Is there an option available for an upgrade to add a stereo/sound system remote control, capable of adjusting speaker volume remotely from the beach, say up to 150+ feet away from where your boat might be moored. Probably would need to be some sort of RF controller. Any ideas? Thanks.

I only know of the alpine one. You need the new unit that will accept it. That's why I went with theirs. Clarion uses to have one but I think they discontinued it. -
Bluetooth will do what you want, but at 150ft, it might get a little sketchy. Your PM3 or phone becomes the source unit. Actually, I think any RF might be a stretch to work at 150ftMikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And MoreComment

Both Alpine and Clarion have RF remotes. Alpine has had one for a while, and I think Clarion started selling theirs in 2011.
The model number for the Clarion is MF1: http://www.clarion.com/us/en/product...559425523.html
Alpine's is the RUE-M1RF: http://shop.alpine-usa.com/p/rf-remo...e-applications
Both are labeled "marine" -- they float and are water resistant.
Both advertise a range of 100 feet. I've had both, and I think that's a stretch, particularly since the antenna will likely be behind fiberglass somewhere. Fifty feet is more realistic. On my current boat, I attached the antenna to the transom remote so it's closer to the beach when the boat is anchored (I anchor with the bow facing out). That helped a lot.
We spend a lot of time listening to tunes in the cove, and I consider this a must-have for the stereo (the volume fluctuations in the iPod drive me crazy, so it's nice to be able to control the volume and change songs from the beach).Comment
