I am new to motorhomes but am battling with a troublesome Bolero 630 EW at the moment - over 40 faults to date !! The dealer has not been able to solve some issues & I have been trying to resolve some issues.
I need to find the control box that, in the wiring, is between the rear view camera & the front LCD screen. Has anybody located this as I cant find it !!
Hi stonkn
If you have a look on the n/s of the dash board you will a pocket on the top of it which is held in by torque screws,remove them and the pocket and you will find the controll unit.
Hi if you can tell me the year of your van then i will be able to help you with your problem with the camera,the reason i am asking for the year is that we changed the way we fitted the system from a drop down down screen to the screen built into the sat nav.
Thanks padge
Thank you all very much for taking the time to respond. I am at my wits end with this motorhome & have been on the edge of rejecting it legally !! It has had SO Many faults that I bought it with 1000 miles on it in April & it has done only 1400 now - I have had to cancel 4 trips so far as things have gone wrong.
In detail - its one of the early 630's - Dec 06 with a flip down front LCD. I have checked under the passenger stowage box - not there. I have taken the DVD head unit out to re-wire the audio as the dealer could not get it working so its not there either. I followed the wires back but they disappear under the headlining as they go back from the A Pillar & the only cables that go down the pillar are those to the DVD feed etc. The rear camera pod fell out so I took the chance to check there as well & behind the rear panel.
I have e-mailed Swift a number of times with only one reply. Any help would be gratefully received.
With your van being made in Dec 06 it makes it an 07 model, confusing I know. On this van you should find an obserview control box hidden in the void behind the control panel located above the door, the best way to check if this is working properly is to connect the camera and monitor direct to it to rule out any cabling fault.
If you need any further advice please PM me with a contact number.
Its not there either!! So far I have taken the IP stowage box out, A pillar trim, base of the B pillar trim, the camera pod which fell out, the panel above the door (which is empty) the floor under the rear locker where the loom goes, the panel under the sink & across the back of the vehicle in the toilet - also where the loom is & traced the cables all the way to the cupboard above the fridge.
I know this cupboard well as we have gone through 3 Free view boxes etc. I have now tidied this locker wiring up & the boxes up as they were all floating around. - In there is another box. It looks like a switcher box & has audio & TV feeds on the front face - this is not the camera box I am looking for is it?. From memory it has maybe 5 in/out Audio/Video feed sockets on the face with LEDs, but I don’t recall any other cables such as the reverse trigger etc? It does not look like the box illustration on the camera instruction sheet.
high padge here again the best thing for you to do is see your dealer and if you get nowhere with them then call swift and we will try and sort your faults out.
Thanks padge
I can only sympathise with the author of this thread, he seems to be having terrible after sales service. I see there are a couple of replies from Swift, and can only recommend that the dealer is given a "kick up the axxx" by the top management of Swift, probably Peter Smith. Complaints and gripes such as this on a highly reputable site do the manufacturer no good at all, and can disuade a potential buyer.
