Saab has solved the rear seat blues with the introduction of the Saab Rear Seat Entertainment System.

The Saab Rear Seat Entertainment System is a fully-integrated, roof-mounted unit that offers DVD, VCD, CD-R and MP3 functionality.

It also features infrared headphones and a remote control unit for fuss-free operation. Infrared headphones also allow for front-seat occupants to listen to and enjoy their own entertainment through the Saab’s standard in-car music system.

The Saab Rear Seat Entertainment System features a 17.5 cm wide colour screen with the disc loaded directly into the unit rather than a boot-mounted changer as is common with less sophisticated systems.

The unit is matched to the interior roof lining for a fully integrated, quality finish. It is also supported with a 12-month factory warranty.

The introduction of the Saab Rear Seat Entertainment System continues Saab’s ‘infotainment’ rollout following the release of Saab’s fully-integrated TEL2 in-car telephone for 9-3 Sport Sedan and Convertible, which also provides mobile office function through Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

The TEL2 accessory is priced at $1,400 and the Saab Rear Seat Entertainment system at $3,650.

With the Saab Rear Seat Entertainment System the back seat chant will change from ‘Are we there yet?’ to ‘Slow down so we can watch the end of the movie.’
