The rear seat entertainment system is a mobile entertainment system for keeping rear seat passengers occupied and entertained with video games or movies.
The system is fully integrated in the car and has two separately controlled, high-resolution 7-inch screens mounted in the head restraints.
The rear seat entertainment module (RSE) is integrated in the DVD player and can receive signals from up to three AV inputs and can transmit video to two separately controlled screens. The control module can also send an output signal to an external screen.

The following media formats can be played by the DVD player:
- DVD-R/+R
- DVD-RW/+RW
- CD-R and CD-RW
- CDDA
- HDCD

The following information formats can be played:
- DVD

Formats such as THX and DolbyDigital are also supported. Only stereo signals of this audio format are reproduced.
A connection panel with AV inputs is mounted on the rear section of the center console. Other audio and video sources can be connected to the system via this panel, such as video cameras, games consoles or portable DVD and CD players.
The system includes two pairs of wireless headphones. Audio is transferred to the headphones via an IR transmitter in each screen. Headphones with wire can be used by connecting them to the socket in the AUX panel on the back of the center console.
Audio can also be played in the rear speakers using the rear audio separation module (RAS).
The system is controlled via an infrared remote control, which can also be used to control the DVD player and the vehicle's front audio system (if installed).
