Volume control has stopped working

I have this device in my boat and the volume control has stopped working. I contacted the manufacturer and no help with the issue. The block needs to be replaced. Only used a few hours. Very disappointed

Pros
  • Bluetooth (A2DP audio streaming; AVRCP remote control)
Cons
  • For old

Salt water will destroy handle

Be careful - if you plan to use this in salt water the handle will rust and break. I used a salt treatment after every walk, but the handle was still rusty, rendering it unusable. Note: I did not purchase this unit, it was rear mounted on my 240cc Yamaha SX240.

Pros
  • iPod/iPhone Ready (via USB)
Cons
  • I won't tell

You will need additional parts

I bought a radio with speakers from Polk Audio but remember you will need to purchase speaker wire. Neither the radio nor the speakers come with cables. It's also XM-ready, so you'll need to purchase the XM module separately. Looks cool and installation was pretty easy. The sound is good and very clear.

Pros
  • AM/FM electronic tuner (US/Euro selectable)
Cons
  • Annoying

Excellent customer service

The product worked like clockwork. Got this on my new boat and it sounds AMAZING. At one point I couldn't get BT reception from the device, so I called tech support. It was an English speaking representative who walked me through a few steps and eventually got it working. Very professional and very helpful. So far it's 5 stars for me. If anything happens I will come back and update this post.

Pros
  • Removable front mount chrome trim ring.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
