Does anyone know if there is an input plug on the back of the RV radio? See the coach make and model below.
Want to hard wire my Lowrance gps iway 500c( it also plays mp3 music) into the radio/stereo system. Thanks

Not on mine, see coach info below. I wanted to connect my XM Sat radio directly, but so far cannot. Some one advised pulling the "RV Radio" out using the 2 wire removal tools in your INFO KIT. That worked but there is no usable connection found. The radio antenna & a multi-pin connector which ARE NOT secured to the dash mounting box, presented another problem. The multi-pin connector unpluged itself whe the radio was removed, but the cabling was too short to allow it to be reconnected when re-installing. This required removal of the top dash cover's. I had done this before to gain axcess to install some additional 12VDC outlets. On my model the right side cover has to be removed 1st, the the larger left side, a very easy job. If you determine how to make this AUX connection, please let me know.

Just got off the phone with Magnadyne. It seems I have a straight M9900 radio and there is no audio input jack or wires on the back of this radio. She told me to look on top of the radio to see for sure which 9900 I had. M9900-1 has two wires for audio input. I know it will be just my luck to have the 9900. Good Miles and

One thing you might try - if you have a "Mode" button, it steps through all the input sources. If you have the aux inputs on the back, the Mode button should include an "AUX" input mode. Mine is a model M9999, so I can't give you a definite answer.

Just a thought - if you have the four family radios in the holder at the entrance you can remove that unit very easily and get at the back of the radio.
