    Disabling the auto shut down feature

    OP is not talking about that. When these vehicles sit idle for 30ish minutes, they turn off. OP - I've experienced it and it's annoying. Not sure if you can disable the feature. When the countdown to shutoff begins, I just put it in gear and back into park. I think that resets the timer. Been...

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Yep, they were connected to the vehicle's hotspot. The hotspot has been rock solid, with great reliability, speed, and coverage. Very happy with it. I ran a speedtest rolling down 95 at 80mph in the middle of North Carolina and was getting 60mbps down and 50mbps up. It uses AT&T. If you decide...

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    We took a trip this past weekend - about 14 hours driving. My boys used the Mi Box S for a majority of the trip, watching Disney+ streamed from my wife's phone. No issues. Just an update from my previous posts complaining of Chromecast issues.

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Regarding hotspot data - there's also the option to prepay for one or two years. I bought two years for $380, which comes to less than $16/month. I've been very happy with the hotspot. It's worked well for us.

    Rear entertainment Headphones and Floormats

    I doubt the supplied headphones even work in the third row. In my experience, they have to be directly in front of the screen to function properly. My advice is to use bluetooth headsets. Much better audio and reliability.

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Everything I had prior to buying our Tahoe relied on USB-A, so I picked up a couple sets of these to adapt to the USB-C. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BS8SRWH They've worked out great.

    Please report back your Chromecast findings. Very interested to hear what others experience.

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Yes, the rear seat passengers can select the video they want to watch, and you can also select it from the front center screen. Each rear screen can watch its own video independently.

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Yes, a couple of us discussed using flash drives earlier in this thread. I'm using a 256GB drive using NTFS (for larger file sizes). 256 is the largest I've tried. There is a USB-A and USB-C connector in the center console, which are great for hiding the drive(s).

    Is Trading a 2019 Suburban for a 2021 Suburban worth it?

    It's a personal decision that only you can decide, Richard. That said, we were looking at a 2020 Suburban Premier before ultimately buying our 2021 Tahoe High Country. We really liked the Suburban and it would have been a great vehicle for us and done everything we need, but once we sat in the...

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Right now, I'm using a Xiaomi Mi Box S. We've been casting Youtube and Disney+ to it without issue for the past few days. It's a bit bigger than a Chromecast, but it's working. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Xiaomi-Mi-Box-S-4K-HDR-Android-TV-with-Google-Assistant-Remote-Streaming-Media-Player/677842593

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Not sure why GM implemented Miracast. Android dropped Miracast support with v6.0, which was released in ***October 2015***. I bought a couple of these 90 degree HDMI adapters to mitigate the risk of damage to the HDMI ports or devices. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CF4G7JC

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    I got the Xiaomi Mi Box S installed and, so far, no problems. I also picked up an Nvidia Shield, but I don't think I'm going to use it in the vehicle. The Mi Box is much more compact and hideable. I'll report back if I see any issues. I've kept a Google Docs log of this whole thing...

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Thanks for the posts, Mike. I think I understand what you're saying...see if you agree. With streaming content, the resolution changes as bandwidth changes/stabilizes. The stream may start out at 480, then bump to 1080 or 2160 if bandwidth allows. It's at those changes in resolution that you...
