Checking the Rear Loudspeakers Rear Seat Entertainment, Generation 3.2
Checking the rear loudspeakers
Fault-tracing information
If both headsets function but the rear loudspeakers do not function at the same time as the other speakers in the car, the fault can be due to:
- Cable harness to loudspeaker used by the system for rear seat entertainment.
- Rear audio separation module.
Note! If the vehicle is equipped with a parking assistance system a shut-off function is activated if the reverse gear is selected. This is so the warning signals from the back-up warning system can be heard.

Checking rear loudspeaker
Checking the settings
Check that the loudspeakers have not been switched off via the remote control menu system SPEAKERS.
Check that the volume has not been turned down via the remote control and that there is a sound source (listen at the speakers).
Ensure that the loudspeakers are not obstructed.
If the headsets do not work the fault is more general than described here.
The fault could be due to the control module for rear audio separation providing sound to the headsets but not the speakers.
Note! If the vehicle is equipped with a parking assistance system a shut-off function is activated if the reverse gear is selected. This is so the warning signals from the back-up warning system can be heard.
Checking the wiring for the loudspeakers
Check the following wiring between the control module for rear audio separation and the rear loudspeakers.
- Left-hand loudspeaker terminal #A8 (Speaker L-)
- Left-hand loudspeaker terminal #A11 (Speaker L+)
- Right-hand loudspeaker terminal #A9 (Speaker R-)
- Right-hand loudspeaker terminal #A10 (Speaker R+).
Also check the loudspeakers for damage.
Checking the channel selector
The control module for rear audio separation receives a channel selection signal from the rear seat entertainment module (RSE). The signal informs the control module for rear audio separation what sound should be heard from the rear loudspeakers. If this does not work satisfactorily this signal is the cause of the fault. If the signal is 0V no sound will be heard from the loudspeakers. There might not be a fault but a selected setting carried out via the remote control, menu select SPEAKERS OFF.
Check the cable for the channel selector. This is the cable between rear seat entertainment module (RSE) terminal #C6 and control module for rear audio separation terminal #A18.
Checking the control module for rear audio separation
If no fault is found, replace the control module for rear audio separation.
Remedy as necessary.
