Can I replace the head unit on my boat and still use the remote at the helm to control the new unit? The head unit on the boat we just purchased does not have an aux input on it. It looks like the original stereo from 2001 so this would be before the days of MP3 players and iPods. I want to put a more modern head unit in but also want to keep the ability to control the stereo from the helm. Any ideas? |

The head unit is Sony and I'm pretty sure the helm remote also is Sony. I probably won't get down there until next weekend to verify. |

Head units and remotes are often paired and vary from year to year even with the same manufacturer. You might have to replace both. When you're at your boat, try and get the specific model number of the remote along with the brand, then do a web search to find compatibility. |

Our helm remote on our 268 was made by Access Technologies, and was not compatible with the new Sony HU I installed last summer. It came with a hand held remote, and could just use that from the helm, and it did the same functions as the in dash remote. I re-installed the old Sony HU in the 268 when we sold it, so the helm remote would work for the new owner. Your Sony dash remote (if you have it) will have to be compatible with SONY RM-X2C and RM-X4S remote control radios . |

So look for a Sony HU that has SONY RM-X2C and RM-X4S capability, and your Access Technologies helm remote will run the new HU. I believe it works with some Pioneer HU's also. Some info here. http://www.access-tech.net/ |
