M508 Marine Digital Media Receiver with Bluetooth by Clarion Marine Audio | Electronics & Navigation at West Marine. Environmentally Tough with Stylish Looks Its single DIN chassis and face make it an excellent replacement system for smaller or older boats, while its upscale design fits right in with today's highly stylized boat consoles and cabins. Designed for the boat environment, the two-line LCD display is able to show the information you need during day or night usage while the connectors have a protective cover to inhibit corrosion and damage. Clearly Visible High Contrast LCD Display The 13-digits 2-line display on the M508 allows numbers and characters to be displayed clearly - in all lighting conditions. Whether you want to know what song is playing on satellite radio or just need to know the time, it's always easy to see. High Quality Bluetooth Audio Streaming powered by Qualcomm® aptX™ and Hands-free Calling Enjoy Bluetooth audio streaming with improved quality thanks to aptX codec support. This technology improves audio quality when listening to compressed audio over Bluetooth in a way that doesn't degrade audio quality or cause latency, and reproduces the full audio bandwidth for quality sound on the waves.With Hands-free Profile, enjoy placing and taking calls through your radios sound system when connected to an optional external microphone. Superior iPod® and iPhone® Connectivity Enjoy the familiar control of your iPhone, through the radios display. Simple control mode lets you easily operate the system using just the iPhone controls, including ABC search to quickly access tunes. Front AUX Input for Convenient Connection With AUX input connectors right on the front of the unit, it's extremely easy to hookup an external audio source for enjoyment through your boats audio system. Dual Zone Audio with Fixed Output With this function, it is possible to split your boat into two discrete zones to enjoy different volume levels of entertainment. For instance, the bow can be tuned-in to a higher volume level for enjoyment in the wind while the stern can enjoy the music at a lower volume to accommodate conversations. Volume levels from the fixed zone are controlled by an optional external volume control device. This is ideal for separate areas such as salons, wakeboard towers, and open bows. Key Features: SiriusXM Satellite Radio with Optional Tuner (SXV100 / 200 / 300) Global Radio Tuner with Weather Band
