Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
Vehicles with an 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. 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 front seat passengers listen
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. RSA
can operate when the main radio is off.
