2014 Kakadu Audio / Video Questions

[SIR03 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close SIR03]

I have recently taken delivery of a brand new Kakadu and have a few questions about how the video (movie...) side of things work.

I have read through a lot of info about the pre facelift 150 and how you can play a DVD in the front and get it to also play in the rear. Now with the facelift model it appears to have Blu Ray player in the rear, and only a CD player in the front that will not play DVD's or Blu Ray's..., and my question is are you able to get the movie playing in the back to also appear on the front screen?

Secondly I am curious as to whether you can get the Sat Nav to repeat on the rear screen, as many reviews have stated? I have not been able to achieve this either.

My final question is: Has anyway managed to get the new Kakadu to play a video off an Iphone 5 through the front AV input, and are you able to get this to also play on the rear screen?

Thanks for your help.

HI,
I bought a 2014MY Kakadu in december.I had been in an out of every dealer in perth since last 5 months asking the same question.The answer was a no for all your questions.

I did question them on the information regarding Kakadu on Toyota website as it says in dash DVD player in the dash and the front and back should play back from it's sources.For all the rest of the models the website says CD player with MP3 compatibility. Even though it's got an A/V option in the dash it doesn't play back anything as i have tried every possible options.Even the dealer tried and said no. I have forwarded this to ACCC against toyota for misleading consumers.

I have few more questions.Are you able to open your fuel filler cap with your remote as so says toyota website.Also do you have any working courtesy lamps on the door?

I shall update once i hear back from ACCC/department of commerce in W.A

Look forward to hear from you.

Thank you.

Maybe models built in 2014 will have all the things you refer to. Your Kakka must have been made in late 2013, yeah?

When we purchased our Prado, previous look, we were told all sorts of things about what it could do, but as usual salesman talk to much. What I would like to be able to do is have the children watching a DVD with the headphones on and the driver listen to music. But that seems to be a no as well.

Cheers,

Hello Pearl 150.

Thanks for your post.Mine is a new look 2014 kakkadu.I took it back to the dealer and they checked everything against a brand new stock kakkadu and none of the features i have mentioned worked on that as well.But i could listen to music with kiddus watching BlueRay with headphones on.Also my friend's 2013 altitude has the same feature.May be have yours checked by a dealer.

cheers

Hi
I think you have to get the DVD playing on the rear player first, then you can use the front one to play what you want after that.
That was the message I got off of google.
Have not tried it yet as have not had the grandies in at the same time I have been away.
