I tested some of the AV interface stuff this evening and here are some preliminary findings:
With OEM Source set to AUX upfront and the CarPlay app running with Waze on the screen and Apple Music playing through the factory speakers I get the following...
Rear screen sources:
-HDMI: Works. Audio to wireless headsets and video to screens via HDMI cable to iPad.
-DVD: Works. Video from OEM head unit to rear screens and audio to wireless headsets.
REAR AV: NOTHING
AV: UPDATE: Withe rear screens connected properly this source displays the video and audio that is on the front screen. Netflix and CarPlay confirmed. I will test others.Gets no video but audio of what’s on front when OEM head unit on AUX. (If Netflix is playing up front you get the audio on wireless headsets).
These other Sources operate as they should per the Toyota NAV manual. None of these sources can be used in the rear if the front is using a different source:
BLUETOOTH: STATES SELECT ‘speaker output” to use.
USB: STATES SELECT ‘speaker output” to use.
SAT: STATES SELECT ‘speaker output” to use.
AM: STATES SELECT ‘speaker output” to use.
FM: STATES SELECT ‘speaker output” to use.
APPS: STATES SELECT ‘speaker output” to use.
AUX: STATES SELECT ‘speaker output” to use.
Any time I change the speaker output on the rear screens it changes the front output. This is normal behavior per the NAV manual.
Definitely not getting any video sources from the EC unit on the rear screens. Now I’m wondering if I ever really did get Netflix and was mistaken. EDIT: Obviously at this point it's clear that I was sniffing glue. Video now working once the correct connections were made.
Hope this helps provide some info for inquiring minds.
