The camera is on all the time. If you set your radio to view the camera input you will see it displayed as you go down the road. Putting the vehicle in reverse sends a trigger signal to the radio to display the camera input.

As your quoted post says, he used an external monitor to display all 3 cameras at the same time. This is done by bypassing the camera switchbox Thor installed and wire the cameras directly to the monitor's multiple inputs. The monitor does all the work/configuration. A monitor similar to this will work:

Easy file transfer using radio usb.

I couldn't find my model number (AV614BH) for the manual or an update on the Axxera website. Does anyone have a link for this model?

Axxera radio

I have a 2020 Thor Challenger with Axxera radio that has GPS, backup and turn signal cameras and Sirius radio plus hand free calling. I need a replacement. Where can I find one that has all the features?

Search 10" double DIN radio on Amazon, Crutchfield, or your local stereo shop(s).

This can be a pain to sort out. Your best and easiest route is to call Thor with your vin# and they will be able to give you all the radio info you need and possibly source you a replacement.

You have three choices.
First you can call Thor to see if you can get a new radio that is the same model as the one you have. That might be problematic if the model in your RV is no longer in production.
Second, if the model is out of production Thor might be able to offer a newer model that is a plug and play replacement.
Third, you could get an aftermarket radio look for a Double DIN radio with a 10" screen. Also, most radios have a SXM add on module that lets you receive the satellite signal. You will only need to replace that if your original Xm receiver is also toast or if it is not compatible with the new radio. https://www.crutchfield.com/ is a good place to start. Replacement with different make / model radio will be a little more difficult but it is something the average DIYer can do in their own. With a little care and proper preperation.
