Everything I wanted for my boat

My 4 yr old Kenwood died. I was looking for a unit with BT and 3 pre amp outputs for the old configuration, the amps,SW etc. Once I figured the unit out by disabling the SW since I have one the receiver sounds great. The App remote with the equalizer is fantastic. The BT range has a 100' range, that's amazing. Make sure you buy the right remote RM-X11, which Sonic for some reason doesn't carry. I also installed a remote USB, you will need that to utilize the remote app you download on your phone. I Highly recommend this receiver.

Great Deck for the Boat

I waited a bit to post a review as I wanted to get out on the water with it. After 3 times out, I figured out all the functions as the manual is a good start but doesn't expain everything. USB thumbdrive works good as well as ipod interface. The deck can take over all the features or you can hit a few buttons so you can control everything from the Ipod itself. (it can get cumbersome trying to go back, scroll, and select from the deck itself while a song is playing).

I love the 3 pre-outs as I had 3 channels with front rear and bass. Setting up bluetooth was fairly simple and pandora worked great.

Excellent unit

Bought this to instal in the fairing of my Harley. The display is easily viewed in direct sunlight. The controls are user friendly and the front USB is perfect. The rear outputs are great for the amp hook up. Makes fantastic sound at 80 mph. Installed 3 others in motorcycles. Best marine unit ever. SONIC SERVICE IS EXCELLENT!!!!

Great overall headunit

I've gone though many units before. There are 3 things I always look for.
1. Built in Bluetooth
2. Rear USB (Front optional)
3. Aux Port

This unit delivered. It has front AND rear USB free, not like most that have both but have a Bluetooth adapter attached to either one.

If you have a usb with a lot of songs that are organized in folders then it is tricky to navigate your folders with this unit but once you get used to the album system its fairly easy.

Sound quality is great, although a bit quite as this was installed in a 19' bow rider paired with Kenwood KFC-1653 Speakers.

The remote is the same remote Sony has been using for a while now, a new feature APP Remote V2 is also available. People with smart phones download the app (IOS/Android) and can change song, source, options. Straight from the phone via Bluetooth, although if you are steaming via Bluetooth audio then the app remote will not work.

Overall I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants the most bang for their buck, lots of features and robust keys make this a must for people looking for a high quality marine headunit.

great radio for the cost

Good radio for the boat, wish they had a way to keep station memory with out draining battery. Love the Pandora with the iPhone, charges while being used. Was concerned about data use but it seems reasonable, we use it for hours at a time.

Mex 70bt sony radio

Good radio , performs as it should . Quick delivery product was as described , would use seller again !

Soney MEX-M70BT

Great radio, I installed this in my Harley and the performance is just what I was looking for in a weather resistance package. The controls are easy to read and work even in gloves.

Awesome marine stero

This stereo is what I expected plus more. Went through 4 cheap stereos last summer that were not marine. I hope this one stands up. This stereo cost the same as the 4 cheap one I ruined by getting rained on.

Great marine radio

I installed one of these Sony marine radios on my deck to drive several outdoor speakers in our yard on a lake. My wife has picked up how to use the unit and pairing an iPhone to it with ease. It's weather resistant too, so I decided to get another one for my Odes UTV. Installed easily in my single din slot and looks great. Paired with a Lanzar amp and Rockford Fosgate M282B-Wake speakers and I have the biggest, baddest stereo I could want. I would recommend the Sony to anyone wanting a weather resistant unit for outdoor use.

works so far!

Product works well on my bike. Will see if it still works in 6-9 months. Had another brand and had to have it repaired under warranty after 6 months and completely died just after the warranty ran out. Hope this one last longer. Due to being on a bike it has to put up with a lot.

Big Thumbs Up!

If you have a Smartphone, this stereo head unit is bad ass. I have Spotify. It integrates perfectly. Take time and READ the manual. There are may features to set up. It has volume balancing and cross over features that work well with my sub and speakers. The eq is easily controlled on the Phone App. So it adjusting the volume setting for each speaker and all the speakers. You can also adjust the sub volume from your phone.
I did not use the built in power and went with 2 Sony amps and an amplified sub.
On my Malibu boat, the stereo is mounted below your elbow and not very easy to get at. Besides the phone, you can add a wired remote (this I have on order).
Overall, very impressed with the features and sound quality for the money.

Excellent product

I bought this radio to replace my stock head unit on my 08 Ultra Classic. The radio has all the features I was looking for. The Bluetooth synchs easily to my phone, and the screen is easy to see while riding during sunny days. I received my order quickly without any problems.
