We just purchased a 2019 and we had the same frustrations. To adapt, we purchased a HDMI to phone cable and can screenshare all our phone content directly to the screens. Quick, seamless, no lag.
Try again without the HDMI connected. I ran into the same thing testing an Apple TV on a 2020 Yukon Denali. If i had the HDMI connected at the same time i tried to power up the AppleTV.. it would boot for just a few seconds & then cut off. So we hoped into a 2nd Yukon & it did the same... then i had the idea to not connect the HDMI cable 1st... and guess what.. it powered on just fine.. then i connected the HDMI cable & it worked like a champ. So that is the work around
I have a question I'm thinking about buying a Lincoln navigator 2018 l I want to put monitors in the SUV for my grandkids and a monitor for the third row seat any suggestion
PRN_tech that's so weird?? The reason it won't turn on is because there isn't sufficient power or no power at all. Plug in a phone and see it works(wall outlet cable), if it does its a Lincoln Navigator problem. That's really odd. I bet the PS4 SLIM works.
We were pretty confused about it also, which is one of the reasons we didn't bother testing it before filming. Definitely a power issue coming from the vehicle, but likely not a problem in the real world, I doubt many people are planning to run their consoles in their Navigators.
I hate how new vechiles now only have the head rest on the back of the first row. Now the people in the 3rd row are out of luck. I wonder if you can install a aftermarket flip down monitor for the 3rd row or if the panoramic roof won't allow it. I can see my kids fighting to sit in the middle row instead of the 3rd..🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😒
Very good point about the third row. There are some vehicles we've driven on PRN_TestDrive that might have worked with a third-row screen as the pano roof ended above the second row and a second separate piece of glass covered the third row. I wonder if it's something manufacturers will look at if they continue to support DVD/BD players in cars.
Yup! Seems to be more of a problem with the power output from the built in power inverter. Some just don't work with all products, I tried to use the plug on a Chrysler Pacifica to run a ShopVac and it wouldn't work.
1.8 amps x 115v = 207watts... Apparently real world load is about 170watts. Meanwhile a Xbox One S with its lower power GPU peaks around 80watts. Quite simply too much for the inverter.
Mac OS “TEN” and “iPhone TEN” when talking about these Apple products. The X is not pronounced like a letter rather, a number. It’d be as absurd as saying “Super Bowl LEE”
Really stupid that a premium vehicle, like the Navigator, is supplied with a 150 Watt 120 VAC inverter outlet. A vehicle needs at least a 1500 Watt 120 VAC inverter to run an occasional power tool or a vacuum cleaner.
We attempted to use the rear seat entertainment on the Escalade but found the screens in the back to be incompatible with most new HD/4K devices. We tried a Roku on the Escalade as it rendered 1/4 of the UI, as if it were expecting a larger screen or resolution.
The TVs in that car are a waist of money you can buy 2 iPads and just keep them back their and plug them in with the USB ports to charge them and that would be a cheaper option
I think that a lot of manufacturers recognize that, as many of the luxury brands allow you to just buy tablet holders instead. Overall its an easier solution than this to get content onto the screens.
I get why they did it, same reason Apple removed the headphone jack from their phones. They feel only a small number of buyers would want a BD drive in their Lincolns as people are moving towards USB/Cloud storage, and the cost savings for FoMoCo made it worthwhile. I don't necessarily agree with the decision though.
I have the 18 Navigator and it blows the cardilac away in every way EXCEPT the shitty ass entertainment system. The movies stream poorly and always lose connection. For 90k you need a DVD player
We experienced the same thing. Not that the Escalade was significantly better mind you, both could be improved. In fact the Chrysler Pacifica had one of the best rear seat entertainment systems we've used to date.
The simple answer is to not purchase the rear seat player and screens from the factory. After market systems are far superior, with a DVD player and they are a fraction of the cost.
It took me a bit of trial and error to get it to work, but the power source might be the main issue. I had problems trying to get this setup to work on other vehicles due to the power inverter in the car.
Tech chanel? V, W, A - You don't know basics. You could plug xbox to Your home outlet to test if it's power problem. Check how dvd and br sales drop compare to digital copies and streaming. Prepare next tame, don' be lazy.
Don't get all upset pal, we also tested this in a different vehicle which will be published in a few minutes and it worked, so it's a Lincoln Navigator problem. Relax.
