I see alot of people spending lots of money on big stereo up-grade. I spent $139 ( J&R music nyc.) on a Clarion M475 to replace my 1998 M5170 Cassete player stereo. Keeping the Helm remote and the original speakers. I am still using the old APA2030 30 watt 2 channel amp for the front two speakers and the built in 50watt 4 channel.for the other 4 speakers in the cockpit.
The speaker sound 100% better.
I now have a front AUX input ( mini jack plus new cable) for my new TV /DVD it also sounds great (The Sharp TV had poor volume )
Now the new unit has the updated CE-bus so My old 6 CD changer will not work with out spending $99 on a converter but instead I can just add the I-pod converter and copy my songs onto my I-pod and forget the CDs. Possible CE additons with extera cost ( Approx $30 -$50 each I can add Sirus radio - Blue tooth Phone ( Listen to caller over the stereo)
RE: The installation: Pretty easy. The Main Wire plug was not the same but all the colors are! so I just Butt spliced the Old wires to the New wires following the colors and thats it took 2 hours. The remote fits and works fine.
See ya. Last up-date before splash.:thumbsup:
