When deciding to install a 2020+ Clarion, Kicker or JL Audio digital marine radio and corresponding wired remote control; the CMRR-C5 is a must!
Many boat owners keep putting off plans to install the newest Clarion, Kicker or JL Audio digital marine remote controls (e.g. CMM-30, MM105 etc.) to the dive platform, transom etc. because they are faced with having to run yet another extension cable which may seem dauting and expensive. For less than $100, the CMRR-C5 2-part conversion cable kit plus the 6-pin DIN extension cable already fitted; makes it possible for these boat owners to complete this install in minutes. One conversion cable connects the new radio to one end of the extension cable in cabin, etc. and the other to the new remote on the other end of the extension cable (upper deck, transom, dive platform etc.) it's that easy!
Who can benefit from this conversion cable kit?
- Any boat already fitted with a 1st generation (1998-08) Clarion marine radios and wired remotes; will have this 6-pin DIN extension cable (e.g. M101RXC-RET, MW-RXC-RET etc.) already fitted.
Conversely:
- 2nd generation (2009-Up) Clarion marine radios and wired remotes; use 8-pin DIN extension cable (e.g. MWRXCRET etc.) or use current 6-pin DIN extension with our CCUMRA1 and/or CUMRA2 adapters.
- 3rd generation (2020-Up) Clarion, Kicker and JL audio digital marine source units (radios) and wired remotes requires a 5-pin non-NMEA 2000® extension cable (e.g. CMC-RC-25, MMC-6 etc.) or use current 6-pin DIN extension cable with our CMRR-C5 adapters.
» Connect select 2020+ marine digital receivers (e.g. CMM-20 etc.) to matching wired marine remote control (e.g. CMR-10, MMR-20 etc.) using 1st generation 6-pin extension cable.
» Works with Clarion: CMM-30, CMM-20, CMM-30BB, CMR-30, CMR-20, CMR-10
» Works with Kicker: KMC5, KRC55
» Works with JL audio: MM105, MM55, MM105-HR, MMR-20-BE
» Matching 5-pin non-NMEA 2000® (male/female) connector/plug (Fits the 5-pin remote plug on source unit)
» Matching 6-pin DIN plug/connector fits 6-pin "extension cable" (M101RC) or 6-pin splitter cable (M101RYC) already fitted
» Avoids having to re-wire boat with a CMC-RC-25, MMC-6 25 or 6-foot cable.
» 2 part male/female conversion cables (6 inches long)
» Not applicable to JL Audio MMR-40
