iRV Technology iRV34 AM/FM/CD/DVD/MP3/MP4 /USB/SD/HDMI/Digital2.1/Surround Sound/Bluetooth 3 Zones wall mount RV Radio Stereo

This review is based on my initial use and impressions and I will update the review if I find any negative aspects to this product. Like many other RV owners, mine came with a Genesis GT-2.0, which in my opinion is really a terrible product. I was never able to get the GT 2.0 to read a DVD and the video output was composite, not HDMI. So, I finally gave up on the GT-2.0 and found the iRV34 as a replacement. It is advertised as a direct replacement and that is absolutely the case. I literally took it out of the box, pulled all the wires from the old GT-2.0 and plugged them into the iRV34 and turned it on for an installation time of way less than 5 minutes. It worked immediately using the existing composite cables. I then used an HDMI cable to hook up to one of the two ports on the irV34 to the HDMI port on the television and immediately had a working unit so I discarded the composite cables. The unit has two output and two input HDMI ports on the back and an HDMI input port on the face of the unit so you can hook up players into any of them. I didn't have enough time to try everything on the unit but everything worked. Bluetooth with my phone, DVD player, and radio all worked fine but I didn't have an SD card or USB drive to try them or to have the television sound route through the iRV34 to the RV speakers. Based on what I have seen so far, I readily endorse this product. The Amazon price is about a third less than I would have paid at the RV online dealer where I found other reviews which gave me the confidence to buy this unit.

Installation was easy. No surprises and the unit works as expected. Wiring diagram on the unit and in the manual easy to follow. Navigation is a little funky, switching inputs if you have a CD or DVD in the unit results in a delay until the disk initializes, be patient (just a few seconds) it will then allow you to move to the next input... The trim strips do not allow for any "give". The cabinet in the RV is ever so slightly warped and the trim strips will not clip tight on the one side. That is not a product issue, but design could allow for a little "give". It fit the cutout exactly where the old unit was (2012 Wildwood 26' camper). On the camper, mine had a switch for the outside speakers. Since this unit has three outputs, I simply cutout the external switch and connected the outside speakers to #3. Overall, worked perfectly for my installation.

The iRV34 was a direct replacement for my Elite series radio installed in my camper. The unit looks great. For some reason, when I turn the unit off then back on, sound fails to come on. Once I unplug then reinsert the speaker harness the sound will comeback on...until you turn the unit off then back on, no sound again. I inspected the plug, but didnt see any pins or sockets loose or pulled out. I found that I had to not push the connector in all the way. I've checked it for 2 days now, and no sound issues any longer. I've secured the plug in this position. I'm glad i figured it out, as i didnt want to have to go thru the hassle of returning the radio. Also, the number 4 preset button will not save a station. All 7 of the other preset buttons work fine. The last issue is the EQ function. The owners manual makes absolutely no mention of how to set the EQ. You access it by taping on the button in the center of the volume button. Only tap it, if you push and hold it, it brings up the ability to change from USA or Europe radio frequencies. Now the good, it looks great and the sound seems to be better quality (even with the standard low quality rv speakers) than the factory unit. Instalation is a breeze...if you've ever wired up a car stereo, its all the same. Power, ground, antenna and speakers. No issues with the display, like other reviews. We'll see how it holds up.

Great RV radio had to do a little modification to my existing compartment but not a bad install much better than the old radio.

Very disappointed. Installed in RV as a replacement to upgrade sound quality. While sound improvement has been very good, unfortunately DVD player is not reading majority of DVDs that old system did play successfully. Already cleaned DVDs and tried in other devices and DVDs performed successfully in those devices. The screen occasionally shows, "This Player is incompatible with this region marking of this disc", when trying these DVDs. And this seems to be intermittent as it immediately reads and plays some DVDs that are from the same producer and manufacturer. Unfortunately if this unit is operating as designed, it is a wasted purchase, and may not be resolved by a replacement. UPDATE: After a very prompt response from QAV Division of Patrick Industries verifying the unit is defective and advising me to return it, I've completed the initial return steps and process to Amazon and will be receiving a new one. Very impressive response from both the supplier and Amazon. I've changed the stars accordingly and will update them again after receiving and successful operation of new unit. Additionally, as new as this unit is, why it's not designed to play Blu Ray, is also hard to understand. After receiving replacement unit, I'm very satisfied with it's operation and quality of video and sound in our RV. Very thankful for supplier and amazon quick resolution in the receipt and return process to obtain replacement unit. Installation was easy and operation procedures simple to use. We installed additional Blu Ray player to handle Blu Ray discs and with that running the TV sound through the iRV34 provides good quality sound during the use of that player.

Unit is only weeks old, getting ready to go camping and notice display not working correctly now. I tried factory reset per owners manual but that function did not really seem to work or do anything noticeable. I reached out to their customer support using the Amazon site but they have not responded. The Amazon support/tech group for the product said it was a third party product and offered me a 1/5 of the value future purchase credit or since it’s still within the return window, initiate a return. New product not working correctly and vendor not responding. UPDATE: The tech manager did reach out to me and basically said it was a bad unit and could not be corrected by a user factory reset. I did return it and ordered another one. Right out of the box it has too had the same display problem as shown in the pictures. The first did it a couple weeks after install, this one was immediately. I returning it also and trying it one more time. I’ve already enlarged the opening in the cabinet wall to fit this unit and feel a bit stuck now. Thankfully Amazon’s return makes it worthwhile to try and and Hopefully the third time will be a charm. I did purchase the extended warranty just in case it starts off good and goes south later on. It’s a decent product for the price and I’m really hopeful this works out to be just back to back bad luck.

So this unit does everything you want it to. But the first one I ordered sizzled and popped when I hooked up the Zone 3 speakers and a smoke/burning conduit smell came from the back of the unit immediately after. Everything else still worked but not a good sign. Very hesitantly I ordered a replacement. The new one works fine...but I am wondering for how long based on a number of other reviews that state a Zone 3 issue or complete unit failure within a few years. For the price I will see how it works but if it fails again I will not be purchasing an IRV unit ever again. I will have to settle for purchasing a more expensive car unit and custom installing it. This unit works great for now though. Love the 3 zones. Blue tooth works great. Video out works great. Playing all my dvds. Its a great unit as long as it continues to work.

It was perfect to replace the old one with. It did take an electrician friend of mine to splice all the wires together properly, but it is great 👍

Fit in sounds great

This is the second one I have purchased and again the remote control doesn't work. Have written a few times with no reply. Gonna return this one as well and purchase a cheaper model without the dvd or remote and just buy a separate dvd player. Won't look as nice. But will cost half the amount and at least I know I am getting what I am paying for. Terrible customer service and will leave feedback

Replaced an older model with newer version of the same system in our RV. Was easy to install because of compatible plug-ins.

Plug and play. Worked well.

Que le radio peux faire défaut un mois après l'installation car ils ont un problème avec la commande et la clé usb ne fonctionnait pas non plus avec le nôtre. Nous avons du payer pour le retourner après même pas un mois d'usage 🤬. Cela revient chère du radio. Pensez s'y bien avant de l'acheter
