For years I have had this, almost obsession, that I had to have audio system remotes for my boats. I see many others asking questions about remotes often here. “Will this head unit work with my remotes”, is often asked. It with the evolution of Bluetooth do remotes even have a function on todays boats?
My case in point, my new fusion works great all over my boat and even on the dock, my only music source will be one of our phones or pads, running the Fusion app is no big deal and I have controls that no remote can do on my phone.
Then add to it the option, if one wants, to have the head unit connected to the display units at the helm and I see no need to have remotes any longer. Do you? What exactly does the remote do for you that you cannot live without?
I feel liberated to be free the shackles of the remotes and love the freedom of a full Bluetooth system…
