Outside Jenson Radio on 351ds

[vanderwerff]

On my 2016 351ds, has anyone upgraded the controller for the radio outside under the t.v.. It would be nice if it was bluetooth or just something I could hook my phone to and use spotify. Or does anyone know of a hook up out there that I just haven't found? I know inside the camper the stereo/DVD has the option to select different speakers but it seems the only hooked up are the speakers inside the camper. Is this the same with everyone else with 351ds?

The way mine was hooked up from factory is the aux input was from the tv so that the outside tv played on the outside speakers

I want to one day get a splitter for the aux input to hook up an iPod outside to the radio

I don't know if your outside Jensen radio is similar to the one on my 2014 328TS. My radio has a USB input on the back of the radio that was accessible by removing a panel at the back of the under-sink cabinet. After installing in a USB extender and replacing the panel, it is easy now to play music from a USB memory stick on the outside radio.

If your radio is similar, I would think you might be able get a USB Bluetooth audio receiver to plug in to the USB port (seems like I have seen them on Amazon for not much money).

Another possibility also might work. I got a Bluetooth receiver/FM transmitter that plugs in to the cigarette lighter below the radio in the front dash. This lets me stream Pandora from my phone through the front FM radio while driving. It works good for the front radio. I don't know if the FM signal would be strong enough to be received on the outside radio (I haven't tried that)
