Does the Kenwood/Maestro combination work with Rear Entertainment Systems that have dual screens where you can select different inputs for each of the screens? That’s what I have in my 2013 Denali XL.
I have a Kenwood/Maestro setup in my 2012 Denali XL and the RSE works but I don't think you can watch different videos. I'm pretty sure both screens use the same input in the harness.

Ok.

I would want to at least be able to have the kids be able to watch a movie or listen to an audio book while listening on the wireless head phones while I listen to the radio over the speakers.

You can have separate things on the H/U and RSE. I just don't think you can split the RSE.

The factory RSE shows the same thing on the rear 2 screens. You can only choose which screens are on, 2nd row or 3rd row or both. You can also listen to a different input through the speakers while the rear seats watch or listen to something else through the headsets, like you said.

Sounds like the setup itsbo1313 has above does the same.

In my 2013, I can have each screen showing something different.

yes, each ‘ROW’ can play something diff
I must be missing something or not explaining my question clearly.

My kids can play a video game hooked up via A/V jacks on one screen while listening on their wireless headsets and watch a DVD play a movie on the other screen while listening on their wireless headsets while my wife and I are listening to music upfront on the speakers. My question is if I can get an aftermarket head unit set-up that keeps that functionality.

I don't think mine can do that, although I've never tried.
