What Replacement RV Stereo Displays a Clock When the Unit is Not in Use?
Published 05/24/2022
Question:
I need to replace the media player in my Escape trailer. It looks like the Drive RV Stereos - 324-000148 unit will fit. Will it display the time when not in use? If not can you recommend another unit like this that will show the time? Thanks.

While we do have an option that displays a clock when not in use, I confirmed with my tech at Way Interglobal (the manufacturers of Drive stereos) that the now discontinued Drive RV Stereo 324-000148 does not display the time when the unit is not in use.
As a great alternative that does display time, I confirmed with my tech at Jensen that the Jensen RV Stereo - Single DIN - AUX/USB, Bluetooth, jControl # JWM70A has this function you are looking for. Like the Drive model, the Jensen model has Bluetooth compatibility and comes with a wireless remote. It is important to note that while the cutout requirements are similar to the # 324-000148, they are not the same. The # JWM70A requires a cutout that is at least 7-1/2" wide x 2-3/4" tall x 6-1/4" deep.
If you need a stereo with a different cutout, feel free to respond to this answer with the cutout you have, and I will be happy to assist you further.
