what is this remote for?

I have a Forester MBS 2401W. I have a remote for cabover TV, bedroom TV, Jensen navigation, but can't figure out what this remote is for. Any idea?

Never thought of that. When do you use a remote for rear camera?

Maybe to get better angles when backing. Neat idea.

It is the remote for the camera - real handy if you opted for the 3 camera system as you can choose which camera view is displayed.

Thanks. I'll try it, while driving? There are buttons on the camera for selection of different side - left, right and rear. Don't know the advantage of a remote.

The remote works great if you use the camera system for security purposes, when not in the drivers seat.

They put in in there, not sure why. I would tell the supplier just to not ship them to save the confusion...but then the first unit that did not have it, someone would read the manual and ask where their remote was.

Leave it in, and have it labeled. Some will appreciate it, others will leave it in a drawer.

LOL. I got the remote but only have rear camera. The remote is something I definitely will never use.
