Rear Seat Audio (RSA) (Option B,
Uplevel)
Your vehicle may have this type of rear seat audio
(RSA) system, if it has this feature, it will allow
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 channel (CHB or CH2) of the wirelessheadphones, 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
channel (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.
RSA SRC (Rear Seat Audio Source):Press this
button to turn on the RSA system. Press this
button to switch between playing the AM, FM1,
FM2, XM1™ or XM2™ Satellite Radio Service
(if equipped), or the front CD player. If one of the
sources is not loaded, the system will skip
over the source when this button is pressed. Hold
this button down to turn off RSA.

Mobile Digital Media System
Your vehicle may have the GM Mobile Digital
Media system which is made up of a digital media
player, a wireless game controller, the digital
media storage (DMS) cartridge, the USB 2.0 cradle
(docking station), and the PhatNoise™ Media
Manager software.
See the following information to learn more about
the components that make up the complete
Digital Media system.
Digital Media Player
The digital media player
is contained in an
overhead console. It is
attached to the
vehicle’s overhead rail
system, located
behind the second row
domelamp.
The overhead console has an opening that opens
downward and is used to insert or remove the
DMS cartridge. Pull the panel down to insert the
removable cartridge. Close this panel to completely
hide the cartridge inside the console.
With the DMS cartridge inserted, the digital media
player is capable of playing back all of the content
that has been stored on the cartridge. Audio content
is accessible through the radio and steering wheel
controls. Audio, videos, and games are accessible
through the rear seat video screen.

Selecting Your Mobile Digital Media as the
Active Source
Your radio and rear seat entertainment system
communicate with the GM Mobile Digital
Media system, as one compact unit that can be
accessed by everyone seated inside the vehicle.
The GM Mobile Digital Media system can hold
thousands of songs, hours of videos, and
hundreds of games.
To help use this system, see the following “Quick
Start” information:
Front seat driver and passenger, use the radio
and steering wheel controls to access the
music collection with PhatNoise Voice Index™
technology. The preset buttons can be used
to select the browsing category. The Next,
Previous, and Seek buttons can be used to
browse within a browsing category. Browse the
music collection by artist, album, genre, or
custom playlist as the system uses the voice
mode to announce these selections. See

remote control to navigate the menu displayed
on the overhead DVD video screen, then select

The GM Mobile Digital Media is controlled through
the radio and steering wheel controls on your
vehicle’s audio system. This system functions
differently than a typical CD changer. The Digital
Media system allows you to switch between
different playback modes. These modes determine
the next song that will play. Using modes, you
can browse through playlists, artists, albums, and
genres while the system reads Voice Index™
names to you while you drive. By selecting Playlist
Mode, you can access the music collection in
the order placed onto the DMS cartridge, or you
can have the system sort the music by Album,
Artist, or Genre by selecting the corresponding
Modes.

through the DMS mode of your radio. This
system will power on and off automatically and
