Replacing 1999 rear camera with newer tech and color
My 99 dutch star could use a new rear camera system. I'd like to use the existing wiring. Any recommendations ?

Odds are you have the small Clarion system? To use the existing cable that runs from front to rear depends on how many wires on in that cable. I seem to remember, just 4. So, you need to make sure that the replacement system has NO MORE than those 4 wires. You will find various options and one option may be the newer Wireless systems. The Furrion system can be just a rear Camera or spend $1000 and get the side View cameras also. To POWER the rear Camera, you just connect to the upper Clearance lights OR use the existing OLD Camera Cable and utilize 2 of those wires for Power and Ground. Doug

Yes, I have a clarion. I don't want to go the wireless route. Wired is more reliable.
The Furrion system, we have installed and sold at least 100 over the years and NONE of my customers have complained about reliability. Most of the Furrion's we have installed are on 5th wheel that with a 36 foot 5th wheel and then the monitor in the Truck have never had complaints. Doug
