Benefits of using an original rear monitor

Using an original rear monitor in a BMW X5/X6 allows for the restoration of full entertainment system functionality without compromising image quality or compatibility.

• stable operation of the DVD system in the rear of the vehicle,
• no need for wiring harness modifications,
• maintaining vehicle value by preserving the factory equipment configuration.
