    If there is any update to get rid of the compatibility issue it might be back. If not, then it won't be a feature.

    Unless I am mistaken, the last systems the SiBEAM wireless product worked correctly with were M18x R1 and M17x R3.

    Yeah I miss this feature; but you can use the HDMI out and use the vizio transmitter/receiver for nearly the same functionality. (yeah I liked it built in too...)

    retrofitted into my M17xR4 and it worked fine, but I don't use it enough. Just gathering dust now haha, but you can definitely retrofit it.
