Since I got my replacement magnadyne works fine, pretty nice for a rv, streams my iPhone great, plays DVDs great, even played with equalizer and sound great. I know it had faults but most rvs we looked at had basic junk radios.
I use google maps for navigation on my iPhone

Thanks Debbie
I went back to one of your threads to see which one you had gotten then I ordered one like it. I remembered you saying how much you liked it.

I had trouble with my since I got it, kept shutting down on me just when I needed it the most. Have talked to magnadyne about it and they helped but after fixing that problem I just didn't like the way it navigated. That's what I use my for the most is navigation then watching some DVDs.

Great! I really like the navigation on it as well. We use it all the time, even though we know where we are going. I like to see "arrival time".

Yep!! Here's a pic of us at a FL rest stop on our way to Key West last month!

Henry, if you got this one, you will love it! IMHO

Debbie - looks like yours is the 6990. Mine is the 9990 - no knob or buttons on the left. It has tiny buttons on the bottom for volume, source, mute, phone, nav, and disc. But they are hard to select without leaning over and studying it! I like yours better with the knobs, etc. What I don't like about mine is the main menu icons dancing around if you don't touch them exactly right, and there's too much busy-ness on some of the screens. To each his own, I guess. I wish I had bought the one like you have.

Just thought I'd show the paint pictures. The door had to be replaced due to a gap large enough to see light through. This is a brand new MH. Door install went good, paint, less than desirable. This was done at one of FR's chosen paint shops in Elkhart. A before picture might help, but I don't have a good one. That lighter tan stripe is all but correct. Second picture if you look close you'll see the nice tape line. Our previous coach needed the door replaced also, but traded before doing so. I'm too much of a perfectionist to deal with anything like this again, so this is the end of our painted RV expedition.

I see ... it really doesn't look bad and if you didn't know - I don't think you would even see the difference. But, you do ... and that is what matters. I'm sorry - I know it is very disappointing, especially since it is a new. It is a nice looking rig - hopefully as time goes on, you will no longer notice it and will have many happy times in it. :-)

We'll get over it. I've noticed though the more I spend on one, the more aggravated I get when things break. I fealt a little at ease moving to the class c from the A (less $$$), but nowhere near as laid back as I was with the fifth wheel or trailer (WAY less $$$). And even more at ease when they're paid for. That's just me. Always been that way. I guess I notice it more since I saw it go from one stage to another.

And I on the other hand was relaxed and comfortable with previous units but now just a blob of relaxation. Walk through the door or get behind the wheel and it is magic
