Quick-n-easy wired remote control installation to recent Clarion, Kicker or JL Audio digital receivers using the 6-pin extension cable already fitted.
If you plan to, or have already installed the newest Clarion, Kicker or JL Audio digital marine radio and want to add a matching 5-pin threaded wired remote control e.g. CMR-30, KRC55, MMR-20 etc.) to the dive platform, transom etc.; or if replacing a legacy radio/remote with the newest 5-pin digital radio/remote; requires installing a new 5-pin remote control extension cable (e.g. CMC-RC-25, MMC-25, KRCEXT25 etc.). Routing/installing a remote control extension cable in most boats could be daunting, expensive and (in most instances); virtually impossible! but if your boat has a legacy (old) 6-pin remote extension cable already fitted; installing a new 5-pin threaded remote (on drive platform etc.) and matching digital receiver (in cockpit etc.) is a breeze thanks to the CMRR-C5 converter kit. This two-part kit connects a 5-pin digital receiver (e.g. CMM-30, KMC5 etc.) to the front end of the 6-pin remote control extension cable already fitted, and matching 5-pin remote control (e.g. CMR-30, MMR-20 etc.) to the other end thus eliminating the need to install yet another extension cable (e.g. CMC-RC-25, MMC-25 etc.). Click to see install diagram. To install multiple remotes (up to 3) ; purchase 1 or 2 CMRR-R2 along with the CMRR-C5.
» Connect Clarion 2020+ 5-pin threaded digital remote controls (e.g. CMR-30 etc.) to Clarion digital media receivers (e.g. CMM-30 etc.) in any boat with a 6-pin remote control extension cable already fitted.
» Connect Kicker digital remote controls: (e.g. KRC55 etc.) to Kicker digital media receivers (e.g. KMC6 etc.) in any boat with a 6-pin remote control extension cable already fitted.
» Connect JL Audio digital remote controls (e.g. MMR-20 etc.) to JL Audio digital media receivers (e.g. MM55 etc.) in any boat with a 6-pin remote control extension cable already fitted.
» Includes matching 5-pin non-NMEA 2000® (male/female) connector/plug (fits 5-pin remote control /digital media receiver)
» includes matching 6-pin plug/connector. Fits 6-pin "remote control extension cable" (M101RC) or 6-pin splitter cable (M101RYC) already fitted.
» To install these new 5-pin threaded receivers/remotes; boat owner would need to run/install a new remote control extension cable (e.g. CMC-RC-25, MMC-25, KRCEXT25 CMC-RC-25, MMC-6 etc.).
» Two part kit and each cable is approximately 6 inches long.
» Not applicable to JL Audio MMR-40 NMEA 2000 with Micro-C connector
[Please read all requirements and warnings listed below prior to purchasing this part]
Who can benefit from the CMRR-C5 conversion cable kit?
1. Boat owners installing Clarion 3rd Gen. remote controls to matching receivers in any boat with a 1stGen. 6-pin remote control extension cable (e.g. M101RXC-RET, MW-RXC-RET etc.) already fitted.
2. Boat owners installing JL Audio 5-pin threaded remote controls to matching receivers in any boat with a 1st Gen. 6-pin remote control extension cable (e.g. M101RXC-RET, MW-RXC-RET etc.) already fitted.
3. Boat owners installing Kicker 5-pin threaded remote controls to matching receivers in any boat with a 1st Gen. 6-pin remote control extension cable (e.g. M101RXC-RET, MW-RXC-RET etc.) already fitted.
Additional information/history of interest:
- (2009-Up) Clarion marine radios (e.g. M608 etc.) and wired remotes (e.g. MW1 etc.); use 8-pin DIN extension cable (e.g. MWRXCRET etc.). If boat has a 1st Gen. 6-pin DIN extension cable; the CCUMRA1 and/or CUMRA2 adapter cables are required to update to Clarion 2nd Gen. marine products. Warning: These adapter cables (e.g. CCUMRA1 & CCUMRA2) do not apply to Clarion 3rd Gen. marine products.
- To connect 3rd Gen. (2020-Up) Clarion and newer Kicker & JL Audio digital marine source units (radios) and wired remotes, requires routing/installing a 5-pin non-NMEA 2000® extension cables (e.g. CMC-RC-25, MMC-6 etc.) but if boat has a 6-pin DIN extension cable (already fitted), purchase our CMRR-C5 cable kit. instead.
