This system will help you seamlessly make calls, read or dictate text messages, navigate to a destination, stream music, podcasts and audiobooks and more!

This system includes two LCD monitors that are built into the front head restraints. Passengers can enjoy DVDs and video games together or independently. Audio can be played through the vehicle sound system or discreetly through the available sets of wireless headsets. This system will help make road trips painless!
