How do I operate the rear-seat entertainment system in my BMW?

Rear-seat entertainment allows occupants in the rear to access entertainment sources regardless of the driver's selection. Two screens, different media connections, and a CD/DVD/ Blu-ray drive are available in the rear for this purpose. Rear-seat entertainment also provides access to many iDrive functions. The sound can be output via headphones or the vehicle's loudspeakers. Different entertainment sources can be selected on the screens.
