Default Control rear entertainment using front infotainment system instead of rear remote

Hello, I am looking to control DVD playback on the rear entertainment system using the driver front infotainment, rather than my kids using the rear remote control. Thanks

I thought it's already built in, controls will work when vehicle is parked w/ parking brake engaged.

Huge pain in the butt - you have to be in park. We ended up taking the monitors off and put tablet holders on the headrest.

Thanks folks. So I guess no solution.
Also wish there was an HDMI stick that you could stream to from you phone (phone --> HDMI Stick --> Rear Screens)
Basically something like a Chromecast that would work when plugged into the rear HDMI input.
Thanks again

I had a android for a while and tried a plug with a HDMI out. it was really flakey on connectivity and the video quality is like watching a VHS.

these screens are such a waste, we should get an option of not wanting them with the 3rd row option
