The Chevrolet Rear Seat Media System: First-Class Entertainment

For parents in Metro Detroit, the phrase "Are we there yet?" is the soundtrack of every long drive. Whether you are heading up I-75 for a weekend at the lake or embarking on a cross-country holiday trip, keeping passengers entertained is the key to a peaceful journey.

The Chevrolet Rear Seat Media System changes the equation entirely. Available on the new Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, this state-of-the-art system turns the back rows of your SUV into a mobile cinema. It allows your passengers to stream movies, play video games, and enjoy their favorite content in high-definition luxury, making the drive just as fun as the destination.


Not Your Average DVD Player

Forget the tiny, flip-down screens of the past that forced everyone to watch the same grainy movie. Chevy’s modern system features dual 12.6-inch diagonal LCD HD touchscreens. These massive, tablet-like displays are mounted to the back of the front seats, providing a vibrant and immersive viewing experience for second-row passengers, and they are large enough for third-row riders to enjoy too.

Key Features for Peace of Mind:

  • Independent Viewing: The two screens can operate independently. One passenger can be gaming while the other streams a show, ending the arguments over what to watch.
  • Touchscreen Simplicity: The interface is as intuitive as a smartphone. Passengers can tap, swipe, and scroll to select content effortlessly.
  • "Swipe to Share": If the kids do agree on a movie, they can share content from one screen to the other with a simple swipe gesture, syncing the playback instantly.

Bring Your Living Room on the Road

The true genius of the Rear Seat Media System lies in its connectivity. It is designed to work seamlessly with the devices your family already owns and loves.

  • HDMI Inputs:

    Each screen is equipped with its own HDMI port. This means you can plug in a gaming console (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch) or a streaming stick (Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV) to access your full library of apps and games on the go.
  • USB-C Projection:

    Easily connect compatible smartphones or tablets via USB-C to mirror content directly onto the big screens.
  • Bluetooth Audio:

    While the system includes two pairs of wireless digital headphones, it also supports Bluetooth connectivity. Passengers can pair their own favorite AirPods or noise-canceling headsets for a personalized, quiet cabin experience.

Smart Navigation Integration

This system even turns your passengers into co-pilots. Using the rear screens, passengers can view the vehicle's current location on the navigation map.

If they spot a point of interest, like a restaurant in Ann Arbor or a rest stop near Bay City, they can send that destination directly to the driver's infotainment screen up front. The driver can then accept the suggestion with a single tap, keeping their focus on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can we watch Netflix or Disney+ on the screens?

Yes! By plugging a streaming device (like a Roku or Fire Stick) into the HDMI port and connecting to the vehicle's available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot (data plan required), your passengers can stream from any app they use at home.

Can the driver control what the kids are watching?

Absolutely. Parents have full control from the front infotainment screen. You can mute the rear audio, lock the screens (perfect for enforcing a "screen break"), or even mirror the audio from the front screen to the entire vehicle speakers.

Do I need to pay for Wi-Fi to use the system?

You only need the in-vehicle Wi-Fi data plan if you are streaming content from the internet. If you are playing a movie downloaded to a tablet, watching a DVD (if equipped), or playing a video game console, no Wi-Fi connection is needed.
