just wondering is it possible to watch movies/videos on the touch screen?
I've tried USB and iPhone media output but only MP3/music will work without a problem.
Or is there a specific file format type that will only work?
I have the SI4 SE petrol version without CD player.
Thanks

I have not found any way to have videos play on the front touch screen.

Most places have laws against that ability unless the vehicle is in park. I assume LR did not make that available on a factory installed infotainment system.

Yes, it's possible but you don't have the "dual-view" option: driver side sees the data content while the front passenger side sees movies/entertainment.

Is that option available in the US? Is it a software or hardware upgrade? Looks cool.

Unfortunately, I believe this option is only available in Europe. However, if it's a must have feature for your driving experience, you may order via: http://www.carid.com/land-rover-discovery-sport-accessories/

Do you need to buy a new screen or is it some type of software?

 

[USER.000]

Its both. The display incorporates a unique reflection/refraction so that users can view images at different angles simultaneously. The screen in turn retains all the touch-screen functionality of the display via software; menus/graphics are altered to accommodate the viewing angles.

I have a 2016 MY16.5 Australian model no dramas watching DVD movies ripped or otherwise via USB.

I find with the stadium seating my kids can still see the front screen all I did was buy a pair of wireless headphones from LR. Wife and I listen to music, the kids watch TV/DVD

My model has the dual screen button top right of the touch screen (physical button) whilst the car is in motion kids happily see TV and I only see the home menu whilst listening to my favourite tunes..

Rumour has it the technology used to spit the screen in such a way is the same technology as the the little game disk called TAZOs in the late 80's early 90's
