GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to and control any of the music sources: radio, CDs, DVDs, or other auxiliary sources. The rear seat passengers can control the same music sources the front seat passengers are listening to (dual control, available depending upon radio) or a different source. For example, rear seat passengers can control a CD and listen to it through the headphones, while the driver listens to the radio through the speakers. The rear seat passengers have control of the volume for each set of headphones.

You can operate the RSA functions even when the main radio is off.

Audio can be heard through wired headphones (not included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA. If your vehicle has this feature, audio can also be heard on Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.
