Default 2006 t160 FF stereo/CD/DVD player replacement??

Think my OEM radio/CD/DVD player is about to quit. Some speakers work then quit, outside speakers are inop...just getting old. Want to replace with a similar size unit with am/FM, CD n DVD. Anyone done a replacement? If so give me a product name. My unit is mounted next to the bathroom about chest level. Don't need speakers, just the unit. Really the CD and DVD players are important...radio not so much.

I did this a few years ago. I swapped out the old Jensen with a new model of the same dimensions. The nice thing was the all the connectors were identical so I didn't need to do any rewiring.

There are only a few manufacturers out there and none of them stand out quality-wise from what I could tell. My recommendation would be measure what you have now and do an internet search to see if you can find one the same size from the same manufacturer. Crutchfield is a good place to start because they provide a lot of details including the dimensions.

Read another post from MT n mirrored mine. My unit's balance n volume buttons are touchie...wiggle them n volume changes or speaker balance changes. Outside speakers used to work but inop now. Tested with another speaker n still no sound. On FM I can hear lot of background noise. Rig had a seperate DVD player n now know why. When AC is running it is hard to hear movies when sitting at dinette table. Thinking about putting another speaker up front. OR use a set of wireless headphones I have. Think I will know more when I take out old unit n look at wiring. Tnx or reply.

You might consider a JVC Double DIN unit which is designed for a car/boat/RV/truck with an integral 6.2 inch touch screen/display. It has CD/DVD/AM/FM and can be expanded to Sirius XM. There are also several audio and video inputs and outputs, including a camera input. You can find them on Amazon and many electronics stores. We waited until we found one discounted at the end of the season. Other brands include Panasonic, Kenwood, etc. It was much better than the OEM unit.

My RV service had a couple of catalogs I browsed for a radio/cd/clock/bluetooth player. Read the specs in catalog for the dimensions. Nothing came close to the same size, so I went with one that was almost the same width and was shorter top to bottom. I wired it myself and mounted it in the hole. I bought a little wood piece to paint and put hinges on to make a "door" for the lower part of the hole to store phone chargers in. Sorry, the info on the unit is not here, it is in the trailer at storage.

As to the outdoor speakers, mine were crackling and the grill broken, so my rv service people went to Walmart and bought two speakers and put them in. They work great!
