work doesn't mean it should be done

Whoever is sitting front passenger just mashes the RSE remote until the video starts, then we switch the front aufio back when we're done.

The whole RSE system is Completely asinine IF you have little ones who cannot yet operate it on their own. Using the remote in the front seat is like a slap in the face, all these wierd buttons, knobs and dials, to control something you can't see because the screen cuts off when you turn it to the front! Few things ever frustrated me like using that system while on road trips with the kids.

Thankfully, they are old enough now to change DVDs and hit play on their own. They get stuck a little occasionally but usually get it working. My sanity has returned.

I had big plans for ours but quickly realized our kids would rather each watch their own iPad.

The video signal from the DVD changer to the front system is analog and you can easily tap into it. The rear is also analog and much easier as you just tap into the aux input.

Simplest is then having car coded for Video In Motion. Then tap into the video from the changer and tap it into the rear system. Don't worry about the aspect ratio, the screens already take care of that and only display it black barred anyway.

I was trying to do full HD in the back and just the digital audio into the front system...

I found a 1080p screen on eBay for ~ $60 that was the perfect size to fit in the rear screen housing. Then I was going to setup a in-car video distribution system with a Raspberry Pi, a 2tb HD, an Apple remote, and Kodi.

I got it all working but abandoned the project before install and ended uip selling the whole rear system to get it out of the way of the center console.

*** You can also play DVD's from the single navigation drive in the dash.
