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 a CD
in the front radio and control it 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 headphones, as well as the wired headphones. If
the RSA is off, the wired headphones will provide DVD or
auxiliary device audio. The rear seat passengers will not
be able to listen to XM, on CHB or CH2, if the front
passenger is listening to a DVD or auxiliary device.
The remote control will not operate any of the RSA
features.
