The Relay is distinguished by its wide choice of passenger entertainment systems including a standard DVD rear-passenger entertainment system with rear-seat audio controls and auxiliary audio/video jacks, and optional Mobile Digital Media Powered by PhatNoise.

The available Mobile Digital Media Powered by PhatNoise system utilizes a pocket-sized, 40-gigabyte hard drive cartridge that installs in the Relay's overhead rail system. The system's capabilities include:

• Storing and playing back up to 10,000 songs in MP3, WMA or WAV formats.
• Storing and playing up to 40 typical movies in MPEG 4 format.
• Storing and playing a combination of songs and movies.
• The ability to provide the software for playing classic video games.
• The ability to provide a voice-browsing interface – if the driver wants to listen to music, the system tells him or her over the radio speakers the song's name, allowing the driver to run through a list of stored music using radio or steering wheel buttons.
• Listening to audio books, magazine or newspaper articles transferred from a PC or downloaded from the Internet.
• Allowing simultaneous listening to two entertainment sources.

The PhatNoise system's hard drive cartridge is easily removable, so it can be connected to a home PC or laptop to download computer files for playback in the Relay, giving passengers an unprecedented level of entertainment customization. A six-disc, in-dash CD/MP3 player and XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only) are optional on all trim levels. The Relay 3 also comes standard with dual wireless headphones. XM Satellite Radio provides more than 120 coast-to-coast, digital-quality channels of original commercial-free music and premier news, sports and talk as well as advanced traffic and weather information for select major metropolitan areas nationwide. Consumers can subscribe to the basic service for $12.99 a month. In addition, GM customers with GMAC financing can choose to include the XM subscription in their car payments.
