Axxera AV614bh has died & need replacement

On my 2016 Thor Ace, the Axxera Av614bh receiver has died.
Axxera and Crutcfield say it is discontinued without a direct replacement.
It controls the DVD/ CD/ RADIO/ USB/ backup camera and side cameras
that come on when using the turning blinkers.
Does anyone know of a different model or make that can do all that & fits
in the dash holder (6.2 inches I think). I can make wiring changes-- but I need the best starting point.
Thanks, Jim Govoni

All I have is a rear camera. I had a Kenwood put in. They were able to use the existing wire harness and camera works just fine. Pretty much a plug in and play.

Almost any double DIN radio unit will fit. Good news for you there are some outstanding alternatives to the Axxera. I replaced my Axxera with a Kenwood.

Kenwood has several models to choose. It was a drop in. Function and performance that blows the Axxera away. I particularly like the dual Nav and rear camera display.

Axxera AV614BH Replacement

I was wondering about the screen resolution and the quality of the image for your camera(s) - rear and side cameras on the unit that you put in place of the Axxera. Was the clarity and brightness at a satisfactory, usable level? My Axxera is working for all functions, but the picture resolution and brightness from the 3 cameras is very so poor, they are just about worthless. I wanted to know if it was worth the money and effort to replace the Axxera to get a unit with great camera resolution. Thanks.

Replacing the display (radio) does not change the source (camera) resolution.
