Fusion ARX70 Wireless Remote Control

I've been meaning to showcase a new product from Fusion for a while now but summer boating has gotten in the way. When I installed my Fusion MS-RA70 head unit in my SX192, I began looking for a remote control that I could use at the helm. Fusion has an app for my iPhone to control the head unit, but it is difficult to use while under way because there is no tactile feel when touching the iPhone screen. Enter the new Fusion ARX70 Bluetooth Wireless Remote!
At just $50, this little remote is FANTASTIC! It is waterproof, wireless, offers total control of almost all stereo system functions, and up to 6 of them can be used to control a single head unit. This meant that for my boat, I could mount one in the bow, at the helm, and at the transom to control my stereo. Did I mention it was wireless?! Holy cow, no running wires (and drilling holes in my boat!), and they pair themselves immediately once you turn on your head unit. I cannot remember when I was this excited about an electronic device - even my wife was super stoked about it!

I forgot to mention that they are self adhesive and come in either black or white. They have a very nice tactile click to the buttons when you depress them. You can even control the zones individually from each remote - for example: from any of the remotes, I can adjust the volume of the front speakers, rear speakers, or all the speakers. Super cool devices!
