Is Rear Seat Entertainment video viewable on my Yukon's NAV display up front?

I recently purchased a 2004 Yukon Denali with the factory non-touchscreen Navigation Bose radio. It included the RSE (rear seat entertainment) with 1 ceiling mounted DVD Player/Display and 2 wireless headphones.

Is there a way to view the DVD video from the RSE on the NAV screen up front? I've searched this and many other forums and I believe it's possible on certain GM vehicles (such as the Cadillac Escalade), but all I ever see on my NAV display is a blue RSE screen with OFF, Mute ALL, Mute Front and Mute Rear selections on the right side. I've tried this in PARK, with the parking brake, engine on, just accessory to no avail.

I've read that some can do this and realize that I may have the wrong head unit, but wanted to call upon the the expertise of the forum to see if I can solve this.

Thanks much in advance!
Brian

Here's a picture of the headunit.

Thanks in advance!

Found my answer finally. This headunit will not display video up front without substantial modification or a third party add-on.

I thought I was wasting my time trying to "hold buttons in for 10 seconds" to no avail. Rather than make any major changes, I'll tap into the AUX-IN on the RSE DVD player so I can play my MP3 player through the system without buying any additional third-party gear.

It seems that most of the posts that showed these radios were so old that they had been removed so I'll leave these pictures on my share for a while.


Blessings,
Brian
