Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:GRMN),
today announced the RV-BBT601, an advanced OEM infotainment system
designed for recreational vehicles (RVs) featuring best-in-class
navigation from Garmin, and audio powered by FUSION Entertainment,
a Garmin brand. The first portable system of its kind, the
RV-BBT601 is an in-dash solution that can easily be removed and
used to access applications or control the entertainment from
anywhere in the RV. Jayco, a subsidiary of Thor Industries, the
sole owner of operating subsidiaries that, combined, represent one
of the world’s largest manufacturers of recreational vehicles, has
selected the RV-BBT601 for its 2018 fleet and effective
immediately, will offer the infotainment system as standard
equipment on a select line of motorized RVs.
“An all-in-one infotainment solution for open-road and camping
enthusiasts, the RV-BBT601 is loaded with RV-friendly features and
boasts a compelling industrial design that’s beneficial for both
the end-user and the installing manufacturer,” said Dan Bartel,
Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “We’re excited to
partner with Jayco to bring leading Garmin navigation technology
and FUSION entertainment expertise to their customers with an
integrated system that’s both feature-packed and easy to use.”
The RV-BBT601 features an easy-to-read 6-inch touchscreen
display with a magnetic mount so it can easily be docked for
navigation or undocked for remote use anywhere in the RV or for
remote trip planning. For added convenience, the dock features
quick-access media control buttons for easy and safe adjustment
while driving. When docked, the RV-BBT601 will initialize an
intuitive driving mode where drivers can easily access navigation,
back-up camera, music and hands-free Bluetooth calling
functionality.
No two adventures are the same so the RV-BBT601 features
customized RV routing so drivers can find the most efficient route
to their destination. Users simply enter the applicable information
and destination and a route will be determined based on the height,
weight, length and width of the vehicle. The RV-BBT601 also
includes RV-related restrictions, such as bridge heights, sharp
curves and related information for most major roads and highways.
Drivers will hear and see these helpful warnings, which can help
prepare them for upcoming descents, ascents and more. They’ll also
have access to upcoming elevation information pertaining to their
route in preparation for possible steep grades, and a comprehensive
directory of RV parks and services which can be filed based on
preferred amenities.
Doubling as both a navigator and an entertainment source, the
RV-BBT601 will control the entertainment system for the RV with a
four-zone AM/FM/Bluetooth/USB system. When undocked, it also
becomes a powerful wireless remote for the entertainment system.
And thanks to its wireless connectivity, it can also be used for
web browsing, email and other internet-connected applications.
Connect any compatible Bluetooth smartphone or media device with
the RV-BBT601 for endless streaming of music and entertainment
services with superior sound quality. Thanks to multi-zone
technology, independent control of audio in different areas of the
RV is possible, allowing for a customized listening experience to
suit any occasion.
The RV-BBT601 infotainment system is available now on select
Jayco models, including Greyhawk®, Greyhawk Prestige, Melbourne®,
Seneca®, Alante® and Precept®. To learn more about this system,
