Rear seat entertainment module (RSE)
The Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) is the central module for rear seat entertainment. The control module is located above the glove box.
The control module interprets and performs the commands given by the user via remote control or via the keypad on the Climate control module (CCM). these commands are forwarded to the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE). The Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) also distributes current to the system's other components.
The Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) distributes audio and video signals from the A/V panel or from the integrated audio module's (IAM) DVD player, USB input or AUX input or digital TV from the Television Module (TVM). One screen can playback media from the A/V AUX panel at the same time as the other screen plays back digital TV or media from the DVD, USB or AUX panel, and vice versa.
There is an internal CAN network between the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE)and the screens for the transfer of information. This CAN network is not connected to the vehicle's ordinary CAN network.
Support available for following formats:
- mp3
- wma
- wav (Performance)
- aac (High performance, High performance multimedia, and Premium sound multimedia)
Versions of Integrated Audio Module (IAM) with DVD-player handles playback of compressed video formats from DVD.
Support available for following formats:
- MPEG1 according to Video-CD standard
- MPEG2 according to DVD-Video standard
- MPEG4 (DivX/Xvid) only for file types.asf,.avidivx.
Versions of Integrated Audio Module (IAM) with DVD-player handles playback of compressed video formats via the USB-connection.
Support available for following formats:
- MPEG4 (DivX/Xvid) only for file types.asf,.avidivx.

The control module is +30 supplied from the battery.
Screen, head restraint
The multimedia head restraint consists of the following main components:
- Screen unit with integrated holder and circuit board.
- Head restraint pad.
- Headset socket
The screen is attached to the opening on the rear of the head restraint cushion and is held in position in the head restraint cushion frame by two screws.
On the lower edge of the screen there is a window so that infrared signals (IR) from the remote control can be received by the infrared receiver on the screen's circuit board, and the integrated infrared red transmitter can send audio signals to the wireless headphones.
The 8-inch screen in the head restraint has an aspect ratio of 15:9. The screen is positioned to provide the optimal viewing angle. The screen has a 140 degree horizontal respectively 120 degree vertical viewing angle.
The screen has an integrated temperature sensor that registers the temperature inside the screen. The temperature signal is sent to the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) via the CAN network to prevent the use of the screens with a too high or low temperature.
The integrated infrared receiver is activated when the screens receive power. The receiver receives infrared signals from the remote control and performs these commands. The infrared receiver is also directly connected to the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE). When the ignition is switched on, the infrared receivers' and transmitters' lamps illuminate weakly.
The screens are activated when the vehicle is in operation and can be switched on using the POWER button under the respective screen or via the keypad on the Climate control module (CCM).
The screens are supplied power and grounded via the rear seat entertainment module (RSE).
To check whether a screen has power and ground, you can start the vehicle and then switch on the system with the remote control. The screen will then come on.
Infotainment remote control
Remote control infotainment is used to control the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) and most of the other functions that can be controlled via the keypad on the Climate control module (CCM) or via the buttons on the steering wheel. Using a button on the remote control select whether you want to control the left or right screen, or the Integrated Audio Module (IAM).
Headphones
The wireless headphones can be used on both screens. The sound to the headphones is transferred from the screen via infrared signals (IR) to the headphones in two channel stereo format. The headphones are powered by an internal battery.
The headphones are switched on using a button on the side and the volume, in each earpiece, can be adjusted using a knob. The headphones also have a channel selector which controls the audio channel received by the headphones. The sound from the left-hand screen is always sent on channel A and the sound from the right-hand screen is always sent on channel B. A LED is lit when the headphones are switched on.
A/V AUX-panel
There is an A/V AUX panel with external input connections for audio/video in the storage compartment. This input can be used for supplying standard AV signals to the system such as video camera, video games console or portable media player.
All three inputs on the A/V AUX panel are directly connected to the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE).
