I just completed a system with the clarion Cmv 1. Also nice unit, just wish it had a dedicated sub woofer output. I like the fact that is DVD compatable. Have ours hooked into 2 Garmin 7212. We only used this because alpine doesn't offer a comparable radio with video outputs

the mc10 and mc20 have the reciever needed to make the remotes work, the mc1 and mc2 are add ons after you have one with a reciever installed. the mc20/mc2 is 2 zone capable wich i think only works on 1 or 2 of the alpine head units so you can control the volume in 2 areas for people with large boats/cruisers. they dont explain this well on their site. i bought a mc1o for 100 on ebay and a mc2 for 50 on ebay new, much cheaper if you like to search for deals like me.

Hmm, checked out the Clarion stuff, may be an option. I had some Clarion pro audio stuff many years ago and liked it. How do their remotes work vs. Alpine? Last time I looked at Alpine my biggest beef was the delay in the wireless remotes, wired Clarion might be faster/better. What about sound, comparible quality? I really dont need all the options on the Cmv-1, is the sound quality of the lower level units still good?
