There is one in the SV29 OL that I was in over Desert storm weekend. I played with it a bit and it seemed really nice. I would buy one for sure. Very simple easy to use and sounded great.

BTW- I have been in the Audio Biz for over 20 years so I kind of know what I am talking about in this area. LOL :-)

I its got my vote....

Thumbs up

They have been scarce in getting the new MS-IP700. It is a nice radio. We have installed 5 to date. You can buy an app for your IPHONE/IPAD that with a Wireless router hooked up you can control the stereo from your phone/pad.
It is a really nice app. Just make sure the wireless router is able to run on 12vdc and in some sort of waterproof box.

The unit will also tie into the NMEA 2000 backbone which allows it to display navigation information as well. Also has VHF band receive only.

So far it looks like to be nice unit.

I had one of the lower end models in my truck. I hated it. The menu navigation was terrible and it eventually stopped working because the face plate wouldn't stay closed. Parts were hard to find at the time so I gave up on it. This was about two years ago. May have gotten better but I'd do some research. Before u Purchase

I have had a fusion radio w/iPod dock and wired remotes for 3 seasons and love it. I have nothing bad to say about it. But plenty of good things to say !!!

That's good to hear, maybe the upper end models are better than the lower end.
