Sony Marine AM/FM/CD Radio
28 Oct 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
Great radio. Reception Range far exceeds previous radio. Did need to purchase additional mounting hardware (a metric screw post for back of unit); but very pleased with purchase.

Great radio for a motorcycle
21 Nov 2010
After many years of good service, the JVC cd player I installed in my Harley-Davidson Electra Glide died. I chose this Sony unit as a replacement primarily in the hopes that it would have some additional weatherproofing relative to the JVC. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Sony, although the face of the unit does not appear to be any more weatherproof than a non-marine stereo.
This unit has a 1/8" input on the front to run an iPod or other mp3 player into, and will play a CD loaded with mp3's too. The 1/8" input has a user-adjustable gain setting, which lets you match the Sony to the volume level output by the iPod/mp3 player.
It seems to produce good volume. I can't attest to the sound quality, because there is no such thing as quality sound when the bike is running, given the high ambient noise level from the bike, wind noise, etc. Nonetheless, the sound can be cranked up pretty well without distorting.
One thing that people may be interested in is that this Sony unit plays nice with polarized sunglasses. That is, you can still read the display if you're wearing polarized sunglasses. Many liquid crystal displays (LCD's) are almost impossible to read when wearing polarized sunglasses, so this is a nice feature that was included by Sony.

Much better than stock boat radio
7 May 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this to replace the stock marine radio which came with my SunTracker pontoon boat. I would use the FM modulators on my XM radio and iPhone charger to play those through the radio, but the radio station would "drift" and I'd lose signal. I was looking for an inexpensive radio that could lock in the tuner digitally, and everything else was gravy. Well, I got all that and more. Not only do I not get the FM "drift," I can now directly connect those devices through the AUX jack if I want. Installation was a breeze -- I just marked the boat's speaker, power and ground wires and then wired them up according to the instructions. The only thing I did was connect the yellow wire (as well as the red wire) to the ACC instead of the battery line -- I didn't want the unit draining my battery when I wasn't using the boat for extended periods. The time resets every time I turn off the ACC, but I'm OK with that. And it wouldn't work without the yellow wire connected. The unit fit perfectly in the original mounting hole on the boat. Oh, and by the way, it sounds SOOO much better than the original unit through my original speakers - louder, clearer and more "punch" -- even before tweaking the equalization settings. I am very pleased with my purchase.
