IR Headphones

[AmbulanceDan]

Hello. New to the 900 platform, just bought a used 2014 ESV Platinum. I love my 800 Tahoe. But here’s my issue and I’m sure there are many like me. My used esky did not come with headphones or remotes for the RES. My limited understanding is there is a remote for the headrests and one for the overhead. Same with headphones, both are IR I believe, overhead is typically channel 1&2 while headrest is 3&4.
Are there aftermarket 3rd party headphones that will work? The OEM headrest headphones are hard to find and apparently very pricy $150-300 EACH. FML. The over head ones seem more readily available. Would like to know my options or more information to work around them.

Used to see them on Ebay all the time.

Good ol eBay has let me down as of recent. They show up sometimes, but again being new to the 900s I don’t know if any from 07-14 will work, or if they are compatible with 15-20 RES. I know they have changed a bit over the years but I don’t know the specs or to what extent the OEM GM parts sites have several superseding part numbers. Keep reading horror stories of people getting them and having them not work. I would love to have some for the overhead as well as the head rests. Is an IR headphone an IR headphone? Like BT stuff? Or is GM some special ir frequency?

Welcome from SoCal. All the part numbers you’re looking for are in this thread.

Crackheads got into my 09 and stole every headset and item that wasn’t tied down a few years ago. Fortunately they missed the Platinum remote that was in the seat back.

You’ll have to search by the freq on the A&B channels to find out which company is making them now. They stop production every few years and come up with something new.

Looks like somebody made a copycat remote for the trucks with headrest monitors
