Infotaiment and digital key for android question

[Oskar Kosta]

Hello everyone,

I finally have my Eletre and so far the driving experience is fantastic, but the infotainment system that the vehicle has seems very simple to me.
In electric cars when you have to make charging stops, being able to see multimedia content on the screen is very useful, but in this model, there are no native applications to be able to do so, not even on the rear screen where it would be logical to be able to play Netflix, YouTube, etc. etc.
In the front I have managed to get YouTube and PrimeVideo to work (not Netflix because it gives an error) with the browser that you can download from the Lotus APP store, but in the back I don't even have the option for that APP.

Does anyone know how I can watch YouTube, Netflix, etc. etc. in the back?

Congrats on your Eletre @Oskar Kosta, it is good you are loving it. BTW for the rear screen, it might not have direct access to streaming apps like YouTube or Netflix, so a workaround I would suggest could be using a streaming device, like a Chromecast or Fire Stick, connected to the rear HDMI. I hope this helps

Since you got YouTube and Prime Video working in the front through the browser, you might be able to mirror your phone or something to the back screen if the Eletre supports wireless casting, like AirPlay or Android screen mirroring.

Can you install the Netflix app and then reinstall it back?

No, on the back, because of the software that comes by default, you can't install apps. There is a USB option, but from what I've tried, it's just for reading music files. And it doesn't have an HDMI connector, although I have to test if I can connect a FIRESTICK or CHROMECAST via a USB-HDMI cable.

I hope that in future updates they can improve.

Congratulations on your Eletre! To potentially overcome this limitation consider using a third-party dongle or adapter to mirror your phone or tablet to the rear screen. It's unfortunate that Lotus didn't integrate these features but alternative solutions may be available.
