The audio in my GL's rear seat DVD is really staticky, as anyone else had this in their wireless headphones?

 

Wireless? Are we talking about the rear seat entertainment system that has the two screens behind the headrests or the other one that has a single screen that flips up from the center console? I believe my PE has wired headphones. I did not get wireless ones with the car.

FWIW, I have actually had 4 different cars (other makes) with wireless headphones and have not ever had any static issues with them.

I actually prefer the wired ones because you can go and get high quality replacement earbuds anywhere. The wireless ones in my other cars work well but they are bulky and fall apart.

 

I have the TV's behind the headrest (2 tvs) and they have wireless headphones that are really really staticky (too much static to enjoy the movie).

 

That's really wierd. I will have to ask my dealership about that tomorrow. I got factory MB wired headphones (pretty nice ones too if you ask me) and I do not see a wireless transmitter anywhere for wireless headphones. If it does take wireless ones, I will try my wireless headphones from another vehicle. They are all pretty much universal these days.

What did you other PE guys get?

 

Got wired Headphones here.....

 

My PE also has wired. Work great!

 

Now I'm curious though. Why would we get wired ones with the PE while GL_450 got wireless ones with his? GL_450, do your screens have the headphone jack at least?

 

Nope no headphone jacks... I will take pictures.

 

Here are some pics (sorry... taken with phone)

 

Is it After market Rear Seat DVD ?
It is not like the stock ones comes with PE.

It may be aftermarket but it came from my dealer? If it is aftermarket the company did a really good job making it look stock.

 

Now that makes perfect sense! They are aftermarket for sure. In that case, the static issue is one that I would take up with the dealership because it's not normal. Since they installed it, they should warrant it. I have had 4 wireless headset DVD players in my cars and none of them had static issues but they were all factory installed systems.

 

Ok, thanks I will bring it up with my dealer.

 

A tip off would have been a sticker that said "Dealer Installed accesories" and a seperate add on price. How much did they get you up the six for it?

 

I think it was close to $2,000 even.
