This replacement cable is sold as an aftermarket repair part intended to return signal continuity to the factory rear-seat entertainment (RSE) DVD monitors. Buyers must confirm their vehicle's OEM part number before purchasing because models and production runs can differ even within the same year and trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this ribbon cable fix a black or split rear-seat screen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ribbon cable transmits video and control signals between the DVD monitor and the vehicle’s entertainment module.
