I'm on my third Sony, first was non-marine but had the biketronics cover and stopped working after a few weeks because of moisture I assume. Next was a marine and it worked great and I loved how easy the display was to read compared to the non marine style. Nothing was wrong with that unit except it wasn't Bluetooth. So now I have the Sony marine with Bluetooth and I love it. It also has an app you can download to your smart phone so you can make tuning adjustments right from your phone. Pretty nice feature if you have a high powered system to tune. Current model is a Sony MEX-M70BT.

 

I'm running a Kenwood X998 and I really like the HU. It was 4V preouts, front and rear USB ports. The BT is super easy to hook up to your phone or Ipod. I also use a V-Twin rain shield with it too. So many choices...

 

Love my KENWOOD !!

 

Bringing this back up. Kinda like hearing all the real life experience vs. advertising hype. Thanks all for any thoughts.

 

This one is very nice...http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/cde-hd149bt

 

Not a fan of Alpine but I like that unit!

 

Thanks for all of the feed back. I went with Sony Mex m 70bt with metra install kit and aswc-1. Just waiting for install.

 

not installing yourself? it is easy peazy....

 

No. IM NOT GOING TO TACKLE THIS ONE. I HAVE ALREADY BLOWN UP ONE HEAD UNIT AND I REALLY DONT TRUST MY SELF. LOL

 

If you didn't live four hours away I'd give you a hand!
