HDMI Input
An HDMI cable is required to
connect an HDMI device to the RSI
hub. The RSI HDMI input allows
connection to:
.Video games, disc players,
cameras, smartphones, tablets,
and A/V dongles that have HDMI
(version 1.4a) outputs.
. Smart devices that support
Mobile High-Definition Link
(MHL) version 2.0.
. Apple devices. A supporting
HDMI cable from Apple is
required.
For certain HDMI devices that
support USB charging, the USB
ports can be used as a power
source.
To use the HDMI input of the RSI
system: 1. Connect the auxiliary device with an HDMI cable.
2. Power on both the auxiliary device and the RSI video
screen. 3. Press MEDIA on the remote
control and use the arrows to
change the source to HDMI.
USB
There are two USB ports to provide
the RSI system audio/video from
supported devices, as well as to
provide device charging.
Audio from these ports can only be
heard and controlled by the rear
seat passengers. Video can be
heard, shown, and controlled by the
rear and front passengers.
To use the USB: 1. Insert the device into one of the two ports.
2. Select the source (USB 1 or USB 2) through the rear screen
menu using MEDIA on the
remote control.
3. Select the source via the front by touching the Video icon on
the Home Page.Audio Output
Audio from a Blu-ray/DVD/CD
player or HDMI inputs can be heard
through:
.Wireless headphones: Available
for any source depending on the
selected channel.
. Vehicle speakers: Touch the
Video icon on the Home Page.
Select any other source to stop
the speaker audio; rear audio
will continue to play.
. Vehicle wired headphone jack:
See “Wired Headphone Jack”
following.

signal to the wireless headphones if
an audio signal is available. See

Front seat passengers can listen to
playback from the attached rear
device through the vehicle speakers
by selecting that source from the
Video Application on the front
display Home Page.

64 Navigation
Enter the POI information into the
text file in the following format:
.Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, “Name of POI,”
“Additional information,” “Phone
number.”
Example: 7.0350000,
50.6318040, “Michaels Home,”
“123 Maple Lane,”
“02379234567.”
. The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees
and can be taken from a
geographical map. The
additional information and phone
number strings are optional.
. The POI name and the
additional information string may
not exceed 60 characters.
. POI information for each
destination address must be
entered in a single separate line.
Storing the POI on a USB Device
In the root directory of a USB
device, create a folder name
“myPOIs.” For example, “F:\”is the
root directory of the USB device. In the
“myPOIs” folder, store the text
file with your POIs, for example,
“F:\myPOIs\TomsPOIs.csv.”
Downloading the POI to the
Infotainment System
Connect the USB device containing
the POI information to the USB port
of the infotainment system.
A message displays prompting
whether or not to download the POI
information from the USB device. All
POIs found are saved even if they
are in multiple folders.
Subfolders can also be created to
organize the POIs into categories,
for example, “F:\myPOIs
\Restaurants\TomsPOIs.csv.”
If the message is dismissed or
ignored, no POI information is
downloaded. This prompt will not
reoccur for the current ignition cycle.
When the system is finished
downloading, a pop-up displays
asking to specify a category for the
new POIs, if desired. Importing and Overwriting
Categories
When POIs are found on a media
device, the date of the file is
examined and compared to the date
for the files already in the system.
If the file being downloaded is
newer than the one in the system,
that particular category of POIs is
overwritten. Any other POIs that had
previously been saved in other
categories are not affected.
Address Book Download
If an Address Book is found on the
connected USB device, the same
alert is used to indicate that
locations have been found and they
can be downloaded. If there is
already content in the vehicle
Address Book, the system prompts
if the stored content should be
overwritten. Touch Save to overwrite
the existing Address Book
information. Touch Cancel to abort
the import of information.
