I've read the previous posts regarding RSE (Rear SEat Entertainment) issues with the volvo xc90s on this forum, and I'm in the same boat with the owners regarding this system.
This is the first or second generation RSE entertainment unit that volvo installed in the center arm console with the two screens in the headrests with 4 pairs of headphones. Throughout the course of owning the car the unit was not very reliable - wouldn't work, would work, ask for disk to be formatted with original movie dvds and now - nothing, no power, zippo.
Batteries replaced in remote, all fuses checked - rear cargo area passenger side fuses, rear cargo area driver side, front fuse panel on driver side, under the steering wheel fuse panel and yes, I even removed the fuse from the physical unit in the arm rest itself (4amp) fuse.... All the fuses are fine.
should i just get a new in the arm rest or under the seat dvd player or should i continue to look at each wire like a previous post and see if one is burned out? the 12v cigarette lighter works on the unit, which leads me to believe that power is going to it. I'm just frustrated - try telling a 3 1/2 yr old and a 2 year old why they can't watch tv on long car trips, not easy when the see the headrest screens right in front of them.
I just don't want to get hosed with a big price tag to fix this, and the guy that I would trust with after market installs is no longer in the area.....would never take it to a best buy, my ipod connector doesn't work any longer when they fixed the sirius satellite receiver, they also made the SRSS light come on which says air bag is not working properly - though they justified this by showing me some threads on volvo's website that anything can make this light turn on (read a previous post here regarding this issue when a guy changed his wifes air filter) way too tempermental of a car.
anyone have experience with the quality mobile website? their prices look okay and they say they'll answer questions on the phone, I'm just stumped what my next move is.
