Not too sure however I do have my origional keenwood transom remote in a box in the garage if you decide that's the problem you can have it

For ipod interface/headunit compatibility, check this site;

Nope -- that's why we use our iPods ..

If you want to have a PA, look for threads here for the WS-420 -- it's also an equalizer
that allows you to control in-boat, tower and sub volume -- it's got a PA (over the tower speakers)
and you can plug your ipod directly into it.

But then you lose the transom controls.

Lol. But for real, buy a deck with either an. Aux in jack or one thats ipod compatible and use that instead of cds. No skip, ever.

As far as a pa system, look inti the wetsounds 420. Its everything you dream of!

Then you lose your transom controls.
Yes on the 420. It's beautiful.

Be sure that you get one that is remote capable. I love the remote on the transom.

Yep, and you can control the iPod from there.

I removed my head unit completly. Ipod into EQ.

Can't control it from the transom though

thank yall for makin me look like an idiot lol..i bet im the youngest on here and still that slipped my mind (ipod) i guess ill have to get a new head unit..the kenwood doesnt have a aux plug :-*(


i love the remote on transom as well....mine came with a factory kenwood head unit..i think and the transom remote..but i cant get the remote to come on...Dang Boats! any suggestions? fuse?

There's a DIN cable from the head unit to the remote. I just pulled a MR300 out of a 39' Fountain Express Cruiser and replaced it with a new one because the wired remotes didn't work. I'm gonna say you have a problem with the head unit. The radio won't put out enough voltage to power both of them, and with a single remote, won't power it up enough for the display to work. Replace the radio and problem solved.

Look into the Kenwood ipod interface adaptor if you are wanting to keep your factory unit. It will add the ability to charge, control, and listen to an ipod.

And control it from the transom and helm! WOW!

They all have a point, Ipod is nice... I have an Alpine marine deck that's suspose to be unable to skip... (cd is so much better quality than an IPOD)
I hooked mine up with Sirius radio, I figure the DJs get paid to play good music, I let them...

Alpine is second to none. Sound quality is much better from Clarion to Alpine, controls are better, it's just an all-around better head unit.

Shouldn't be, but you could try.

Matt,
let me do some snoopin around on the boat..ill let you know if i can fix it. if not we'll work a deal out on your remote your not using.

and ya i def. need that ipod hook up for the kenwood.

these dang boats get more expensive by the minute! i swear its like you just find things that you "think you need" for them..and next thing you know you just gotta have em! haha

[kodybyron]

Jonyb...dang you sure have alot of time on your hands. you crack me up man!
but im sure glad people like you are on here..yall have saved me $$$ in quick fixes and ive only owned the boat 2 weeks!

now if i could just keep away from yalls Mod threads i might save a lil money!

I wish I could say a new remote would fix it, but in the boat that I just worked on, it was the radio. I think you can find those Kenwoods for around $125 on Google, if you want to look.

I agree on the getting more expensive. I've only been on ours 4 weekends and spending way more dolla's in the off time than I am on it.

Got rear sacks as one was leaking at the fitting last year. Attempted to repair it and it leaked Easter Weekend. Good thing I ordered 2 as they are bigger than the bags that were in there previously...Sorry hun.

Love the cupholder LED's, but ours are plastic and can't spend $ on the stainless ones at 15 a pop.
Hopefully a next spring project.
