Review on πŸ”’ Enhanced Kenwood KCA-RC55MR Wired Marine Boat Remote for KMR-700U, KMR-550U, and KMR-700U by Jason Ortiz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Avoid like the plague

I got this unit with a new boot, has worked great for months, now the volume is patchy, press once and it goes from 1 to 15 or moves the volume doesn't seem at all either the basic radio not being marine quality, the first radio lasted a season and was then blocked as it sat all winter (in covered storage). it lasted 2 months and also suffocated! Bluetooth is a nightmare, yes it connects to more than one phone at the same time, but you'll be amazed what happens when you can't tell which phone it's connected to and can't cycle through them , so you can't joke around for 10 minutes to get music to play and ask everyone to turn off bluetooth except the one you want even if you're listening to music on your phone and your wife has a call or a receives a voice message on their phone. She can switch to her phone and turn off the music, or just accidentally switch to her phone with nothing playing. You can't cycle through it, so you'll have to turn everything off, reconnect, and maybe you'll get the music back!

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • I'll be silent

Clear to read and easy to use but slow to respond when buttons are pushed.

Is it really "marine rated"?
