Upgrade RSE (Rear seat entertainment)

So back when we bought our X5 in 2016 right before kids we thought oh these screens will be great, we can play movies on long drives.

In retrospect, we should have skipped that option. Not that its available with the chip shortage right now, but when we ordered the X7 we would have left it off this time if it was an option. I love the comfort travel system in that car and that the power is right there.

That being said we have it and it has come in handy from time to time. The annoying part is the 2016 version is not HDMI, its only component, so we have a cable that runs off the iphone converting it down but I hate the setup.

So I am wondering two things, if I upgrade idrive to carplay through bimmertech can I mirror the front screen in the back or even go directly to the back screens wirelessly?

The second option and I don't know what is involved, can I upgrade my current RSE unit to the HDMI version? Is it just a headunit/dvd player switch or is it more involved?

Thanks!
