Awesome to remote control the kids ipad from my iphone in the car. It works when I share my iphone internet to the ipad out of the box.

What I would love is to be able to start his offline content stored on the ipad. Have not found a way to do this.

Just trying to catch up on this suggestion. It appears this is working as described using the new [download feature](https://forums.plex.tv/t/sync-is-dead-almost-long-live-downloads/725520) which is targeted to replace mobile sync.

Sounds awesome. From which Plex Server version is this available? Do I need to enable it somehow?

Kind regards

See the link to the related announcement above.  
The limiting factor is to have the latest version of Plex for Android – from what I remember, this version of Plex for Android will require PMS 1.18.3(?).

The feature is still in test mode (as per the announcement above 😉 ) – you can opt-in (and out) from the app settings (`Settings` \> `Sync` \> `Enable new downloads`)
