I added two using a Y cable.
Hi...so you were able to successfully connect 2 Marc100 remotes to a marine audio MA200 stereo? Both work at the same time? You used that Polk audio Y-splitter?

Thanks,
Gerald

So is there a definitive answer on whether or not the MA200 stereo can run 2 Marc100 remotes at the same time? What is the part # of the Y-splitter used of this works?

Thanks

@YamaNoob

Just placed the order for another Y-Cable.

Wife and I have decided to install the second remote. If I can rework the Y-Cable, and the stereo accepts it great. If not we'll just plug/unplug the remote we need when we need it.

I'll keep you posted on progress.
Hi again....were you able to find or make a splitter to connect the 2 Marc100 remotes? Also, how did you attach the remote on the swim platform? I don't have any type of bracket for the Marc100 I found. Can you send a pic of how you attached it.

Thanks....YamaN00b

Finally found marc100 wired remotes for the MA200 stock radio on my 2017 AR190!!! I was skeptical, but I purchased 2 anyway. They arrived yesterday and they are legit. Paid $35 each. I hooked one up today and it works. I just have to figure how to mount it. It did not come with any mounting hardware like the Sony I tried.

Hi! I;m another victim of a damaged PA4A. Does the MARC200 work with the conex system? Its just plug n play? Plaug n play besides of the different hole sizes?
