How do I find out which model of radio I have?

[GiddyupgoTX]

The Pioneer radio/CD/DVD/camera etc. installed in our rig appears to be an upgrade from the one described in the coach owner's manual. I can't figure out what model it is, though, to try and locate an owner's manual for the radio, Right now we can't even figure out how to turn it on!

To the right of the unit is a SiriusXM-ready logo, and on the far right it says MIXTRAX. When I look on the Pioneer web site, there appears to be a number of MIXTRAX models. How do I determine what our model number is?

Thanks!

Can you take a picture and post it that would be most helpful. On my Pioneer there is a vertical panel panel on the left side in the middle of that panel is the power on.

Chances are its a Pioneer AVH-X3600BHS. That or a slightly newer version is what Winnebago was using in Vista/Sunstar in your time frame. It's what mine has. I attached the manual for that one, split into 2 files.

Does the display come on and display the rear backup camera view when you run the RV and put it in reverse? It should.

It should come on and show its main display or the rear camera view depending on how it's currently set up when you turn on the ignition key.

It should also come on if you operate the Coach / Chassis Power selector switch to Coach in the center of the dash near the radio even if you don't have the key on.

It may or may not have a SiriusXM module already installed behind the radio inside the dash. If it does you will have a SiriusXM selection on the main menu and you should be able to tune to SiriusXM channel 0 to see the radio ID and channel 1 to hear the demo station.

Picture attached.

Yes, there is a vertical panel on the left side of mine. Is the power on a light rectangle with 4 little squares?

Thanks.

Thanks for the manual. Hopefully I can learn something by going through it. This thing has been a challenge!

Initially when I turn the key on the screen comes to life and says something about a connection not being established. This stays on the screen until I press No, at which time it goes to the camera.

Going down the road the camera stays on, unless one of the two side cameras takes over because a turn signal is on. Sometimes there's quite a pause between turn signal on and side camera on.

I THINK I may know what/where the Coach/Chassis Power selector switch is, but I'll have to get in the rig to scope it out.

Again, thanks.

That is NOT a AVH-X3600BHS. It is a AVH-X2700BHS. The model # is on the faceplate in the lower left corner. So, the manuals I posted are not the right ones.

I am not sure if yours has a touch screen or not. You should be able to open up google.com and google search for AVH-X2700BHS manual and find the manual to download.

The message that connection that is not being established is likely it trying to pair with the prior owner's cell phone. You can clean that out.

You might want to do a factory reset and start from scratch but beware the defaults may make the rear and side view cameras stop working if the factory defaults don't match the current video camera input settings.

As Gomer Pyle used to say, "Well, gollleee!" I looked at the picture I uploaded, blew it up on the computer screen, and in the lower left corner saw a model number: AVH X2700BS. My old eyes never even saw that in the rig!

Now to see if I can get a manual for THAT model. If not, I've still got the other one for reference. Maybe there will be enough commonalities that at least we can get it to work!

Thanks, folks!
