My remote has never worked on my 2019 GDR BHS311. I read somewhere that and individual had the same issue and discovered that the antenna was plugged into the IR Remote. I pulled the DV3300 out and noticed nothing is plugged into the antenna receptacal and something was plugged into the IR Remote. How do I tell whether or not this is for the IR Remote. Where does the IR Remote connection lead to?

There's a remote control sensor on the front of the DV3300, so why the jack on the back? The manual doesn't address what it does (or how/when to connect it).
I found on Crutchfield's website this bit of info: IR Remote: The included remote control provides full wireless operation of the Furrion DV3300S-BL receiver. Supported control functions include Power, Source, Volume, Playback, EQ, and more. The unit features an IR remote jack to add an external IR repeater (sold separately) in case the DV3300S-BL is installed in a location where the front-panel IR eye is not visible to the included IR remote control. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-hDZgwj...V3300S-BL.html
So I *think* there shouldn't be anything plugged into the rear IR Remote Jack unless you've purchased the repeater.
I dug through my files and found a pic I'd taken when I had my DV3300 out. Sure enough, there nothing plugged into that IR remote jack.
None of this helps with the problem--the remote doesn't work. Mine hasn't, either, and the DV3300 is so awful I just haven't bothered to figure out why. The DV3300 will be replaced at some point in the future. (It's one more item on my project list.)
Hope some of this helps.
