Did anyone get a separate manual for the rear seat entertainment option? I've found rather oblique references in the Infotainment book and very few in the main manual, but neither seems to be very helpful.
We think we have it generally figured out, but it would be nice to verify a couple of things. For example, how to use the individual video plug on the seat back? My son's tried using the Apple A/V cable with his iPod Touch and it doesn't seem to work. The same device and cable works OK when plugged into the main A/V connection on the center console.
did you find out anything? Im trying to figure this out. Can I play a dvd for my son and have the sound play using the speakers or does he have to use the headphones?
I also have the rear entertainment package (2010) and I have had the Nav system updated via the hardware rebuild. For the first time recently I wanted to use the rear screens and I couldn't figure out a way to display anything.
When you open the screens they "light up" but don't show any images.
From the front system you can choose "Rear Screen 1" and "Rear Screen 2" from the Aux input choice but not from the DVD screen. It will, however, play on the front screen just fine.
I also do not have the remotes or headphones to the rear.
So I'll be looking on the interwebs along with you and I'll be sure to share what I find out.
BTW, I *do* have the 9-5 Infotainment manual and it does not talk about the rear seat DVD function(s).
17802612 is the Saab part number for "front or rear noise-canceling wireless headphones." Not sure of availability; I'm suspicious that these are very similar or identical to regular old GM infrared DVD headphones found in Tahoes, etc.

I think I just pulled a 'duh.' The above part number (17802612) *IS* the GM part #. And you can find them much cheaper if you use this part number, allegedly. I'm going to try it and will report back.
I searched ebay and found the headphones new 17802612 for 25$ and remote 20929305 for around 20$, considering free shipping and no tax it is a good deal.
Search for 'headphones' and find the GM part # 17802612
Then head to Amazon and search using that part #... find a pair for $25 with free shipping!
I ordered one pair (need two), and I'll report back if that pair works.
