What's the "TFT LCD" remote for?

Hmmmm, so still haven't figured out what one of our remotes controls. It's the tiny remote control - business card size - and is labeled "TFT LCD" "Monitor Mobile". My only guess would be for the rear view camera, but seems odd to have a remote for that, and it doesn't seem respond to this remote. All the other remotes have been matched to their respective TV's, etc.

Inquiring minds.......

It is supposed to be for the back up camera system. Mine stays in the pouch beside the driver seat but I have never tried to use it. Actually forgot about it until just now. Does seem impractical as that's not something I want to mess with while driving.

Don't know if you have bunks but on my 350 the bunks have flip down monitors that use a small remote like that.

Definitely not the bunk tvs...I've accounted for those. Must be the backup monitor. For those times when reaching over from the driver seat and changing the settings manually is too much effort.

You may want to check if it is to your dash radio. On our 335 a small remote controls the radio output such as when playing DVDs to the TVs. It allows you to play/ pause / skip etc. from across the room.

He has the exact same coach as ours. There are six remote controls. One each for the living and bedroom TVs. One each for both bunk bed TVs. One for the head unit which has umpteen buttons on it, and the smallest one which belongs to the camera system. It allows you to switch cameras, etc.

Like this one? Not sure if the pic will attach or not. If so, it's different than ours. You can look up the model number to see if it comes with a remote...or someone with the same unit can verify.
