Can you please post photos of your Yukon or Tahoe if you have the entertainment monitors in the back seat. I really do not want this option on my Denali, but may have to live with it since it got included in my order and is at production time.

I want to see photos from different angles to see how visible the monitors are in the front seat, from head on looking through the windshield, the side mirrors, etc. Are they hidden by the headrest in front?

Thanks!

I would look on YouTube. There are lots of videos about the rear seat media and will show you different angles.

I have watched quite a few videos on YouTube. I still cannot see the view from entering the vehicle or a view looking back from the front seat, or a rearview mirror view looking back. All of the videos are videos that show the monitors and how to use them, from the back seat.

Since I hate the monitors, I am trying to get a perspective on how much you can see from the front seat, where I will be 100% of the time.

Thanks!

They are just slightly bigger than headrest, shouldn’t obstruct your view at all. Only a bonus to have in my opinion, higher resale value.

Well they are definitely wider than the headrest.

Try looking for some general interior videos, not specific to the rear seat system.

Like this one around 4:18

I didn't want them either really, but pretty soon reality hit me that if I want one of these vehicles AT ALL, I better take what I can get.
Its a small negative in the world of big positives. They probably will hardly be used, but if they keep a grand kid happy on just one trip, I'll be glad they are there. Overwhelmingly happy with everything else that came with the Ultimate pkg....

I have it and don't notice them as a driver. I'm keeping my rearview mirror on camera most of the times, even when I kept it on mirror didn't notice any obstruction.

That’s funny. I went out of my way to get a truck with them because I have two kids 12 and 6. These have HDMI inputs so a $20 fire stick, and a usb c to mini usb cable later the kids have all the comforts of home in the back. It runs off the built in wifi. I actually drove 130 miles to a rural PA dealer to get my truck Bc he was the only one who had one with this option. I ended up getting the power sliding center console with it as well, but I didn’t really care about that.

After a couple drives I am not a fan of how they work, u can’t see the screens in the front when your parked, u have to use the Amazon fire stick remote to pick your stuff which means Parking car and gettin out. Needs to be able to play a dvd and see from front and would be good, seems to drop the WiFi a lot too

I have mine hooked up to rokus and my kids love them. They have never once dropped wifi but i live in atlanta. Makes a 6 hr trip to FL quite a breeze.

i cannot notice them from the front as a driver.

to the person above me have you ever been able to watch a rear screen in the front? I would love to see when you are parked though.

On the previous generation Tahoe when you were parked it would display the dvd on front screen, this is what I would like it to do. Yes I agree it should not play when your driving on the front screen.

I have them in my 21 Denali. Never noticed them being any issue with blocking any vision from the front seat. To be honest, I use the camera a lot in the rear view mirror to see behind me. I love that feature.

My kids, ages 15 and 13 love the system. I have 2 fire sticks hooked up, one to both sides and they can watch whatever they want. For me, it was a must have.
