My head unit will only play in tuner mode. It will not change to cd/aux mode.
I’ve reset it and unplugged everything connnected.
Has anyone had this problem?
I would appreciate replacement suggestions if it comes to that.
Has anyone found a head unit these remotes will work with?
Thank you!

Usually they just stop working.

I do not know the year of your boat, but if you replaced it with another modern Kenwood head unit, you will probably have to replace the remotes.

Thanks for the response. Based on my research, I think you are correct. I was hoping someone had something that would work with the remotes. I don't mind replacing them but I hate to mess up the looks of my boat.

If you go the new remote route, you can remove the remote in the Perfect Pass section of the helm. I've seen new Kenwood and Fusion remotes mounted there.

On the transom, it's easy to replace that remote. Depending on your hull color, you can buff it out and not be able to tell the remote was replaced.

Thanks for the information. I'm going to try one more time to get it working. If not I will be buying a new Kenwood or Fusion soon. Its not any fun without music on the water.
Which Fusion unit do you recommend?
