Dash Radio in a 2008 Holiday Rambler Endeavor

I am trying to replace the dash radio with another radio so I can have navigation and bluetooth. My dash has seperate radio switch that turns on and off the radio.
Has anyone replaced the radio and any advice as to how to hook up a new radio with or without using the dash switch would be helpful and apppreciated. Thank you

When you install the new radio, typically the red wire is for ignition power, so the radio turns on when you start the coach. There is also a yellow wire (always has power) that supplies constant power to the radio to keep the memory powered.

On your coach, instead of powering the radio with the ignition switch, they use the dash switch you have to power the radio. This gives you the ability to turn the radio on, while camping, without having to turn the key to accessory. Just use the red wire or main power wire and connect it to the dash switch. Radio wire color codes are pretty standard, so it should wire straight across from the old to the new.
