Rear Entertainment System Problem (08 GL 450)

Hey guys,

I could use your help. My passenger side screen is frozen in AUX 2 mode. Has anyone experience this? I have pressed every button known to man in the remote, but nothing works. The drivers side screen works just fine, strange

You help is appreciated. Thank you.

Proll'y needs to go in for an RSE reset. Mine froze once and the dealer reset in 5 minutes.

You most likely can. I just didn't find any instructions anywhere and was hesitant to yank each fuse out and then put it back in. So I took the lazy road.

I had a similar problem this week. System froze - screens would not come on (tried with remote and manual) and DVD would not eject. I thought it was the fuse since I had to jump start the car (forgot my fog lights on all night). Anyway, pulled the fuse (it was OK) - that did the trick and reset the system. Avoided trip to dealer. Fuse number 23 in rear cargo area for my car. Fuse configuration is not in manual, it's actually in a seperate sheet resting in a compartment above the spare tire. Go figure. Oh and there are several locations with fuse boxes, not just one!

Thanks Slim Nicky! I had the same issue, jump start and then no more rear entertainment. I could see the fuses were still good so never took them out.
Been searching the internet for days and found nothing until I came across your post. Took the fuse out and put it back in and now it works like a charm. So I thank you and my kids thank you.

My RES will come on sometimes and sometimes it will not. Sometimes when its on and playing it just turns off by itself. Anyone ever had this problem or have any idea of whats going on?
