BU Monitor or Radio Combo?

(1/2) > >>

Steve Huber:
Our coach has a Bose Lifestyle system and a Clarion dash radio with a built in BU monitor. The monitor (and or camera)is about shot. Additionally the ergonomics /controls on  Clarion are anything but clear. When on the road, we use the Bose system system since the main amp has to be on for any audio.

So, I'm thinking that I should remove the Clarion radio and replace it with a good quality back up monitor since I don't use the radio function anyway. I noticed some of the radios also have GPS functionality but we've used a Garmin for years and are happy with it.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Am I missing anything? Any recommendations?
Thx, Steve

Gerald Farris:
Steve,
There are two main reasons for poor video from the back-up camera. The first and most common reason is poor connections at the camera. The other reason is a dirty lens. Either the camera lens, or the lens in the rear cap that the camera is focused through.

Steve Huber:
Gerald,
Thx. I've cleaned the lenses at the camera and cap but need to check the connections. BTW, Does your monitor come on automatically when R is selected?

Gerald Farris:
Steve,
I have a different radio than you do. My coach came with an Alpine radio and navigation system, and the back-up camera is not tied to the transmission selector.

Gerald,
Thx! Anyone else have recommendations?
