Replacing Xite/Riverpark XSG3NA in a 2018 Era 70A

[chloescoach]

For those that have removed the riverpark/xite infotainment: What are the white/green/black wires for on the back of the unit? I have all the rest figured out, but these are not in the schematic.
This unit does have mobileye, which i dont care if I retain. Could it be that? White green and black are typically left right and green.

Why are you replacing the Xite system? What specifically do you not like about it? I know there are many reasons to do so but what causes you to do so?

My first impression is those wires are power, but that may be totally incorrect. I’m not sure how MobileEye was connected to the Core Unit.

I had the same system, minus MobileEye, in my previous motorhome so I’m pretty familiar with it. I’ll have to do more checking of my files.

The unit is dying. I'm also running into issues with the hsd/lvds backup camera, but that's another story. If you replaced the head unit and got the video to work on existing camera, I'm all ears.

There are folks on IRV2.com that have replaced their Xite system. But generally they all had the 10” screen models. That system was and is still installed on B and C RVs with a 6” screen and Class As with a 10” screen. I know folks with the 6” screen have replaced their Xite system but since I had a 10” version I mostly paid attention to those kinds of discussions.

You may have better luck with model specific discussions on the Era Facebook group. Certainly some there have done this job.

We usually suggest folks call Crutchfield for help with this kind of info. https://www.crutchfield.com. And several have reported good success with this. Either that or taking your RV to a local Car Audio sales/installation shop (probably no where close to Granby, CO).

Steering wheel controls and harness - if replacing riverpark/xite xsg3na

Winnebago orders all w906 as radio delete option and adds a canbus relay unit and god probably doesnt know where that box is. Once you remove the looped harness for house power, etc., the canbus wires from the original harness are dead.

Solution- tie into the small brown wire immediately adjacent to the brown/red wire on the hazard harness with the PAC SWI generic canbus harness.

Also, the metra harness for the radio delete version needs to be re-pinned for the constant voltage and key-on voltage. They are reversed.

While you're at it, move your GPS antenna for your new head unit to on top of the dash where its supposed to be.

Also, the white green and black are can high can low and ground. They are useless without the can relay in place.

Viola. Easy peasy. May my six hours of research and multi-metering help someone else.
