Stereo unit in Cedar Creek fifth wheels

What kind of stereo unit is in the Cedar Creek fifth wheel's? Looks more like an automotive stereo and not the traditional Jensen or Concertone that I am use to in my current and previous RV's. I really like my current Concertone, it has Bluetooth that I use to play music from my smartphone. In reading what little I can find about the Cedar Creek stereo, it has an ipod dock.
I know there is a bedroom entertainment option available that looks like a Jensen. Just wanted to know what that is in the LR entertainment area.

Car stereo - Dual is the brand name.

Quality - not great - but it works. Our Remote has already died and will need to be replaced. But with it tied into our outside speakers thinking of replacing it with a Blue-Tooth enable stereo so that we could connect the iPod to it and use that like a remote when we are sitting outside.

Also make note that the inside speakers are 110v. There was no option in 2013 for a stereo in the bedroom let alone a dvd player that I know of.

I have to agree that the radio and system lacks quality. In most cases I can't even get the TV or DVD players sound through the bar which drives me crazy. If anyone has figured this system out I would appreciate feedback. Not a good pick by Forest River in my opinion.

Would you mind posting them here as I have the same stuff, but have not tried anything but the radio, as I have only boondocked since I got the trailer, and if I have a problem it would be nice to know the solution.

Ok so Tv is on input 1 and radio is input 2. Feeling in the back of the tv, locate the cable wire. There are two rows of standard RCA jacks. The row towards the outside of tv (towards cabinet door) has 6 jacks. White wire from sound bar plugs in last jack farthest from cable input and red plugs into next one.

On TV setup under sound turn off TV speakers.

Make sure sound bar is on the right input. You need to press input button twice to change inputs...

If so, that makes it very easy to replace with a better quality car deck. Most manufactures have models that have direct ipod control, and bluetooth for streaming music. Many now offer direct app control for Pandora and other apps.
