Had this installed in boat 4 months ago, so far so good. Sound quality is excellent, lost BT connection once, but was able to reconnect. Love the integration with Garmin electronics.

Purchased this unit for our boat; works great in that capacity. Really well laid out controls, without extra sound modes and flashy lights, etc.

Like many people, one of the first things I did was load up my USB stick with my boat music collection, hit "random" and waited for the stream of tunes to drive my day on the water. Disappointment #1. I quickly learned that the unit only randomizes WITHIN a folder, not across folders! So this is great if I only want to hear random Jimmy Buffett all day, but occasionally I'd like to throw something else into the mix, right?So I take the time to copy all the songs out of each folder and put them into a single folder. Disappointment #2. When I do this, each song starts playing for 2 seconds then stops. You have to pause the song, then push play again. Every. Single. Song. I had a pretty good USB stick but it was a few years old, so I thought "hey maybe this is so modern that I need a more current version of USB?" So I get a new 256 GB Samsung USB 3.1 device. Copy it all over. Same thing.I reach out to Fusion support, which to their credit got back quickly and in person by phone. Turns outa) your USB stick can't be more than 16GB (hard to even find 'em that small any more)b) you're limited to 250 songs in any folderSo basically "Random" doesn't work the way that 99% of people want it to. I can randomize within an artist or album (folder) but not across my collection, and only 250 songs. How difficult would it be to have it randomize across folders vs within? I think the answer lies not within the software but the hardware.Ironically, I have an old cell phone from 2012 that I can load all the music I want on, and it will shuffle it just fine and stream it via Bluetooth. So this stereo is clearly built to maximize profits, not to provide a decent user experience. It doesn't have the memory and processing power to perform the simplest tasks that users expect. Unfortunately I've already cut the hole in my dash, so this is now my expensive annoying experience to live with. I wish I'd have known.

Replaced a Fusion unit in a Boston Whaler 230 Venture. Supposed to be a drop in replacement, but some wiring required. Excellent unit. Good upgrade.

This is a quality stereo but when it advertises a 3 zone capability I expected all three zones to be amplified. I ended up having to buy an additional amplifier for the third zone. It works great though and I love that I can control it with my smart phone. It is very intuitive to operate. Great
