Chevy, there has to be an easy SW update to fix this. No root menu for USB Video!?!?
2018 Suburban w/ rear seat entertainment
I hope that I am doing something wrong and someone can point out what I'm doing wrong, but I've tried a lot of different configurations and can't find a suitable solution.
If you want to play video in the rear screens of the vehicle, you have 3 options
What is interesting is that if the same USB drive is plugged into one of the front seat USBs, you can browse the root menu, and see the video files. But, you can't play video from the front USB ports, so even though you can see the file structure, you can't select anything to play.
Chevy, this has to be a pretty simple programming/SW update:
- Ideally, provide the same root menu view on the rear video USB ports
- Minimally, at least display the video filename as a video overlay for 5-10 seconds so you can know what movie you've selected.
Thanks

- DVD/BD drive from the front console - I can't be the only one who has shifted away from discs in favor of digital formats
- HDMI input in the 2nd row - Pretty cumbersome to connect a video player or tablet via dongle to play video
- 2x USB inputs in the 2nd row - The simple easy solution for digital video file playback
