Default Time for a Little Up-Grade

My faithful Sony CDX-M10 Marine CD Stereo has been removed and replaced. I hardly ever listened to CD's, mostly ran my MP3 player through it. Also I just could not stand looking at Silver and White Stereo any more on my black bike.



The Stereo has been replaced with a Sony DXS-S100. This is not a CD Stereo. The front opens and you can put your I-Pad, I-Phone, MP3 Player or as in my case an 8 gig memory stick.

So Far I like it very much.



One issues, since my bike is a Road King, I don't have the radio controls on the handle bars. I discovered if I put the IR remote that came with the stereo where I normally put my MP3 Player I could control the Stereo with it. The only trick was it had to be up side down. I believe it is bouncing the beam off the tank. I just need to find a water proof cover to go over the remote. It is on Velcro so I can pull it off quickly and easily.

I like the looks. Haven't done any research on it but I know that companies like Otterbox etc make waterproof holders for cell phones etc. Maybe they make these as well or you could adapt one to make it work.
Have fun with the new unit!!
