RSI includes two or four 2-channel
new digital wireless headphones
depending on the vehicle model.
The headphones are used to listen
to various multimedia. The wireless
headphones have a power icon,
Channel 1 or 2 switch, and a volume
control. The digital headphones
cannot be interchanged with
previous models of GM
headphones.
Press the power button to turn on
the headphones. A light on the
headphones comes on. A flashinglight indicates the headphones are
not in range. Move them closer to
the forward overhead screen until
the light stops flashing. If the light
does not come on, check the
batteries. Intermittent sound or static
can also indicate weak batteries.
See
“Battery Replacement” later in
this section.
Turn the headphones off when not
in use.
Move the channel switch to
channel 1 or channel 2. Channel 1
will play audio from screen 1 and
channel 2 will play audio from
screen 2. When a third row screen is
available, the screen will display the
selection related to 1 on the remote
control. If 1 is not available, press 2
on the remote control. Channel 2 will
provide audio based on its setting.
. Screen 1 is overhead in the
second row.
. Screen 2 is overhead in the
third row.
Infrared transmitters are on the top
of the second row video screen. The
headphones shut off automatically if the RSI system is off or if the
headphones are out of range of the
transmitters for more than
three minutes. Moving too far
forward or stepping out of the
vehicle can cause the headphones
to lose the signal or have static.
Use the volume control on the
headphones to adjust the volume.
For best audio performance, wear
the headphones as indicated with
L (Left) and R (Right) on the ear
pads. Do not let anything cover the
ear pads.
Caution
Do not store the headphones in
heat or direct sunlight. This could
damage the headphones and
repairs will not be covered by the
warranty. Storage in extreme cold
can weaken the batteries. Keep
the headphones stored in a cool,
dry place.

Wi-Fi (If Equipped)
The RSI Wi-Fi allows the user to
access music, videos and pictures
that are saved or taken with a smart
device to the RSI system through
Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) applications. Only one
smart device can be connected to
the RSI at one time.
Placement for Optimal
Performance
The RSI Wi-Fi antenna is near the
RSI disc player. The smart device
connection is stronger when it is
near the Wi-Fi antenna.
If the network is not operating at its
maximum effectiveness, try the
following:
.
Disconnect the smart device
from any other connected
network to improve the audio/
video performance.
. Switch the band. While in any
Wi-Fi screen, select Menu, then
select Switch Band to access a
band that is available. Some
marketing regions will only
support 2.4 GHz.

screen will display a Wi-Fi
network name, such as
“DIRECT-xx-Rear Seat”, as
well as the required password
necessary to complete the
connection.
2. Make sure the smart device’s Wi-Fi is enabled, and open the
device’s Wi-Fi menu.
3. From the smart device’s Wi-Fi menu, select the network.
If this network is not shown at
the smart device, it will be
necessary to re-scan for
available networks.
4. Enter the RSI Password at the smart device to complete the
connection. Once entered, the
selected network will display as
connected.
