Replace Axxera Radio

[Mattandjulie]

We tired of the crap Axxera radio without having Apple CarPlay and overall poor performance. We elected to have a audio store replace it with an
Alpine iLX-W670. We were concerned about back up camera compatibility and requested if it wasn’t able to use existing camera, not to install the new unit.
Got a call in 90 minutes saying it was ready to go and it works great. Now we have CarPlay and SXM via the phone and the camera looks to have a better picture.
So, now I have a used crappy but functional Axxera AVM70 along with its wire harness and a Axxera O1-CB17MER (whatever that is. A little grey box) you can have. Haines City, FL location.

Getting it installed is the way I went.
I walked over and got a burger while they did all the frustrating yet mundane crap. I do not need to learn one-off, hopefully never to be used again, chores masked as skill.

And
It's very gracious of you to offer it for free. I had no luck giving my axxera away.

I have the crappy Axxera AVM70 in my 2022 Four Winds 24f. The original one never mirrored my Iphone and Thor paid for the replacement. The second one stopped working altogether with a blank screen despite evidence that there is power going to the unit. Tried all of the Reset options and finally contacted Dual Electronics who said that they would replace it if I sent them the unit. I ended up breaking the trim around it trying to remove it only to find that the bezel was screwed in to the frame holding the radio. At this point, I think replacing it with a different brand would be the best option since two radios have failed and the screen is worthless if wearing polarized lenses anyway. I contacted Crutchfield who had a couple of options raging from $300 to $1700. Wondered if you had recommendations for one that fits the Ford E450 cutaway chassis and works with rear and bilateral side cameras? If so, how easy is it to install? Are the Crutchfield instructions of use?

Double DIN form factor is a standard.
The cameras are switched external to the radio. You only need a radio with a single BU camera input.
