In your guys honest opinion.... I'm balling on a budget and want a new head unit with aux input and a wired remote for the swim deck area. Currently have a supra 02 ssv launch and it has a kenwood head unit but the remote on rear doesn't work.

What are some good choices that will not break the bank?

Thanks
Andy

I think you're limited to sony/alpine/clarion for transom remotes. Check out www.crutchfield.com and see what you like and then search eBay and sonicelectronix.com for prices....

A replacement remote. Does your current head unit not have aux input?

You can also go with Pioneer. I have a car head unit with a marine transom remote :

I'd also just replace the transom remote. You can plug an auxillary cord into the "cd changer/sirius" radio port on the back. The cord costs about 12 bucks and works great.

Ill look into this but my aux port on the face of the radio doesn't work. So there is no way to plug in iPod now. Looking like a new head unit and remote are to come.
