I'm not familiar with this brand, but it seems the current trend in
radios is to move away from CDs towards use of media like the iPod. I
don't have a stereo on my boat, but we've thought about installing one
this year.... one feature we can no longer do without is satellite
radio.....


I've been slow to warm up to the ipod phenomenon. Guess I'm just
enough of an old fart that I'm not as adaptable as when younger.

However, there is a device into which you plug an ipod or other
digital storage device that will broadcast the contents a few feet on
a dedicated FM band.
If an old-fashioned (!) CD player has an FM tuner, it's possible to
play the ipod material through a standard stereo system so that more
than one person can listen to the music: (What a concept!)

Boss, Jensen and some of the other units I have seen all have at least
one auxialiary input for Ipods and the like. This Boss unit has two,
one on the front and one in the rear to accomodate an input from a
remote location.

My boat AM/FM CD stereo has an ipod connector - I don't have an ipod.
I do, however have an old 1980s Walkman cassette player. It plugs
right into that ipod connector (cable from the headset plug to the
ipod connector at any electronics store) so now I can play all of my
cassettes ;-)

Yeah, I am old....

If you were really old, like Shortwave Snortfisher, you'd be playing
8-tracks.

Or strumming a guitar and blowing into a harmonica in a neck strap.

If I could connect my 8-track / turntable combo unit from the 1970s to
the boat stereo, I just might ;-)

Go even farther than that, when in the late 50's Caddillac tried to
market a 12v 45 rpm record player that was mounted in the dash.

They did market the turntable. One of the Burt Reynolds movies or TV shows,
his caddie had the record player. As to records, funny comment. My
daughter is a therapist for handicapped children. She brought her old
Phiser-Price record player into her office one day. One of the little kids
picked up a 78 rpm record and stated that "is the biggest CD I ever saw.".
You forget the kids of today, never had records or cassettes.
