Rear Seat Entertainment now available in the Volvo XC60

Keeping rear seat occupants entertained, especially children, has never been easier with Volvo's Rear Seat Entertainment System (RSE). The System includes a screen and DVD player fitted to the back of each front head rest. An RSE option is already available in the V70, XC70, S80 and XC90, however, Volvo is pleased to announce that RSE is now available for all XC60 customers at a cost of £999 including fitment and VAT.

The XC60 system consists of two bright LCD screens in 7" widescreen format mounted in the front headrests. The screens can also be tilted to minimize the risk of sun dazzle and reflections in bright conditions.

The DVD players are integrated into each screen and enable rear seat passengers to watch different movies. Discs are inserted from underneath, making it easier for children to use, and also prevents small things from being inserted down into the DVD device. The system is equipped with AUX inputs that allow the connection of external sources such as iPods®, MP3 players and games consoles.

The RSE system also contains two wireless headsets and a wireless remote control. All the devices have been thoroughly tested and fulfill Volvo's high safety demands.
