Just came back inside from the rain after experimenting with jControl and Bluetooth control of the Jensen JMW6A A/V system.  "Pairing" my 'phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) with the Jensen took me more than a few minutes but I'm pleased with the system.  Was able to execute commands from 25 feet behind the 'Pod no problem.  My grumbles over not having the wired remote just reversed to delight at not having to get up from the fireside chair to control the volume.Thumbs Up

Didn't know about that JControl app.  Just downloaded it, now I'm all excited to try it out on our next outing.

THANKS!!

We also have a PahaQue visor which has a 14mm top edge and fits perfectly.  I can measure the rDome at 9mm.  If I try to finesse the track too much the visor may hang up.  Forest River and my local dealer both suggested closing up the track a bit to avoid pull-out.  A slight bend only on the track lip might do the trick.  May try that on the first 6" or so.  I did follow advice on the forum to file smooth the ends of the track and used an old wax candle to lube the track.  Hanging a wet Dome from the deck railing iin the sun & breeze works after it stops raining.   It's pale green & white, current style.  Gotta take some pix.

I suspect you do not have a 9mm dome. The few people who had this happen, the dome falls out of the track completely. Some 14mm keder rails have needed to be closed just a bit with a pair of tape wrapped vice grips. It's a manufacturing tolerance issue.

What color is your dome? Do you happen to have a picture of it setup? It does have a model number, on a tag, sewn inside.

Yes, the rain soaked (or even dew dampened) R-dome is a joy to deal with.  That's why it almost always rides home in the bed of the pick-up.  We have the huge advantage of parking the 'Pod inside a big steel building with a big blacktop drive.  As soon as the sun is high enough to heat the blacktop, the R-dome gets spread out and dries almost instantly.  Sweep it off, fold it up and stuff it in the sack.]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2015 06:24:45 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7066&PID=66819#66819 Missing Hardware : On the keder track size thing:... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7066&PID=66814#66814 Author: TJsGPa

Ouch I finally downloaded the full manual for the Jensen JMW6A that's installed in my June 2015 built 182G HRE.  They changed units during the build cycle to a cheaper radio that does not have a wired remote option.  A few 182Gs still on dealer lots have the wired remote.  Also downloaded jControl, a cell phone app that's supposed to let me run the JMW6A wall-mount unit using Bluetooth.  We'll see.

The company no longer makes the model that used the remote. Most owners couldn't reach it anyways. If you look through the brochure or website you will find a disclaimer about features and specifications being subject to change without notice.

The keder thing is interesting.. they stopped making the 9mm dome about 4 years ago.. supposedly none left in the world new..

 Been searching for the "keypad" remote for the inside radio/DVD player.  It is shown just left of the light switch in the garage of G models.  Our 2016 182G has no such device.  Took delivery in July but only just realized we're missing something.  Have not needed the feature yet but was comparing our "as built" configuration to brochure.  Dealer pix of G models all show it.  Anyone else missing the little device or are we the lone unlucky ones?  Also dealing with the  9mm rDome and 14mm keder track fun.  Yucks.]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2015 20:02:50 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7066&PID=66807#66807
