Adding 2nd radio to Discovery

[Gig_em]

I have a 2010 Fleetwood Discovery. The radio volume knob doesn’t work. I was thinking about leaving the cameras hooked up to this unit and adding a new radio in the open area to the right of the existing unit. Has anyone done this? Any issues?

Fred - No. Great thought, but it’s the same problem that happens on many radios where you spin the knob and the volume does what it wants. I’ve seen some videos that recommend spraying contact cleaner in the connection. The way this one is sealed doesn’t seem to help.

Wa8yxm - Great suggestion. Thank you! Sure enough. Still in it’s original package in the cabinet where I put it 10 yrs ago. I’ll get a new battery tomorrow and see if it works.

I’m still interested in putting a 2nd radio so I can leave the camera on and have the radio or map up as well if anyone has done this.

Does the radio come with a REMOTE?

I have found the Radio function on most Motor home radios to be a bust. Lack of proper antenna. though I do use it as an audio player.

Now... on my system there is a separate stereo POWER AMP hidden under the dash (Since it can be put in any handy spot I won't say where) IT came with an OPTIONAL "Gain" control (the control and wires are in my Owner's bag) ...

Any chance it is one of those new-fangled radios where the volume knob does 17 different things and it is just set on an unwanted function?
