Fellow people, I own a 23 AR250 and taking this thing out in Florida is great, until I have to read the screen… I flat out can’t see it. What options do I have to upgrade to a bigger monitor? I can’t find anything on YouTube or internet

I’m going to add a stereo to mine so that will not be displayed on the connect screen. Other than that i dont know what you could do

I believe what you have is all that is available for the AR250.

252S or above.

Not trying to be a smart ass but I don’t believe there are any other options. Perhaps you could purchase a 12.3 OEM cluster from the 252 series and swap it in. It may be that easy but most likely it’s not and could require different wiring harnesses since that system has lot more built in controls then the base 7” AR250 unit.

My 23’ AR220 has the little shitty 5” screen but with the brightness turned all the way up during the day time I can usually see it well enough. It’s not amazing but at the price point it’s what I have to settle for.

Not high tech by any definition but these used to work for me when I flew drones/quadcopters whose images were displayed on an iPad mounted to the remote control. IMG_4496.png

You can check my build thread "Nice Aft", I build something to house the 12.3 and a Garmin 9" screen. I am working to get this available for sale, but it still is going to be some time.
