252S Tower Speakers

[German59731]

Ok this may have been covered already but I want to see if anyone has added tower speakers to the stock radio and amp set up on the 252s. Specifically what I’ve noticed is on the transom control there are four level controls. One for sub, one for inside, one for transom speakers, and finally the last one if you push it brings up a tower zone on the screen. However this zone is not accessible from the screen you HAVE to use the 4th button on the transom control. I feel like this HAS to be a programming issue. Has anyone had any luck addding the tower speakers and having Yamaha or yourself program it to use this “hidden” zone? I really want to avoid the high input route and use the stock setup.

Tower speakers should have their own dedicated amp.

No luck on programming. The 12" screen doesn't even have the pin outs. If I had a wiring diagram I would attempt to pin and see what happens.

However some people have had luck getting into the Service Screen on the 12" and changing the model of the boat to a XE, which turns on the tower speaker zone. However you lose other features such as the shower control (and still would have to pin the outputs).
