Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
Vehicles with a rear seat audio (RSA) system 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
can 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 is not able to control the remote source.
You can operate the RSA when the main radio is off.
The DVD or auxiliary device are 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 wireless headphones, as well as the wired
headphones. If the RSA is off, the wired headphones
provide DVD or auxiliary device audio. The rear seat
passengers are not 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 does 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 skips over the source when this button is
pressed. Hold this button down to turn off RSA.
