Rear entertainment and aux port
Morning.
Ahead of a 5hour drive next week I've been wrecking my brain how to be able to use the aux port for music whilst the kids watch films. Currently they use plug in headphones but if they use infra red do you still have to have the rocker switch set to the rear entertainment or is this my solution to not having to spend 5hours searching for radio stations due to poor reception? I do have a usb port but android phone and no music anyway to put on a flash drive as I solely stream music. |
The DVD screens each transmit IR signals to the IR headphones
So the IR headphones are completely independent of the main stereo audio Set your kids up with IR headphones And set the AUX switch to the AUX port, connect your personal music source to AUX And then you have radio/nav/phone/aux as you wish, and the kids listen to the DVD as they wish. |
Fantastic! Thank you.

Hi
Do you know what type of universal headphones you can buy as my volvo ones are broken. Thanks |
Ciaran, Tells us where you are in the world, what model year Volvo you have and what type of rear seat entertainment (RSE) system you have.
The RSEs vary by year and by market. |
Re headphones, in the UK both IR and RF systems were used.
If you have the Volvo "factory" system, single DVD player in the centre front arm rest then you have IR headphones. Alt if you have a DVD multichanger under the floor in the rear, then its the Volvo UK system and it uses RF headphones. Obviously the systems IR & RF are incompatible, so take care choosing bits and get the correct ones, a search on the forums will get you all the info you need. Hope it helps.:regular_smile: |
Thanks for replying.
I'm in the UK - it's the single dvd player in the centre armrest - car is a 2012 R Design. Must be the IR ones I'm guessing. I've had a google and I'm stumped as some of the IR ones I've seen don't apparently work with our car. |

I was quoted £190 for 2 which seems a tad excessive. I'd read that you could buy generic panasonic ones but I can't find them available anywhere.
