Infrared (Ir) Control

Each screen houses an infrared receiver. The IR receivers are directly connected to the rear seat entertainment module (RSE) (16/109) and are activated when the rear seat entertainment module (RSE) is supplied power. When a button is pressed on the remote control, it emits a signal with infrared light (IR). The coding of this signal varies depending on which button was pressed. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver below the respective head restraint screen (16/164 (left), 16/165 (right)) and is forwarded to the rear seat entertainment module (RSE) for processing.

It is also possible to control the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) via the keypad on the Climate control module (CCM). Using Parental Control the command from the keypad on the Climate control module (CCM) is processed before the command from the remote control.

Control via remote controls is achieved by first selecting left or right screen or Integrated Audio Module (IAM). Depending on which of the two screens that received the command, the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) selects A/V or audio source for the screen. Then the other screen is selected to also select source for that screen.
