Synced rider tablets for your back seat

Turn your back seat into an arcade. Two headrest tablets play free, kid-safe OPPS Ride games against each other, and riders can request songs from a list you approve. No rider accounts, no chat, no cameras.

Your phone stays on Uber/Lyft and in your hands. Driver Assist Host mode runs alongside it, so you keep control of the volume, lock, reset between riders, and Kids Mode.

Which tablet?

Bring-your-own parts list (per tablet)

  1. Tablet (recommended, full games): Amazon Fire HD 10 (32 GB). 10.1" Full HD, USB-C, frequent sales. Budget (simple games): Amazon Fire HD 8 (32 GB). Fire tablets have no Google Play, which you don't need: OPPS Ride runs in the built-in Silk browser. Prefer Google Play? A Lenovo Tab M11 works too.
  2. Headrest mount: WANPOOL angle-adjustable headrest mount for 10-inch Fire tablets straps around the headrest. It tilts the screen to cut glare and works with or without a case.
  3. Cable: UGREEN right-angle USB-C to USB-C, 10 ft. The right-angle plug doesn't stick out into a rider's knees, and 10 ft runs from the console to a rear headrest under the seat. Get one per tablet.

One per car: REBEL dual USB-C car charger (65 W shared, 12/24 V). Two USB-C ports power two tablets at once. Alternative: Spigen ArcStation dual USB-C (45 W + 20 W).

Setup guide

  1. Charge and update. Turn the tablet on, connect to Wi-Fi, and install system updates. Set the screen timeout to the longest option (Fire: Settings › Display › Screen timeout) and brightness to auto.
  2. Open OPPS Ride once on Wi-Fi. In the browser (Silk on Fire, Chrome on Android), go to oppsgo.com/ride (no login) and tap the fullscreen button. The first visit caches the start screen and kid games, so they keep working offline.
  3. Pair with your car code. On the first tablet, Opps issues a car code that's unique to you. On your phone, open Driver Assist › Settings › Car tablets › Scan pairing QR and scan the QR code shown on the tablet. Do the same on the second tablet with the same car code (two tablets per code; extra tablets run solo on their own code).
  4. Lock it to the app (kiosk). Fire: Settings › Security & Privacy › Advanced › Screen pinning on, plus “Ask for PIN before unpinning”. Then open Recent apps, tap the browser's icon, and choose Pin. Android: Settings › Security › App pinning, then pin the browser the same way. To unpin, hold Back + Recent apps and enter your PIN.
  5. Mount it. Strap the mount to the headrest, not to the seat back. Keep it clear of side airbags, and make sure the screen can't be seen from the driver's seat.
  6. Power it. Plug the dual USB-C charger into the 12 V socket. Run each cable under the floor mat or along the seat rail to the headrest so nothing loops where feet go.
  7. Test before your shift. Go online in Driver Assist and do a test trip. The tablets should switch to ride mode and back after the trip ends.

Extra: free QR seat card

No tablets yet? Print a free seatback card (PDF). Riders scan it with their own phone to play OPPS Ride. Your phone stays on Uber/Lyft and is never handed back. The PDF has a 4×6, a 5×7 and a 2-up US Letter sheet with cut marks. Optional: a 4×6 clear acrylic sign holder on the console.

FAQ

How long does setup take?

About 30 minutes for two tablets with the guide above. The done-for-you kit arrives already synced: mount the tablets, plug them in, and scan the room QR from Host mode.

How do the tablets stay charged?

One dual USB-C car charger in the 12 V socket powers both tablets through 10 ft right-angle cables run under the mats. Set brightness to auto to keep them cool.

What about theft or riders messing with it?

Screen pinning locks the tablet to OPPS Ride; leaving it needs your PIN. Everything a rider did is wiped automatically when the trip ends. The tablets are cheap Fire tablets with no accounts or personal data on them. For extra peace of mind, add a tablet cable lock looped around the headrest post, and take the tablets inside overnight.

How do I reset one?

Trips reset by themselves. To fully reset: unpin (hold Back + Recent apps, enter your PIN), reload oppsgo.com/ride, and pin it again.

Is it allowed?

Mount on the rear of the headrests only. The driver must not be able to see the screen while driving; many states ban driver-visible video screens (e.g. CA Vehicle Code 27602). NYC: the TLC regulates passenger tablets in for-hire vehicles (approved, fixed-mounted, rider can turn it off) (TLC rule), so check with the TLC first. Don't use Uber or Lyft branding, and never make riders use it. This isn't legal advice.
