Core Capabilities
Seat Doctor™ - Fix Broken Seat Audio
The key differentiator from hardware adapters: IFE Bridge can actually fix damaged or malfunctioning seat audio. Hardware Bluetooth adapters just pass through the broken signal—they can't fix mono seats, remove hiss, or balance volumes. Learn more about Seat Doctor →
