2014 351ds does your backup camera have sound too?

It seems like the backup camera system should be able to have sound as well. If they do, I can't figure out how to make the sound turn on. Does anyone else have a 351 with sound?

Doubt mine is the same in the 364 but it only works when I'm in reverse which isn't convenient

Mine has sound, you have to navigate the menu to turn the volume up, works ok when DW is trying to give me directions but I have found that using mirrors and her body language works better.

back up camera sound

Mine has sound, radio has to be on ,then adjust volumn.
also there is a camera setting in the radio for full time viewing, but
then you cant see the radio home page until you clear the camera setting.
Difficult to do while driving.

T her was a post on here that stated the factory was not connecting the sound due to complaints. My 2011 has sound.

I have a new 2700DSF and it works the same way as Watertown. Frankly, better to watch wife and her hand-signals. The mic on the camera is not very sensitive, but it does pick up wind noise, if any wind, when in reverse.

Mine has sound. Never use it! I can usually back mine into place without DW assistance. Mirrors and camera make it easy.

If your camera/monitor is part of your radio, that explains why you can control the sound via the radio. My monitor is located separate from the radio therefore it's volume is controlled by its own internal volume system.

Mine has sound also. It is controlled by the radio. Its great when DW is giving instruction when backing up. The only thing I dont like about it is when using left or right turn indicators and they cancel, they make a loud noise that takes away my concentration while driving.

Do not back your bikes & bike rack into an Oak Tree,,, while waiting for the camera to beep like the one in your EDGE does !!! Or you may have to spend a couple hundred dollars fixing things !!!

I also have sound on my 352 when the coach is in reverse or if the flashers are on.

I noticed on my last trip ,when the flashers are on, the back up camera comes on with sound. Learn something new everyday.

Our new 364 has sound in reverse only.. Our old MH had sound all the time so we had to turn it down when going down the highway due to all the wind noise.. I am glad this only has it in reverse
