Roku stick question

Does anyone know how to plug-in a Roku stick into the X5? I have an iPad mounted in the rear and I also have video in motion enabled however this is going to be mainly used for the rear streaming on the iPad or any tablet in the back.

Also any recommendations on a tablet holder that fits The iPad 11 inch pro in the rear entertainment slot? I know there are several threads on it but none give, at least to me, clarity on which one would be the best fit for the new iPad 11 inch pro

Not sure about the Roku, but do use the following iPad holder from BMW which works perfectly with the 11" iPad Pro.

I haven't used the Roku but assuming it's like all other streaming devices, wouldn't you need to plug it into the iPad via USB-C?

I've been able to use a Fire Stick to stream to a RES via HDMI on my G30 but the USB port (not USB-C) on the G30 didn't have enough power so I had to use a 12v to USB plug to give the FireStick enough juice. So I can say it does work with the RES.

Thanks but I am looking for the one that clips in to the rear seat entertainment screen holder. Basically something that fits into the already rear entertainment ready slot that my car has instead of attaching it to the headrest

The one I provided earlier is the one which clips into the backseat. There is zero need to use the headrest clip. I use this on my current G05 X5.

I use this with the 11" iPad Pro and not standard iPad. Mine is the LTE version so my son has internet on the go in the back seat without having to enable the in-car hotspot or establish a hotspot connection using my phone.

Plus, when I'm already paying around $80k for a fully loaded 2020 X5, paying an additional $150+ is not an issue. I also used the discount coupon provided by my dealer for 25% off accessories.
