CD and listen to it through the
headphones, while the driver listens
to the radio through the front
speakers. The rear seat passengers

headphones (not included) plugged
into the jacks on the RSA. If the
vehicle has this feature, audio can
also be heard on Channel 2 of the
wireless headphones.
The audio system mutes the rear
speakers when the RSA audio is
active through the headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable
audio device through the RSA,
