(More customer reviews)This thing ROCKS. It is so well thought out. It has everything I want in a marine stereo.
I installed it a month ago and I am really hoping it holds up. I've gone through lots of boat stereos over the years but this looks like the last one I will ever buy.
This unit does not have CD player in it which is a HUGE plus as far as I am concerned. CD players only last a season or two down here on the Texas Gulf coast. I wanted a stereo that had simple way to connect my iTouch/iPhone to the stereo. The Fusion IP600G makes it so easy. Flip down the gasketed face plate, push in the pod, flip up face plate and crank it. The pod is sealed in tight. No cables, no adaptors and no iPod sliding around on the deck.
I also ordered the IP56 Remote Control. Even though the stereo is supposed to be very weather resistant, I mounted it in the console to keep it out of the weather. I mounted the remote control on the dash. Mounting the remote requires drilling a big 3" hole in the dash but there was room. I drilled out a smaller 1 1/4" hole where an old remote use to be. Turned out to be a very neat installation.
The controls are big, easy to see, easy to use and very intuitive on both pieces. I really like the volumne knobs. You don't have to look at it to do someting as simple as changing the volume. Both units have a mute button which has always been one of my requirements. Being able to kill the stereo quickly is very useful when things go ballistic on board. The remote has a screen and shows song names and other important info as does the stereo unit.
It has a ton more capabilities than I will ever use. Got them both at a great price on Amazon I highly recommend it!
