| Use rear-seat buttons to control main audio? |
|
I'm going crazy trying to figure this out - could it be possible that there are four separate sets of rear-seat audio controls on my disco yet none of them can actually control the main audio (ie. what is being heard through the speakers, as opposed to the headphones)? Unruly passengers have requested control and it would certainly be less of a pain for me if they could just do whatever they want and let me drive! I have the premium audio system on a 2008 MY. Any help would be much appreciated.

I not sure which i have, its 6CD with audio buttons in the back and Bluetooth (maybe premium), i dont know either how they work but my passengers do and p  s me off pressing the buttons and changing the tracks, cds and radio station! In my opinion its best they dont know!! 
If anyone knows a way to disable this feature i would be interested to hear!
If you still want to know how they work, ill ask my passengers and pass it on!  '16 Volvo XC90 R Design Bursting Blue (Vera)

From the 'Premium Stereo' manual...
http://www.landrovertechinfo.com/extfree2v.../index.htm
REAR AUDIO CONTROLS*
With the starter key in position I or II, the rear
audio controls can operate, regardless of
whether the audio system is switched on or not.
However, the output can only be heard through
the headphones.
If you are listening to the same source as the
main audio unit, only the volume can be
adjusted via the rear audio controls.
For example, if a music CD is selected on the
main audio unit, you can also listen to that
music and adjust the volume to suit your
requirement. No other CD functions will be
available. If however, the main audio unit is
switched to another source, all CD adjustments
achievable with the rear audio controls become
available. If the main audio source is
subsequently switched back to CD operation,
the rear audio controls will again be limited to
volume control only.
The same logic applies to radio functions.
Adjustments can be made to other parts of the
audio system.
For example, if a music CD is selected on the
main audio unit, radio can be selected and
controlled by a passenger using the rear audio
controls. All radio adjustments achievable with
the rear audio controls become available.
Headphones with volume control
The maximum volume available to this type of
headphones is limited to the volume set at the
rear audio controls.
Note: Only headphones compatible with a
3.5 mm jack plug socket can be used. To obtain
optimum sound quality, use headphones with
an impedance of 32 ohms.
1. 3.5 mm headphone jack.
2. Pre-set/Disc select.
During radio play, a short press will select
the next pre-set radio station. A long press
will change the frequency band (MW, FM,
etc.)
During CD play, a short press will select the
next disc.
3. Mode control.
A long press will select AUX.
When in AUX mode, a short or long press
will return to the previously selected mode.
Press to toggle between radio, CD and Rear
Seat Entertainment*.
Note: When Rear Seat Entertainment is
selected, all adjustments are made through
the remote control.
4. Seek down.
During radio play, press to seek down
through the frequency band to the next
available station with good signal strength.
During CD play, a short press will skip back
to the beginning of the track being played.
Press again to skip back to the previous
track. A long press will search back
through the track being played, until the
button is released.
5. Seek up.
During radio play, press to seek up through
the frequency band to the next available
station with good signal strength.
During CD play, press to skip forward to the
beginning of the next track.
A long press will search forward through
the track being played, until the button is
released.
6. Volume decrease.
Press to lower the headphone volume level.
7. Volume increase.
Press to increase the headphone volume
level.
Note: When the headphones are not connected,
the buttons remain operational. This means
that it is still possible to select CD, for example,
whilst the radio is playing through the cabin
speakers. The CD unit will remain operational
until the mode control is pressed to select
another mode.
The mode in use when the starter key is
removed will resume if the starter switch is
turned on again (position I or II) within two
minutes. If the starter switch is turned off for
longer than two minutes AUX mode will be
selected when the starter switch is next turned
on.
If, for example, a CD is playing when the key is
removed, play will recommence when the
starter switch is next turned to position I, or the
engine is started. This is regardless of whether
the headphones are in use or not.
Note: Adjusting the volume on the main audio
unit, does not alter the headphone volume. The
volume level of each controller can be adjusted

Thanks Frogfoot, I've already read the manual a million times, however those instructions all tell you how to control the through-the-headphones audio, it doesn't say anything about what's coming through the speakers as far as I can tell...?

Tried everything I could today and still nothing... Rear controls will do nothing to control the sound that is coming through the speakers. Am I just attempting the impossible?

I think you are. Plug a pair of headphones in the socket next to the rear seat controls. The sounds comes out of those but will not change the track/source being played through the speakers! Also, the speaker below the controls doesn't turn off which is a pain! Ben

Yes you are. You can only control the volume in the headset. Chaos would reign in the seven seat vehicle if all four of the auxiliary remote locations could control the master control.  '06 LR3 4.4 V8 HSE Heavy Duty package, Satellite Radio, Luxury Package

Thanks for the help! It would be nice to at least have the option to let the passengers control, but alas I will have to keep playing DJ...

I dont know if you have sorted anything regarding this yet but i just been lookin through my manual and noticed you may be able to switch off and on headphone sockets and rear entertainment using the voice commands (not tried it yet!)
All the commands are on page 340 of the main instructions, if you cant find it in yours let me know and ill type them out for you! '16 Volvo XC90 R Design Bursting Blue (Vera)

Thanks Skep, I saw that & tried it (didn't work). I think that the voice commands are for the accessory entertainment system (ie the one with DVD player and screens in the back).
