Is Replacement Remote Available for iRV Stereo 6500BT

Published 08/17/2023

Question:

I have a 2016 Keystone Bullet Ultra Lite camper that has an iRV 6500BT cd/dvd player. The remote that came with it broke and I need a functioning replacement. I have bought 2 off of Amazon that do not work. I need an actual functioning remote. I contacted iRV and was told that the 6500BT has been canceled and no replacement parts are available. I was told, however, that the remote needs to say iRV on it. Can you help me with a replacement? Fun fact....the other two remotes do nothing but make the power light on the TV blink on and off, and I have no idea what that means. Please Help.

Yeah, we don't have any replacement remotes for an iRV stereo and since they don't make any replacement parts it sounds like you'll either be limited to using the using the stereo the old fashioned way (by physically pushing the buttons on the interface) or you need to replace your stereo.

If you choose to replace your stereo then I recommend the Furrion RV Stereo w/ DVD Player # DV1230BL which matches the functions of your current stereo but it's a little smaller so you'll need to fill in any extra space with some trim.

In my experience when a remote makes a light blink it's because it uses the same frequency (I believe that's what the correct term is) but it can't be paired to work with the device, which is why you're seeing the power light flicker but nothing is working.
