Remote

Can anyone tell me what this remote is for? I have a 2015 Forester 2801 GTS and have several remotes, all of which I have identified except this one. Any help would be appreciated.

looks like it could be for your mirror mounted backup camera monitor, especially if you have side cameras.

That remote is for the side / rear cameras. It works with the screen that replaced the windshield mounted rear view mirror. You can use it to turn on a side view camera, without using a turn signal, and to switch views.

Was wondering the same thing. We only have backup camera ( no side view). I tried the remote with the backup camera but nothing happened. Maybe a dead remote battery

Me too. I will have to replace battery and try again. My MH is stored off property so I will have to let you know later when I give it a try.

Try turning the system off using the Red power button before selecting a view. Our MBS was weird in that sometimes you had to cycle the system off and back on with the remote to be able to select a different view. Weird but it solved the problem...

Our GTS, with the same brand system, hasn't needed that "fix" yet...
