    Suggestion for Replacing Furrion 7200 in 2500RL?

    The Furrion ration in our new trailer is horrible. I would like to add SiriusXM to a new radio. Does anyone have suggestions on a replacement? Thx Ed

    First off, welcome to the forum. You may find something on Crutchfield, this one (https://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KDT....html?tp=96441) appears to have what you're looking for. Be sure to check the opening in your 2500RL to see what would fit.

    If you can bluetooth over to that existing radio from your phone and you have the Sirius/XM app on your phone it might be less expensive than a new radio and another S/XM fee.

    Another alternative, which I use, is a nice BT speaker I can use inside or outside (or anywhere).

    My Jensen radio gets practically no use at all.

    That Bluetooth suggestion is a good one, you may find the Jenson would sound better with some new speakers.

    Yeah the stock "entertainment system" in these new and not cheap RVs is a joke. My old 2012 Flagstaff had a 3 zone system with a DVD player, bluetooth, a USB input, and SiriusXM. It's a shame what they use nowadays. Streaming from a phone chews up mobile data which can be issue for lots of people.

    The Furrion 7200 has such a small faceplate that it limits any replacement options as well.

    Even though it's a small faceplate....can you not cut the paneling, making a larger 'hole', and put whatever you want in? I'm not sure what's going on in there, but probably just a lot of wasted space.
