Side Camera Color Issues
All images appearing from both of my side cameras is purple so you can't really tell what you're seeing. Entegra said it was the monitor (which didn't make sense because my rear camera works fine; the colors are accurate). They changed the monitor; didn't fix the problem. Then they said it was a switch behind the monitor and changed it; didn't fix the problem. The only thing they've not changed are the side cameras themselves. Has anyone else had this issue? and, how was it resolved?

Yes, mine also has a purple hue to all images. It is difficult to distinguish what you are seeing.

X3 here. The trees in my side cameras appear purple. I mentioned this to Ted Cook in Charlotte last week and he thought it might be one of the colour inputs not hooked up or not working, ie. the blue input. Another item for the PDI.

One of the items on our punch list here at Middlebury this week. I didn't call it purple so much as being dark and thus difficult to see when you put the turn signal on. Otherwise it seems OK. I let folks know what happens here to "fix" it.

Same Issue
I have the same issue, I was looking online today to find replacements, has anyone started to search yet? I found a Voyager VCMS50 r or l, but they are around $259 a piece. If it gives me a better picture, then it is probably worth it. I noticed on this last trip at night, I couldn't see anything but bright white at night and during the day, the color was awful, purple etc... with no real clarity, the rear camera is great, and has none of those issues.

I have the same problem with the side cameras. I have an appointment at the factory in December and this is on my list. I'll post when I get a resolution on the problem.

Mine are just OK but I think they are more sizzle than steak. The dealer proudly shows off the side cameras as a safety issue but in practice, I don't find them useful. When you are moving to a lane to the left, it seems silly to look to the right to see what is going on at the left. The two side mirrors and a quick head check work better. IMO, moving to the right works the same way with the mirrors instead of the camera. My biggest gripe is the NAV is unusable when the 4 way flashers are deployed. I haven't been able to move the side camera output to the rear camera monitor so the radio/NAV is unavailable when a turn signal or flashers are turned on.

Ditto on mine...dark and not much use unless the sun is shining on that side of the MH. If there was a dark car next to me, I would never see it in the camera. Look forward to hear what you find out.

Double ditto on mine. I find them dark and the color is poor. To be honest, between the back camera and side mirrors, I have a pretty good view of what's going on around me. In heavy traffic, I could miss something. I barely look at the side camera images because I don't trust them.
I thought the problem was me, since I have to put the lights on while travelling to get my Invisibrake to charge my tow car (which needs a charge line). When the lights are on, the camera monitors adjust and are a bit less visible by day. I'm still playing with settings before I get it where I want it. But now I learn that others have a poor side camera image, so I will put it on my list...
Regarding the side cameras replacing the NAV screen, I put the NAV on the 32 inch TV and can take a quick glance if I have to. Otherwise, my wife directs.

Quick question since we are on the subject. I had to replace my radio and in re-setting everything up....I forgot if the turn signal cameras wipes out the GPS, top screen, or the backup camera, bottom screen. If someone could refresh my memory, it would be greatly appreciated.

On ours, when the turn signal is on, the top (gps/radio) screen switches to the rear view camera and the bottom (normally rear camera) becomes the side view camera. There are settings in one of the setup menus where some customization can be done.

Thanks Jerry, I thought that was the way mine use to be and I didn't think I had it setup correctly. I will work on that tomorrow or call Mike O'Connell in CS.
