Trying to find a way to plug external video devices into the rapide s screens. I've seen referenced, a composite video input for the rear seat entertainment system but I can't seem to find it anywhere - anyone know if I'm likely to have this? Would be great to get it sorted for the kids.

Car is a 2015 rapide s.

Thanks for any help in advance.

It has a composite RCA 'phono plug' video input in the rear central console cubby hole - usually marked yellow.

Thanks Ken, I did look there previously but couldn't see anything. Will take another look, it couldn't have been an additional option could it?

Dont think so - if you have the screens you will have the AV in.

Looked again in the rear cubby hole between the seats where the remote and headphones are stored. Only connector in there is 12v power socket.... Looks like I don't have a video input then :-( Wonder if they took it off the s models for some reason?

Strange mate! I'll take a pic of mine to make sure I'm not making this all up!

"The rear seats are home to the most high-tech infotainment option in the car: a pair of LCDs built into the seats in front. These LCDs are standard-definition and, while you can connect a video game console or movie player to them, you have to do it through analog composite inputs."

Was the B+O system standard or optional? I wonder if they came with one but not the other.

Would appreciate that in case I'm being daft and missing something obvious....

Mine only has premium audio system not B&O, so could it be that? Seems a bit odd if so as not sure why that should impact video inputs.

this I guess goes into the RCA inputs and you use a HDMI device, could even use you phone
