Audit system and new flip screen JVC unit

June 22, 2020, 12:29:57 pm

I finally found a single din flip screen unit to replace my old Emerson monitor.  It's a JVC 7014, purchased from Crutchfields.  It has three video inputs one for the rear camera, two auxiliary, one on the front of the unit that is a mini pin, the other a RCA on the rear.  I also didn't see the need to continue to use the ford factory radio as well, so I removed it and have installed a wood grain plate in the place of it.  The JVC has apple car play, Bluetooth, IGO Mapping software and a whole bunch of other great features as well.  Excited to be able to stop using my Rand MCNally RV gps as well.  I am also going to purchase and see which of the two engine monitoring systems as well.  I am leaning towards the Bluefire setup due to it being compatible with all three platforms, iPad, windows tablet as well as android.  I want to set up and run VMspec as well it just seems a little more limited to what you can put on the display in the way of GUI.  I will post pictures as well.  Also planning a turbo blanket as well as wrapping the exhaust to help lower intake temps and engine compartment temps as well.  Recently we traveled to NC 2800 mile round trip and averaged 8.1 mpg.  Another tidbit I had a driver side drive axle seal leaking so I bit the bullet and purchased a 3/4" impact and sockets to remove the dual wheels.  Upon replacement of axle seal I found my intermittent ABS brake fault, wheel sensor wire shorted, replaced it as well.  Those things will create all kinds of drivability issues with how the transmission shifts and behaves.  The coach ran better than it ever had since we purchased it 3 years ago.

That is what I thought but if he puts that on his posts it would help others with similar coaches.

Ok pressure solutions.    We are very lenient on here but by not having your coach model in your signature we will make you feel like Jason White at an Aggie game. 

Ours is a 4220 as well.  Great setup. 

Anyone who figures out how to put their coach picture in the signature should get a merit badge.

Is there any chance that your JVC 7014 is the Jensen 7014? I searched and couldn't find JVC 7014.

Check out the cool vinyl on the dash filler plate as well to fill in the spot for the factory ford radio
