Default Sony head unit w/ipod tray

Does anyone know of a Sony head unit that has an ipod tray built in that is also marine. I have had 2 Sony units that were not marine units and couldn't see the display in the sun.
I have the biketronics kit already

I have the Sony DSX-MS60. This is a marine unit with a bright display. I got it from Biketronics you can find it cheaper if you check around.

does it charge the ipod? From looking at the cord it looks like you might be able to use a flash drive in place of the ipod, is that true?

I use a flash drive all the time. It will charge a Ipod but mine has a hard drive and does not like vibration.

I've got one (DSX-MS60). Display can be seen just fine in the sun. Ipod gets charged, Works great! I have no complaints......Well, maybe that the hand controls have a little delay or arent quite as sensitive as I'd like.

Question installation?

So is the head unit difficult to install? Will I need any adapters, and will my handlebar controls still work? Thanks!

You can always get the splash cover from biketronics and get any head unit you like.

I have 1 of the non marine units in my RK with the aftermarket batwing. Great unit cant say if it is visible in the daylight as my son uses this bike and he works nights and I work days.
