TV

no

for the most part.

my first otr truck was a 00 t2000 and it had a coaxial hookup with a little antannea on the outside. but if i remember right. it was something a previous driver installed.

 

I've driven volvos and cascadias and the 2012 and up at least have a multi-plex setup with tv/radio/cb all routed through the stock antenna system with the tv coax preinstalled in the sleeper. Just hook it up to the tv. Don't know about older models.

 

celery there are plenty of aftermarket ones but the trucks I had were prewired like flyingm said. I bought that little RCA white flat one at Walmart and placed it on the wall behind the TV. It's amplified and needs an inverter but it picks up like a dream. I've picked up channels 60 miles away. Cities like Dallas, Chicago and LA it's like cable with 40+ channels.

 

so condo does the amplifier help that much and worth the cost? thought about getting one but just haven't yet. I had the little flat one as well still have it in the truck been thinking about starting to use it again since the in-roof system on the '14 cascadias really sucks. the side mount antennas on the previous versions had much better reception.

 

It worked great plugged in. Unplugged it wasn't worth a hoot.

It's this one. I'm sure they have better models.

After looking at it closer that's not the right one. Mine was just like it but it had the amplifier. Maybe I bought an aftermarket amplifier. Alzheimer is setting in.

 

I got a 06 Columbia and it uses the CB antennas for the tv and radio. If you put aftermarket wireing for your CB the radio and tv wont work. Ofcourse you can add new antennas for both. All the trucks I've seen have a built in TV antenna some ware, but its normally junk and buying an aftermarket will be much better. The amps do really help though.

 

in 06. they were good stuff. signal was analog back then.



trying to get a good digital signal can be a pain sometimes. specially when a 53 ft. SLOWLY creeps along.

 

does that thing work good when trucks are rolling all around? i almost bought that dude last night.
