  1. The full power playstation 4 might be a challenge. The invertor is only rated for 150 W. I believe the playstation 4 slim is very low power and would work easily though.
  2. The reason the setting on the button isn't saves / remembered or default off is because of the way the EPA tests. The whole point is to get 1 extra MPG in the city loop test which is big for the CAFE ratings for Ford. When the EPA tests they test the vehicle with all default settings enabled. If a setting can be set that reduces the fuel mileage and remembered between starts they will test with it enabled. In other words in order to get the benefits in the EPA test they had to design it in such a way that everytime you start the vehicle its on. Just be thankful you can turn it off. Some manufactures don't even have an off switch. Matt
  3. John, From the front seat you have no control or integration with the rear seat entertainment. The system comes with 2 infra red remotes which must be operated from the rear looking at the screen. As has been said the system has no DVD / Blu-ray player in it. Also its difficult to link the system to the audio system of the car as there is no internal connection. The best way to do the audio linkage is with a Fm-Adapter. The most useful way to use the system is to follow the following guidelines: 1) Purchase a 3.5mm -> FM adapter off amazon. I purchased one that is powered off USB yet also has a microusb on it to allow the power to pass through. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D9KPSWM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2) Set the USB port on the primary display to FAST CHARGE. This will allow the port to have 15W of power available. This will be enough to drive a streaming stick along with the FM adapter. 3) Purchase either a Roku stick or amazon fire stick. Plug it into the HDMI port on the primary display powering it off the USB power passthrough on the FM adapter. 4) Find a frequency on the FM adapter that is open and set it to that. 5) Set a preset on the vehicle radio to the FM adapter frequency. 6) RIP all your DVD's to a large SD card and place in the SD card slot. 7) Enable the vehicle hotspot and setup the Roku to utilize the vehicle Wi-fi for internet This allows one screen to watch live streamed content from the Roku such as netflix / youtube / hulu etc.. on one screen. You will also be able to view DVD content from the SD-card on the other screen (either screen can do either just not both at same time). It also allows you to hear the content on the main sound in the vehicle by tuning the radio to a set frequency. You can also run either a PS4-slim or a Xbox one-s off the rear inverter and plug it into the HDMI port if you need to. I know its a lot of pain in the ass for a system that cost 2k in a 100k car. The good news is that they are large screens. They are not great quality displays but they are also durable. I am not totally pleased with the system, esp for 2k. We are using though at least while the kid is young. Hes only 3 but he can pick up the roku remote, put his headphones on, navigate to youtube/netflix and off he goes. The system remembers the previous input settings etc so we just reach over and push the button to turn it on and he is off and running (he cant reach power button when he is strapped in ).
