Go back to post 18 and click on the link as an example of what is available.
There are hundreds of alternative radios that are not axxera. They all are an easy install for anyone with some experience or they're an hour at a stereo install shop(I suggest this path)

Axxera is the LAST brand of radio you would want to buy.

We had to replace our AVM111NAV under extended warranty with the AVM211NAV and it could not be ordered from/through Thor, but could only be purchased by dealer service places like CW, which was where we had are done. It was a direct replacement and literally took 5 minutes to swap.

Yeah I had my 111 replaced also with a 211 because of a warranty issue. They managed to crack the screen before delivery.

I will probably upgrade the unit this season and though.

Any Double DIN unit with RCA AV camera input will work. Take your pic.

Did you go back to post 18 and click the link?
There are a thousand choices but this is the one I chose due to having an older and VERY complicated eonon(it spits an EIGHT Inch screen out the front of a single din, then flips it sideways, then flipps it Up...flawlessly even with a tablespoon of moab dust in it) unit that works fine in an offroad situation. I had no ther reason to choose them other than the radio had the features I wanted. There were too many choices for me to not be overwhelmed, so I went with kinda what I kinda knew.
I'm estatically pleased with price and performance.

Reading on youtube about radios is boring and confusing.
CW has an extremely limited set of options.

I bought my eonon myself, but I had it installed by a stereo shop for $100. I didn't need the trauma of a wire color being wrong a dropped screw, a broken something because I didn't have the right tool.

We have had two people here recently post of their new stereos.
If you read their story without prejudice you'll see that one is an awful fit and the other has a lot of things missing.

High end Sound can't begin to be important in a vehicle with a 70 decibel background sound, so you can disregard those folks who say they need to hear the click of the stick hitting the cymbal.

Go to a pro, tell them what you want if the 1,000 different amazon selections start to meld together.
Buy an amplifier while you're at it. Radio is hard to hear in an rv.

Deep breath... pay the bill.

Asking anyone here to tell you what to buy is like asking someone to go buy a car for you. All the cars will transport you from point A to Point B but is it the kind of car YOU like.

Any Double DIN radio will receive radio stations and if it has an RCA video in back for the backup camera it will display that video. It is up to YOU to decide which radio with which features and at which price will meet YOUR needs.

The Axxera AVM211Nav is the same radio as the AVM111NAV But is up graded with SiriusXM RADIO. The Navigation is the same.

Thanks got that. The issue is getting your hands on one of these units. Unless you go thru Thor or other RV OEM and pay duper premium for probably the worst radio out there.

I see a lot of negative comments about Axxera radios. They are made by Dual radio in South Korea. Dual is a very respected name in electronics. They own several major audio companies. Don’t write them off so quickly. They have been supplying Rv/marine audio for many years now.

To all my Thor friends. If you removed the screen Please BEWARE NOT TO PUSH TO HARD ON THE EDGES OF THE SCREEN. When I picked up my 2019 Thor Hurricane 34j the radio did not come on. So the technicians removed the screen and tried to reinstall it. Finally another tech was called and he pushed the screen back on. The radio began working so I drove it home. Upon arrival at home I noticed THE SCREEN HAD CRACKED AND PIECES BROKE IN SIDE. This made the radio useless. This was a AVM111NAV the Thor replaced the radio with an AVM211NAV. The difference between the radios is the AVM111NAV is not SiriusXM comparable the AVM211NAV is.
Both radios have an AUX in button on the screen, but my MOTOR COACH did not have an AUX in connection (no 3.5 plug). Usually the Input USB has an AUX in with it. I have looked at the wiring diagram and I don’t see an AUX in port. Has anyone found it?
