CD deck placement
 

Does anyone have their deck placed within arms reach of the driver? I like to play DJ,Dont want the added complexity and expense of a remote CD pack, besides, 6 CDs arnt near enough, I was thinking about getting that accesory gauge panel that goes above the dash where people mount their boost gauges and mounting it in there, anyone ever done that? Doug

Doug,

I am currently, redoing my stereo. I found the Sony marine remote to be the best looking and functional. I can post pics of mine by say wednesday to show you what I have done.

WILL ;)

You can get the wired remote and have that attached to your dash. By the time you get the extra gauge wedge and mount it, you might as well get the remote.
I have the factory Clarion and have found the wireless remote to be a pain in the ass. It never seems to be within reach when I want to change the stereo. I want to get the wired one mounted to the dash.

Yea, the wired remote is what I am installing tonight or tomarrow. The sony has an LCD display in green light looks cool ;)

please post the pics when you are done. I'm thinking of doing the same thing to mine. Then factory remote is a joke. I found the remotes for $36.00 bucks if you're interested. Check out this link.

A couple of things; First a plain remote works fine, velcurl sp? has kept my Alpine remote in my Baja around for 4 years, that is simple, cheap, and effective. The next thing that all boaters should own that like music, and I love to DJ, is a CD burner. We have wars just to see who has the best mixes. www.kazaa.com, If you need it, KAZAA has it. Just ck the songs to make sure they are complete before you burn them. You throw in 6 burned cd's with 16-18 songs, 80 mins a piece, thats almost 8 hours of the best of the best, From "Rump Shaker", to "goin back to cali", through "baby got back", onto "I wanna be a cowboy", and "cocky". You guys want to hear toons, "Hanky Panky" cove in Grand Haven MI, on a Saturday afternoon, Look for the Fountain Jamin' "I wanna be a baller" with women hangin of the radar arch with their boobs out and thongs on and you will find me drinkin a michelob light, with a grin from ear to ear. Oh sorry I was gettin a little excited there. :cool: :D :cool: :D

Seadated,

$36 is a great price.

Here is the one I am installin tonight

I got it from FWK here on OSO

27- Post em, I'd like to see them. Do you have a remote CD pack?

27Fountain,
does that remote also show the time and station?

OK, if I don't go out drinking tonight for Fat tuesday, I am installing it tonight. I know it shows the station and input, cd/radio aux input, also has changer controls. I have looked at all the wired remotes and in my opinion this is the most functional and coolest looking.

WILL :D

Very nice remote. I like it much better than the one I sent you info on. Thanks for showing it to me...you changed my mind.

Hey, I am back fron Miami Show, and I have pictures of the remote I installed. If one of you have a site to post the pics for me I will e-mail thiem to you, The sony remote looks really good.

What size hole is required for that remote?

It takes 3 holes, two big enough to fit a Bic pin through and one in the middle tyhe size of a quater. I can get you the exact sizes but I am not close to it right now.

Thanks. I didn't know it took three. I thouht it would mount into the dash like a gauge. Most of the remotes I've looked at use a 2.125DIA hole. What is the dia. of the face...I'm trying to find a place to mount it? Also, where did you get it? I am having one heck of a time finding it around here.

Thanks

Gig:)

I think it is about a 3" diameter. I will get exact measurements for you tonight. Also I mounted mine right above the throttle on my dash. Send me your e-mail and I will send you a picture. [email protected]
