Backup monitor problem

[daryl989mich]

I have a Panasonic radio/CD/monitor that recesses into the dash.....push the open button and it is suppose to come up and out.....the model number is CQ-VA707WEUC......it worked before I took the power away when changing the chassis battery.....It probably needs to be reset....but I don't have a remote......can anyone help me get this working again....??

Hi
Do you have the manual? Here is a download for it if not.
http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPER...QVA707WEUC.PDF It may have the answer. You can also get a remote from them or on ebay I am sure. You want one anyway so you can work it from the table. They aren't cheap but it might be worth it.

I have the same unit, and after a shop visit mine will no longer "pop out". The radio still works. When I push the open button, I get the beeps indicating it is about to open, but nothing happens. I guess I need to figure out how to pull it out and hit that reset button in the back?

I am not sure what they mean by the display unit and the control unit......in the manual one would believe they are two separate pieces...but I don't seem to find the control unit which has the reset button on the rear.....Can you find a second unit under your dash or anywhere? The display unit is the monitor/cd/monitor that pops out......thanks for your reply Richard.....

Another wild idea! or two

Make a call to Kevin Waite or Bob Vinson. Both were CC techs before CC went belly up. They know a lot about the systems installed on the coaches.

The next thing I would do is try and fine the last owner and see if he remembers the code

I just bought a remote for our Kenwood dash unit off eBay, cost me about $24.00. Seems ours got lost between the original owner and our purchasing it. Got it today and just barely had time to verify it works.

I found the user manual here
CQ-VA707WEUC - PanasonicB2C
and it shows the reset button on the back.P67. I assume you have to pull it out.

I'm tired of my Pioneer back up camera system working when it wants to, does anybody recommend a replacement model?

[RJPerry]

Found a place nearby that has a (new) Pioneer system with all the bells I had with a few more whistles. Should be around $600

[RJPerry]

Well, turns out the newer Pioneer unit isn't compatible with my older camera, so $600 quickly turned into $1200 and would take all day to run a new cable from the dash to the new camera!! I asked if a tech could look at my old Pioneer and see if he could get the camera to work. He pushed this and that and bingo, camera started to work! A programming issue that may have happened when I replaced my coach batteries. He charged me $45 and now I'm wondering how I'm going to spend the $555 I saved today :-)
