Radio
Just replaced my Jensen 212t with a jrv9000. I wanted an upgraded sound and the ot g er features that this model offered. I saw it at Goshen rally and spoke st length with Jim Hess, a fantastic rep. Fra ASA electronics. I was hoping this unit would improve the sound pf my already upgraded system. I was not disappointed. Installation was easy with the harness adaptor that can be purchased. I highly recommend this upgrade. Will check out the accuracy of the gps tomorrow. It was easy to program.

Rich,
Nice install! Looks great! How does it handle the cameras and about how much did it cost?

Hi Tom. Handles cameras same as the other unit. Cost is $679.99 on the website, but I got a discount from the rep at Goshen. Also, $40 for the harness adapter, but WELL worth the money.

Looks great Rich. Did they provide any info with the documents about how to get GPS map updates and if they charge for them? -Glenn

What harness did you have to get if you remembers? Looking to do this upgrade soon!

Sorry. Did not save the info. But I did get the adapter through ASA electronics.
Really made install easy. Can be done with included harness, just more time to wire.

Map Updates

The ASA website is pretty disorganized, so I'm not completely sure how accurate this information is for the JRV9000, because I originally found it by looking up the VX7020A, which is a little less competent (only one camera input).
Go to JRV9000R Touchscreen AM/FM/ Navigation/Bluetooth Multimedia System
Download the navigation manual, which is not accessible directly for the JRV9000, but is accessible directly for the VX7020A. Indeed the page suggests that it is only for models VM9726BTC, VX7020A.
It says that for those units, you have a 30 day period after purchasing the unit in which you can get the latest maps for free. After that, you have to buy the maps. If that policy also applies to the JRV9000 maps, it suggests waiting to do the installation until you are at a point where you really want the latest maps.
That document also has a link to the map provider, NavieExtras. Following that link, it says that the map updates are also for the JRV9000, as well as the Magnadyne M4-LCD, which is standard equipment on my 2025 Berk 34QS. Thus, getting the Jensen doesn't seem to give any advantage in getting a better map update policy than I currently have in my Berk.
I notice that they will give a one-time set of maps for Canada, US and Mexico for $69.95, and a one-year sequence of updates for the same countries for $89.95.

Gordon,
To be honest, the NAV sucks. I did not update. There seems to be a disconnect from GPS coordinates and what it shows you on the map. Case in point, I was travelling down an interstate and there was a road running parallel to me. It showed me on the other road. I bought this for the sound, bluetooth and superior graphic equalizer. I am not disappointed on that front.

Rich,
That's good to know. One of my main reasons to switch would be to get a decent NAV system.

A little off topic , has any one with the older (2012) dash swapped out for the wood grain dash?

There is but one Nav system and the name of which is Garmin and the model of which is RV770LMT
You can get a mount that goes right on the dash and gives you a real heads up Nav system...then I can leave the in dash unit on camera so I can keep tabs on the TOAD

There was a series of posts about the wood grain dash panels about 3 years ago. If my memory serves me it was quite expensive in the range of about $800. You might want to look at getting the panels vinyl wrapped like they do on cars and advertisements. It might be a little cheaper and give you multiple alternatives.

Thanks- I thought some one did it or looking into it. But I could not find it in the search. For $800 it will stay the way it is. It was one of the things I really liked in the newer models- along with the color cameras- but I have upgraded the 2 side cameras to color.
I got a vinyl wrap guy down the block- Now I have somewhere to go on sat. with the RV

Bob,
That's a strong endorsement. Thanks.
Garmin units have come down a lot in price over the last dozen years. And, the lifetime Navteq maps are nice. It is a good second opinion for the Tom Tom maps on my iDevices.

LOL Oscar! (Look closely at my dash brother, that's no TOAD - it's a FROG
(Given to me last BamaGanza - it the FROG of the Living Dead )

Bob, given your endorsement (and a check of the feature list), I just picked up a 770RV from my local Canadian dealer. C$550. Probably could save money by buying in the US, but a lot of those guys don't ship to Canada or charge a fortune to clear customs.
The unit is pretty impressive. The voice command thing is pretty useless. I'm sure I'd have road rage (which is an enhanced form of distracted driving) just trying to make it work. So, my wife will manage the unit.
But, the maps are good and the features are pretty comprehensive. I finally got it set to link with the iPhone app, but I don't seem to have cameras, etc that connect to the smartphone app. Calgary does have traffic cameras, but they don't seem to be accessed by the Garmin apps.
Overall, a good purchase.
–Gordon

Gordon,
Glad to hear you were happy with your unit! I am going to try and sell our RV 760 LMT so that I can upgrade to the newer 770
