Actually, let me clarify the "bug" I described earlier--if the front has selected XM on the front head unit, the rear is not able to select CD or DVD audio via the factory rear audio control--I'm not concerned about what you can listen to via the rear wired headphone jacks, just the ability to even choose/select either source. If the front has selected CD or DVD audio via the front head unit, the rear is unable to select XM using the rear audio controls. On a similar note--if the rear is listening to CD via the rear controls and the front decides later on to switch from say FM to XM, the rear will find that he will no longer be listening to CD once the front selects XM on the head unit. Note that the above-mentioned problem appears to be limited to those with the factory nav head unit, slave 6-disc CD changer, and rear audio controls; I think this problem doesn't exist with a regular factory XM head unit w/ built-in 6-disc changer...but I could be wrong; Mhuntoon--you could verify this if you are willing to see if the above problem exists with your setup (since you don't have the factory nav head unit)?
Mhuntoon--yes, you read correctly; the rear can listen to DVD movies playing on the RSE via the wireless headphones while the front person is able to simultaneously listen to/select XM on the front head unit through the factory speakers. Not to insult your intelligence or anything like that, but since only one source can be coming out of the factory speakers at any given time, I don't think you'd be able to listen to ESPN up front if the kids are watching/listening to Nemo via the factory stereo speakers...not unless you want to deprive them of Nemo so that you can listen to ESPN; I wish the factory audio system was designed that you could set up the front speakers to play one source (e.g., XM) while the rear speakers (not just headphones) play a different source (DVD)...but that would be asking too much of the General. Also keep in mind that the factory wireless headphones are only for listening to audio playing on the RSE (I could be wrong here but I'm pretty sure I'm correct about this)--it will not pick up audio from any other factory audio source (CD changer, XM).
'05DenalID--I was wondering if you could please if the above bug has been fixed for '05 (I assume you have an '05 based on your screenname)? Like I said, it sucks that the rear passenger can't choose to listen to CD via the rear audio control headphone jack just because the front has selected XM on the main head unit.
