The system for rear seat entertainment is a mobile entertainment to keep the rear seat passengers occupied and amused with TV-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.
There is an internal CAN network between the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE)/DVD-player and the screens for the transfer of information. This CAN network is not connected to the vehicle's ordinary CAN network.
Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) is integrated in the DVD-player and can receive signals from up to three AV-inputs and supply video to two separately controlled screens. The control module can also supply output signal to an external screen.
The control module/DVD-player is installed in the storage compartment in the center console.

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
- DVD Audio
- VCD
- SVCD
- DivX
- WMV
- Audio CD
- Kodak photo CD
- MP3
- MP3 Pro
- playlists in M3U format
- WMA Sound.
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 under the cover for the center console. Other audio and video sources can be connected to the system via this panel, such as video cameras, games pads, or portable DVD and CD- players.
Two pairs of wireless headphones are included in the system. The sound is transferred to the headphones via an IR transmitter in each screen.
Audio can also be played in the vehicle's ordinary speakers via the connection from Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) to Integrated Audio Module (IAM).
In the storage compartment between the front seats there is also an AUX-input where, e.g., a portable CD or media player can be connected. When an audio source is connected, the sound from it can be played in the vehicle's ordinary speakers, by selecting "AUX" as audio source on the audio panel.
The system is controlled using an infrared remote control, which also can be used to control the DVD-player and screens.
