  • It says headphones are not included. Are there only 3.5mm jacks to use wired headphones or is there a way to use wireless?
  • If both screens are playing the same source, DVD move for example, with headphones, can front seat passengers use a different source such as radio or iPod?
  • It states a remote is included. What are the main functions the remote can control?
  • It states MP3 players/game consoles can be used. How does an iPod or game console hook up to the screen(s)? What is the connection type and where is it located? HDMI?
Thanks in advance!
each screen has the idrive menu system - as the front display. you simply pick your source ... cd/dvd, music, a BT pairing. Aux ... Not sure if apps is supported in the rear though. There should be a rear dvd slot in the rear.

Yea, there are jacks to plugin headphones. You can use wireless headphones, but have to buy them separately.

I'm sure it uses a idrive controller in the rear - but perhaps the x5 uses a remote instead.

Since the rear has its own rear slot - then yes, you can use any other source in the front.

The external input is just analog, not hdmi ... so regular analog video in.
