Troubleshooting Signal Issues With A Furrion Vision S RV Camera System And 2016 Chevy Tahoe
Question:
We are in a 2016 Tahoe, we have the Furrion Vision S and it was working last night with our Tacoma but now won’t pair while in the Tahow. We checked every troubleshoot on the list. What else can we do to troubleshoot?

If you're having pairing issues with the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # FOS43TASF then you most likely aren't receiving enough power at the camera from the Tahoe's 7-way connection. There are two solutions to this issue:
Option 1: By using the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter w/ Power Switch for Furrion RV Observation Camera # FR87PR. This adapter will send a steady current to the camera allowing you to receive a signal to your monitor. The male end will plug into the 7-way on your 2016 Chevy Tahoe and you'll plug your trailer into the female end of this adapter.
Option 2: By using the 12V PWM Filter for RV Backup Camera Systems # VGR64VR. This is a permanent fix that will just splice in-line right behind the camera and send a steady current to the camera to fixed the signal issues.
Of the two choices I personally recommend the # VGR64VR just because it's so easy to do and when it's done you don't have to do anything else. The # FR87PR would be one additional thing you'd have to do every time you want to tow your trailer.
I've attached some videos below where I'll walk you through each installation.
