Replace older Clarion radio, retain remote control and save money and time without rewiring.
Many boat owners eager to replace older Clarion cassette deck with newer Bluetooth, Sirius radio are left scratching their heads upon discovering the remote control cable don't fit. With this scenario, the boat owner is left to either pay thousands of dollars to run a new cable or forfeit the install; but for less than $50, the CCUMRA1 adapter cable makes it possible to connect Clarion 2009-19 radios to existing wired remote controllers on upper deck, transom, dive platform etc.
Why do you need an adapter cable? The remote plug/socket on Clarion pre-2009 marine products has 6-pins and all 2009-19 products have 8-pin sockets/plugs and because most boats were wired with 6-pin extension cables, it's then not possible to connect 2009-19 radios and retain the remotes. Facing these odds, boat owners are left to either forfeit the upgrade or proceed and keep the remote as an ornament; but thanks to the CCUMRA1 adapter cable, it is possible to install a 2009-19 Clarion 8-pin radio and retain old 6-pin remote with one small exception: LCD display on all remotes remain blank. (Radio frequency, CD, track numbers, etc. are not shown).
» Install a 2009-19 radio (e.g. CMV1, CMD6, M505, M309, CMS1 etc.) and retain old remote (e.g. CMRC1, CMRC2, M101RC M102RC etc.) -- See drop-down and application guide for full listing.
» Works with 6-pin "BOAT CABLE" (M101RC) or 6-pin splitter cable (M101RYC)
» Mute button on non-LCD remotes (e.g. CMRC2 SB, CMRC2-BSS) may or may not function.
» LCD display on remote will no longer display track number, radio station information etc. but function buttons (track up/down, Vol, etc.) remain operational - Don't ignore this warning!
» Older wired remotes do not support IR remote signal pass-through (e.g. MF-1 etc.)
