Jayco chooses premium RV OEM infotainment system powered by Garmin® Navigation and FUSION® Entertainment for its 2018 fleet
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, visit www.jayco.com/garmin.
