What are the steps to connect the rear tablet in a BMW 7 Series?
2 Answers
First, turn on the car's computer, then select the option to connect with the small tablet in the settings to successfully establish the connection. The rear small tablet is equipped with a variety of features, offering multiple adjustment modes, allowing you to select the most comfortable seating position.
When connecting the rear seat tablet, I generally follow these steps: ensure the vehicle is powered on, then enter the iDrive system's settings menu, locate the rear entertainment function, and enable pairing mode. On the tablet, I turn on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, search for an option like 'BMW Rear Seat' in the device list, and tap to connect. A pairing code prompt will appear—input the 4-digit number displayed on the car screen. Once done, the tablet can control the audio-visual system. If the connection fails, try restarting the tablet or updating the vehicle software, and avoid signal interference from excessive distance. The whole process took me 5 minutes to master, and the kids enjoy watching videos in the back seat. However, remember to prioritize safe driving and avoid distractions—it's best to set these up while parked. Always check the manual or brand app for compatibility to account for model variations.
