Rear Seat Entertainment 8

The Ultimate Rear Cabin Infotainment Experience

Land Rover engineers design the Rear Seat Entertainment 8 system to create a fully immersive digital environment for rear-seat occupants. Our retrofit solution replicates the factory specification exactly, using only genuine JLR components, brackets, and wiring looms. The installation integrates directly with the vehicle’s Pivi Pro infotainment architecture, enabling control from the front touchscreen or the rear displays themselves.

Each 11.4-inch screen mounts securely to the driver and passenger front seatbacks with bespoke trim panels that match your vehicle’s interior finish. The displays support HD resolution and respond instantly to touch, swipe, and pinch-to-zoom gestures. Passengers can watch content from onboard apps, connect personal devices via HDMI or USB-C, or stream wirelessly using the integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 modules.

Technical Specifications and Integration

We configure the Rear Seat Entertainment 8 system precisely to your vehicle’s CCF (Car Configuration File) and electrical architecture. The retrofit employs a dedicated Media Hub controller module that communicates over the vehicle’s high-speed CAN and MOST networks. This ensures flawless audio routing to the Meridian surround sound system or wireless headphones.

• Display Panels: Dual 11.4-inch IPS LCD touchscreens with 1920×1080 resolution and anti-glare coating.
• Connectivity Ports: One HDMI input and one USB-C 3.1 port per screen for fast data transfer and device charging.
• Wireless Technology: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for onboard app streaming and Bluetooth 5.0 for headphone pairing.
• Audio Integration: Full compatibility with Meridian Surround and Meridian Signature Sound systems, plus independent rear zone audio control.
• Source Independence: Each screen operates independently, allowing one passenger to stream a film while the other plays a game via HDMI.
• Power Delivery: Integrated USB-C ports provide up to 15W device charging per screen while media plays simultaneously.

Installation and Coding by Certified Technicians

Our workshop team completes every Rear Seat Entertainment 8 retrofit with meticulous attention to OEM standards. The process starts with seatback panel replacement, where we exchange the original rear panels for the dedicated RSE carrier assemblies. We then route the shielded LVDS video cables and power harnesses through the seat frames, following Land Rover’s original wiring paths and clipping points.

After mechanical installation, our qualified technician connects the vehicle to the Land Rover diagnostic tooling (Pathfinder and SDD where applicable) to update the CCF. The Pivi Pro system then recognises the new rear entertainment hardware as a factory-fitted module. This integration activates the front-screen shortcut tiles, the rear climate, and audio sync controls, and ensures software-over-the-air updates will maintain compatibility for the vehicle’s lifetime.

We complete a full functional test including HDMI source detection, wireless headphone pairing, USB-C media indexing, and screen mirroring performance before returning the vehicle. Every retrofit carries our comprehensive warranty on parts and labour.

Vehicle Compatibility

The Rear Seat Entertainment 8 system supports the latest MLA-Flex and D7x platform architectures. Owners of the following models with the Pivi Pro infotainment system can discover enhanced rear cabin capability.

We confirm your vehicle’s exact compatibility using the VIN before scheduling the retrofit. Earlier model years may require additional module updates — contact our team for a personalised assessment.
