Netflix in the Back of the ?Lac: Streaming Video Comes to Cadillac CT6 and Escalade
You can now catch up on the latest season of House of Cards while riding in comfort in the back of your Cadillac.

The setup will be familiar to anyone who uses a Chromecast or Apple TV device at home. The 2017 CT6 sedan and Escalade SUV both offer rear-seat entertainment screens with an HDMI input. With the Chromecast device plugged in to that input and connected to the car’s Wi-Fi network, passengers can connect a smartphone to the Wi-Fi network and use apps to stream video onto the rear screens?and onto the front infotainment screen if the car is in park. In the CT6, each 10.0-inch screen operates independently, and audio can be played through any combination of the car’s sound system or wireless headphones.
