Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
If your vehicle has rear seat audio (RSA), this feature
allows rear seat passengers to listen to and control any
of the following audio sources: AM/FM tuner, front
CD player, and XM™ Satellite Radio Service (if
equipped). However, the rear seat passengers can only
control the sources that the front seat passengers
are not listening to. For example, rear seat passengers
may listen to and control a CD through headphones
while the driver listens to the radio through the
front speakers. The rear seat passengers have control
of the volume for each set of headphones.
The front seat audio controls always have priority over
the RSA controls. If the front seat passengers switch
the source for the main radio to a remote source,
the RSA will not be able to control the remote source.
You can operate the RSA when the main radio is off.
The DVD or auxiliary device will always be available on
channel (CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones.
All other RSA sources are available on CHB or CH2 of
the wireless and wired headphones. If the RSA is
off, the wired headphones will provide DVD or auxiliary
device audio. You will not be able to listen to XM,
on CHB or CH2, if you are listening to a DVD or an
auxiliary device on CHB or CH2 and vice versa.
The remote control will not operate any of the
RSA features.
O(Power):Press this button to turn the system on or
off. RSA CHB or RSA CH2 will appear on the display
when the system is on to indicate the channel to receive
audio for the wireless headphones.
Press this button when the system is on to silence the
rear speakers. Press this button again to turn the sound
back on.
BAND:Press this button to switch between FM1, FM2,
AM, or XM1 or XM2 (if equipped). The selected radio
station will appear on the display. If the front passengers
are listening to the radio, the RSA will not switch
between the bands and cannot change the station.

THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft of your
vehicle’s radio. The feature works automatically by

will not operate and LOCKED will appear on the display.
