Kensington SnapLock Keyboard Tray (Black)

I received the IDA-X100m for installation into a 180 Bowrider (2000 Crownline). My boat came with a cassette deck (what they didn't have CDs in 2k??), so obviously it was going to have to go away.

I recently purchased a Pioneer MVH-P8200 for my RV about 2 weeks previous. That deck is also a AV receiver with Iphone integration and without a CD player. Since all of my media is digital, I had become used to having to burn CDs for use in the car which was both a waste of time and money but easy enough.

I have always went for Alpine decks, and for my boat their was not another choice, the Ipod function is flawless with little to be desired! It was a little tricky to find the treble and bass settings. The only draw back to the deck is the Fm radio is very stat-icky, I have bought an antenna booster and still having a problem. I thought to myself this is the perfect opportunity to buy the HD tuner but the reviews are discouraging, the last option is to run a ground from the battery to see if I can solve this problem that way. If not I will be buying the Sirius kit, been a long time subscriber and will have no need for the Fm radio after that.

Great head unit, but the radio tuner is weak for the price. The Ipod & USB control is great, quality wonderful, just a weak tuner!!
