Rear entertainment system, general
The rear entertainment system provides the rear passengers with audio/visual entertainment. DVD players, MP3 players, video cameras, games consoles and so on can be connected to the rear entertainment system via an AUX jack.

The rear entertainment system consists of the following components:
- DVD player (A40/4)
- Left rear display (A40/5)
- Right rear display (A40/6)
- Remote control
- Infrared (IR) headphones (cordless) or corded headphones

The rear entertainment system allows the following audio or video sources to be used:
- Audio CD / audio DVD or MP3
- DVD video
- AUX

The DVD player and the rear displays are stations on the telematics CAN (CAN A) and communicate with one of the following control units:
- Radio (A2) (with code (523) Radio MB Audio 20 or code (510) Audio 20 incl. CD changer)
- Radio with Auto-Pilot system (A2/56) (with code (525) Radio MB Audio 50 APS or code (511) Audio 50 APS incl. DVD changer)
- COMAND controller unit (A40/3) (with code (527) COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation) or code (512) COMAND APS incl. DVD changer or code (528) COMAND incl. DVD changer)

In AUX mode, external video sources can be used. They are connected either to a rear display or to the DVD player.

On vehicles with code (527) COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation) or code (512) COMAND APS incl. DVD changer or code (528) COMAND incl. DVD changer, the rear entertainment system provides access to the active audio or video application of the COMAND controller unit.
This functionality must be enabled via the COMAND controller unit.

This audio or video application is actuated via the COMAND controller unit. The rear entertainment system does not provide any selection options here.

The rear entertainment system is operated using the system's remote control. The rear passengers can select menus on the currently active rear display using this remote control.

The control signals from the remote control are transmitted to the currently active rear display via IR interfaces.
The audio signals are then transmitted from the rear display to the headphones (cordless) via IR interfaces.
If corded headphones are used, the audio signals are transmitted as analog signals from the rear display to the headphones via a cable.

The rear entertainment system consists of the following subfunctions, which are described in separate documents:
