marine head units w/ iPod and Sirius?

[wetsounds1]

yllw20, I think you are refering to this one from Fusion Electronics out of New Zealand http://www.fusionelectronics.com/en/...6-product.aspx

I have seen it. Cool concept but the UI is still lacking. And still no color like the Alpine.

The MB Quart deal is just a dock for the ipod, instead of having it laying around.

I am using the factory clarion with the HK I Drive and love the Idrive. Have not found a head unit that is as fast as the idrive and offers the ease of use.

I was going to try out the Alpine Marine head units and remotes but they were not shipping yet. Next boat will give that a try and see.

They probably won't be out till about march or so, Alpine takes so long to get their new stuff out.

The new Clarion EA1276B Ipod interface for the CMD5 and M475 is worlds better then the old version, but the 1276B Interface and the CCA-Ipod cable are not the same thing. These 2 headunits will take up to 3 wired remotes.

Does the CMD5 have a USB interface for the iPod?

[ragboy]

No, they are CeNET.

[Duncan]

At the risk of flogging a dead horse, are both the 1276B Interface and the CCA-Ipod cable a CeNET connection? What is the difference between these two CMD5 interfaces?

Thanks!

The CCA_Ipod is typiclly found under the Mobil Audio section for cars/trucks and the EA1276B is more for the Marine side.

As far as funtion, I have not used the CCA so I dont know all of what it will do.

CCA-IPOD is way better. A little hard to get the hang of but it works in real time from the head unit without the need for any special playlists plus it is cheaper.

I believe you are thinking of the previous model, the EA1276B states it supports Ipod menu. Cant argue with cheaper, but since I cant give a side-by-side comp, the price may be a mute point

I guess what gets me confused is Clarion's crap website.
