Title: I need to replace Blaupunkt monitor in 2005 U270. Need tank monitors +rear view
Post by: cdm on June 12, 2017, 10:18:02 pm
Due to my recent electrical voltage spike issue (which has now been resolved,) I need to replace my Blaupunkt dash mount monitor system. It was damaged beyond repair. What I really miss is the back up camera and the tank monitor functions. I have been told the Clarion NZ 503 will fit in the existing space. I see it has rear view camera capability. I have not been able to determine if it will also monitor the tanks.
Any advice as to any system that will work in place of the Blaupunkt would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

I recently replaced my Clarion VZ401 with a Jenson VX3013.  Both have camera and aux video inputs.  The aux video input works fine with the javelina tank monitor.  I'm satisfied with the Jenson...about $200.00.

Thanks to Bill, Carol & Scott,

What is procedure for removing the Blaupunkt and getting access to the wiring? Do I start by pulling the dash surround off from around the  components and instruments? I have hesitated when it comes pulling the dash apart.

Thank you

The dash comes apart easily in my 03.  Just snaps out.  And my unit uses the Javelina system.  The radio is just the monitor. Do you need to replace both monitor and system?  Sorry can't be more help.

I am using a Kenwood KVT-7012BT with good luck.

Unless I missed something (a good possibility), I don't see the year or model of your coach. That can determine how easy it is and what will fit.
