- In this brief video, I will show you how to project/sync the same video off of a smartphone onto all of the TV monitors in a Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Suburban, or GMC Yukon from 2007 to 2020. This method requires NO MODIFICATIONS!! Just a few cables! It is very simple and should take no longer than 1 hour to set up if this is your first time! Some amazon links on videos are used to support this channel.

I think people liked this but wanna see the apple tv working wirelessly if you make a new video on it.
Good job.
Unfortunately not really possibly on 4th Gen Tahoe/ Yukon / Escalade. You could plug the apple tv into this splitter, but you still need all the cables.
GM should have made it possible to sync the TV’s from the factory.
I think it’s fixed in the new 5th Gen but I haven’t been in one yet to see myself.
Thank you tho 🙏🏾
Thank you for the Monitor information
Can you do a video on how to connect a roku tv stick to a Cadillac Escalade pls

I have an android phone, what adapter would I need? I have a 2016 cadillac escalade with the 2 rear seat head monitors

Hi I have a few questions my mom has a 2019 platinum escalade it has the DVD player screen that is on the roof that flips down and she has the 2 that are behind the headrest well my 1st question is how do i add and connect my wireless AirPods to the screen that is behind the passenger headrest.And 2nd how do I get it to play independently to where it plays whatever movie dvd cd I put in it and 3rd how can I stream from whats playing on my iphone to where it shows on the screen behind the passenger headrest and I’m just asking.4th Also is there any wires under the passenger seat bc like I said the screen that is behind the passenger headrest it will show the same movie of what the screen that is behind the drivers headrest is playing if I have it on monitor 3 and if the dvd cd movie is in the one behind the drivers headrest but if I have the dvd screen player on monitor 4 the one behind the passenger headrest and have the dvd movie cd in it it won’t show anything the screen will be black so how do I get it to work bc it comes on and it shows the logo but when I press play it doesn’t show that it is loading or anything like that so please give me some answers please thanks
I have a 2016 Escalade with only the center screen. I tried to connect my iPad and iPhone via HDMI to Aux connector (the one you mentioned in the video), but the screen is not showing up the content. Any suggestions on what steps to follow? Thanks!
If you only have a single rooftop screen, you just plug an HDMI cable directly into the HDMI port on the back of the center armrest.
There is no auxiliary connections for center screens on 2016. Only headrest monitors. Center screen only has HDMI and DVD (See the video at 10:00 minute mark to see what I’m talking about).
I’m a bit confused by your question but I hope this helps 😅
If there by chance is an auxiliary connection in your truck, make sure you have the right “source” on for the screen. In other words, make sure you are viewing “auxiliary input” not HDMI or DVD input.
I have an android and my escalade only has the USB not the HDMI, should I use a HDMI to USB converter or HDMI to RCA convertor. I dont have the headrest screens just the overheads.
mdcox0710 Do you have a third generation Escalade (2007-2014) or fourth generation (2015-2020)?
hi there. I came upon your great video. I have 2015 Escalade ESV with 2 rooftop screens, no headrest screens. I'd like to play Netflix or Disney+ on my screens. Do I have to buy all the stuff you showed in your video to do it? Thank you for your answer.
No. You just need an HDMI cable, and the HDMI to Lightening dongle.
Plug that into an iPhone or IPad and it will show whatever is on the iPhone screen on both TV’s
Or if you have android phones and tablets you will need HDMI cable and HDMI to Micro USB-C converter/ dongle.
That’s it! Just 1 cable and 1 dongle.
I left links in the description of this video to help find them on Amazon as well!
Hope that makes sense 🙏🏾
Do u have any info on the items that u purchased?
Just added the information. Please check the description box. I apologize for the crazy late response!
I have a 2016 Escalade. Should I buy a USB to HDMI converter?
It depends.
For the center/ceiling screen, you could plug in something that is USB, like a flashdrive, and then convert it to HDMI and send the signal straight to the center and main screen. (NOTE: Main nav screen will only project video while in park with factory settings).
BUT, if this is for the head rest monitors you will want HDMI to RCA. There is no HDMI input on the headrest monitors.
Just look at the links I posted in the description. Everything you could want/ need is in there! Hope this helps! :)
Can I do this on a 2014 Escalade? Thanks in advance!
It might be a little different for you for the ceiling screens. Nothing major. I think your inputs are AV (Yellow, Red, and White cables) instead of HDMI, so you'll need an appropriate cable to address this.
As far as the headrest screens go, they're the exact same and everything should work the same.
Does it stream off of cellular data or do you have to have separate Wi-Fi?
You can use
1.) Cellular Data
2.) 4G data plan built into the Escalade
3.) A portable WiFi hotspot
Everything works really
How can I watch a video on the front screen while driving?
You need a special device. Cadillac has this feature locked from factory for safety to prevent distracted driving. You can search online for "video in motion" kits for the escalade.
Basically, you need to remove the screen from the truck and plug the wire that normally plugs into the screen, into the "video-in-motion" box, and then make the signal go from the box to the screen and put it back together again.
The box stops and defeats the safety lock.
You may also be able to have the safety feature removed through code by someone who is good with Cadillac coding and has access to a dealership level Cadillac computer.
In summary it is a medium sized job but it DOES require opening up the truck and possibly splicing wires to make it work. It's pretty advanced work.
This video is just plug and play for normal people/parents. No modification needed!
Gracias Muchas Gracias,
So if I'm on Drive do the screens in the Back also stop working or only the front one?
@@elpasitostuntune.p.t.3625 only the front screen!
Bro I’m trying to sync the digital audio headphones that came with the suv in my Escalade ESV and they are not connecting. What am I doing wrong?
TBH i've never had that problem bc ours came with two headphones already synced up by the dealer when it was delivered.
I'm also half-way across the country from the escalade at the moment because of college lmao
Give me like a month and I can check for you when I get back home! If you find a solution before me please come back here and leave a comment explaining how you fixed it so other's can read it and learn!
I wish you the best my man!
@@SaraiGarage right on. Best of luck at school man. Thanks
Where is the information when you bought the stuff in amazon
I just added it!
Bro....way too man y cables.....nice effort but that is ghetto in an Escalade. Get the real install done ....wires are no no
Yeah fair comment.
If you use the TV’s regularly I would spend the money to pay a shop to do it.
We use the TV’s like once every two years, so for me it was good enough without risking someone messing up the wiring.
If you barely use them like us I think this is fine. I hid all the cables under weathertech floor mats and tuck them into the back pockets. It’s not bad honestly.
Spaghetti time
Man for 2019 as i have this is too much. For 2019 when we had ipads etc that should of been easy not so many wires.
I agree 100%.
I’m pretty sure the newest generation of Escalade is all wireless and easy.
Unfortunately for our third gen’s they kept the same old screens and hardware from the previous second Gen.
It’s honestly my least favorite thing about our Escalade. So outdated and ridiculous, especially for the prices we pay to buy these things.
@@SaraiGarage well i bought usb c to hdmi and its fine works ok it is what it is but yea for 100k car in 2019 when we had ipads seriously it could of cost them maybe 2k per car or less. I do love the size and etc but its feels a bit old but you can never catch up for technology something new comes out like 21 escalade and 2020 feels old but its still great vehicle for its size. Coming fro. Gx 460 this is major size upgrade for us.
@@SaraiGarage do you know by a chance what is a max usb flash drive you can use in escalade 2019. Thanks
@@atlant2566 That’s a good idea as well! However it won’t work for the headrest screens.
Those only take very old RCA (yellow, white, red) inputs only.
If you’re fine with just the center roof screens. Then this is a very clean and simple solution.
@@atlant2566 I’m a little confused by this question. If you mean max storage, there is no limit. Buy as large of a USB flash drive storage as you want, load it up with movies, plug it in and enjoy
I found a a much easier and cheaper way on doing this with limited wiring shown, with a Roku or any other streaming device.
Can you show us your set up?
@@ericcastanonsanchez4666 I can possibly send you pictures at some point this week. I have to take apart the center console. What is your email address
Still too many wires. Just spend to money to hide all the wires
I just didn’t feel comfortable with a aftermarket shop splicing open wires on such a new and expensive truck. + Those TV’s are used like 1-2 times per year.
Felt like it wasn’t worth the risk of having problems like battery drain etc occurring for just 1-2 uses per year.
But yes if you use them a lot I agree with you! Aftermarket install is the way to go!
U Punjabi ?
Yes sir
2016 escalade doesnt have a hdmi input
Yes it does. Every 4th generation Escalade (model years 2015 - 2020) with screens attached to the roof/ headliner have the same set up for second row passengers.
You either just have a lower spec Escalade that is missing rooftop screens, or somebody broke the control unit off.
Either way, all Escalades with the screens have it.
@@SaraiGarage bro,, ur speaking on something u have no fkn knoledge off, the 2016 escalade platinum top of the line came with rear usb, aux, and rca inputs and sd card thats it… i have the top luxury package cue system, in 2017 they updated the cue to 2.6 and installed hdmi input in back console also changed the center console too two usbs and a cig lighter
Tbh, I looked up Google images last night before commenting and it showed it did, but now bc of ur wild comment I looked at actual manufacturer photos, and you’re right. Pre-2017 has RCA input.
Who cares tho. Just use a RCA to Lightening (stream directly from phone) or RCA to HDMI cable (stream directly from splitter like in this video).
It’s not a big deal.
