Circuit/System Description

The rear seat entertainment system has an auxiliary input assembly that contains two USB ports, an HDMI port and a wired headphone jack with volume control. Refer to the Owners Manual for information on compatible devices and supported media types/formats.

HDMI port 

An HDMI cable is required to connect an HDMI device to the rear seat entertainment system. The auxiliary HDMI input allows connection to many devices, some examples are: Video games, disc players, cameras, smart phones and tablets.

USB ports 

The USB ports interface with a hub device, internal to the console assembly. The assembly receives fused battery voltage and ground from the harness to power the internal hub device as well as providing additional amperage to power USB devices.

The internal hub device interfaces directly with the media disc player via a standard USB cable and an LVDS cable (for the HDMI). Mini type USB connectors are used to connect the cables at the media disc player and the auxiliary input assembly. Mini type USB male to female connections are used for connecting USB cables together where in-line connections are required. In-line cable connections are typically found between the console and I/P harness.

The USB port allows connectivity to the rear seat entertainment system from portable media players or a USB storage device (memory stick/ flash drive).

Once a supported device is connected to the USB or HDMI port, the device may be sourced to one or both of the rear displays using the remote control.

Wired Headphone Jack 

The wired headphone jack is used to connect an additional set of headphones to the system. Audio for the wired headphone jack can be from either the left or the right screen source and is selected using the remote control.

Audio to the wired headphone jack is transmitted through the vehicle harness from the media disc player. A rotary control near the headphone jack is used to adjust the volume.
