Questions & Answers

How does the NMEA 2000 connect to my Garmin MT? What cable do I need to use? Is it possible to get a cable from you if not, and what kind do you have?

It does not come with the cable. An extra T connector, a Garmin NMEA2000 starter kit, and a Garmin NMEA2000 starter kit are necessary. If you have any questions, feel free to call us.

Is this radio powerful enough to power four speakers of 150 watts each, or does an amplifier have to be used?

There are 4 speakers that can handle 50 watts each

In the picture I notice the non nmea 2000 version (msra70) is this the one with the n on the end these days since the picture does ?

The first one I bought last week (10/9/2016) was faulty when I received it two days later A copy of RA70 has been mailed. It is not a good thing for me, since I will mostly operate mine with a NMEA 2000 display. Tomorrow I will get a replacement, so we will see how it goes. In addition, a second one for my other boat was ordered yesterday it will also be configured through NMEA 2000 and a In the event that they keep sending me Non-Network versions, I will be quite upset.

Is it possible to use the Ipod classic 7 th generation with this product? The following (ms- What is Ra70n)?

If t has a 3, then it is a I would say yes, if it has a 5mm jack

Excellent unit, but doesn't cover single din and the volume control does not work natively on the Apple device
4/5

I purchased a MS-DOS computer From JB tools, I purchased an RA70N via Prime for $289 + tax and received an MS-76N in return It took 3 days for RA70 to kick in. Because NMEA2000 is a must for me, I returned it. The same unit was purchased from ShipSound for $269 (no tax, not Prime, showed arrival in like ten days), it came with In only two days, the RA70NX will be available! I love how well the unit works. It is kind of a bummer that Fusion fixed the problem with the screen going blank. Three out of three From my previous 2 MS-level positions, I have each served for four years There was no screen on the IP600 before it went black. I don't think I would ever use the Sirius/XM add, so NX was not really needed. It is a great thing to have an NMEA. The Lowrance HDS7 Gen3 has been connected to it in the photos below. I love using the touchscreen in my navigation unit to control it. just fine on my phone, but not on the Apple Watch. However, use this at your own risk When using the native Bluetooth control of an iPhone or Watch directly with the unit, you won't be able to As it was, I just left the Fusion BT on You are good to go! 100 per cent on the aux input! Turn the volume up or down on the watch and on the iPhone. There is a slight chance of losing a star there. There's something to be warned about Approximately half the size of the MS-90 Replaced IP600 with a new one. So I needed a mounting plate to hide a few ugly areas, so I needed to hide a few ugly areas. In addition to the Despite the small size of the 200MP mounting plate, it can not be used. Please see my review of the book. The mounting plate is made of white non-stretch plastic that I 3D printed myself There is a yellow color to the Take a look at the Excellent! Fusion should be able to Because it does not cover where I had previously removed my previous single din Fusion, I gave it a three star rating. The NMEA control is an added bonus, as well as the NMEA inputs and outputs! So, please don't get me wrong - I absolutely ADORE this unit!.

I really like them
5/5

A Bluetooth connection takes less than a minute once it has been A total of three RAs have been assigned to me Three hundred and seventy I like the units a lot. My S9 phone connects almost immediately to them once they have been programmed. As well, I like the fact that there is only a single power wire required for the unit, which can be connected to the boat's switch. You can completely power down this device (turning off the power switch eliminates 100% of power to it if hooking it up this way) and it will still retain all settings the next time you turn it on. As soon as you turn it on, it powers up immediately. As an FYI, I use the switch method because I forget to turn things off too frequently. In that case, I just make sure my lighted switches are on at the end of (On my Android Samsung S9), the app works great as well. It's great that Fusion/Garmin has a great product.

I like it, but it could use some updating
3/5

The new Pioneer CD receiver was purchased to replace an old Pioneer CD receiver that was installed in a 25' offshore boat with JBL 6x9 Marine speakers, which I highly recommend. In the middle of my console, it was mounted. My only reason for replacing was that I had to go into the center console in order to change the volume, stations, etc.
I would rate it 5 stars, but it is flawed in these ways. Spotify and Pandora have yet to be tried since the unit was just installed yesterday. There is one thing to be thankful for In terms of weather and salt water conditions, the KA70N appears to be built for extreme The warranty is only for one year, so we'll see how it holds up. I've been using the Fusion Link app as a Bluetooth remote for a while, and I really like it. The sound is good, not great, and the media-only design took a long time to complete. Cds are no longer played around the rough open water, especially on the open seas. The receiver can be placed in a standard cut-out I wish it were wider, but it is not that wide. An easy installation and control system. The cons are as follows What is the reason for not having power on and off for the Fusion Link app? What is the purpose of the old-style LED screen still being black and white? It is far superior to the sound quality of this Fusion compared to my Pioneer. It is rated at 200 watts, which is too much. My next purchase will be a marine amp, which will add another $350 to my budget. Three hundred and nineteen dollars. I feel that the price of a "media only" head unit (without a CD or DVD player) is too high. In the price range he's asking for, it should come with at least the antenna cable and all the cables necessary. There is nothing bad to say about this If the above issues were addressed, the site could be a great site. The only thing to keep in mind is that you will need an external amplifier when using this unit.

For the price it is a great product
4/5

I like the sleek and functional design. My only concern is the lack of outputs on the wiring harness provided for my needs. I have a setup for my amp. Additionally, I couldn't see where they sell another wiring harness to extend its capabilities, despite the fact that there's a receptacle for an additional harness just like what's included. Since I'm talking about a fairly large system, I need to take up more space However, the two zones are not functioning properly There is nothing wrong with the zone system. It is an excellent value for the price. The buttons and knob have a pleasant feel, and the knob rolls with a satisfying click. There is a premium feel to it.

The technology is great and the phone integration is great A bit more pep could be added to the amp
4/5

During installation and setup, A very easy process was involved in getting my boat into the water. The controls are extremely easy to use. One minor issue I had is that I did not first select "BT" as the source before pressing the menu button when setting up the "Discoverable" mode for Bluetooth. The software worked flawlessly with my Samsung Galaxy S5. The software offers all the options needed (source, volume, tone, etc. ) and even managed to stream music with no problems. It seems that the amplifier power seems somewhat limited, but perhaps that is simply a matter of perspective. As I mentioned before, I'm driving a set of Polk MM651UM speakers that are mounted in the gunwales, and thus the volume level is quite low. It appears I should purchase an external amplifier.

This stereo head offers excellent sound at an affordable price
5/5

In addition to being a great stereo unit, it comes at an extremely reasonable price. The installation was extremely straightforward and it is eco-friendly when installed correctly. If you are looking for a simple and easy-to-use stereo option for your boat, this head unit is definitely worth a look.

I really enjoy this radio station
5/5

A very well made radio with a great sound. The radio is well made, easy to use, and very well constructed. The installation took a bit longer than expected. A harness plug would have made it easier to install. Highly recommend using this to pair with a new GPS, it works great.

Stereo system that isn't the best but isn't bad either
3/5

But not as good as a great stereo system. An unfamiliar bluetooth phone can be a pain to pair because of the menu, and it isn't intuitive. My friends rarely make it out of the process of visiting my boat. It was faster to use a hard-wired usb port rather than the whole messy USB cable.
