Well I figured out the "bus in" was also for the days when "satellite ready" receivers were around. That's how they hooked them up--with a bus controller. --& that's why my inputs were used. I could not figure it out at first. Then you guys gave me the idea with the cd changer control.

Anyways, now that there is only Sirius XM radio these days, all that bus control crap is eliminated. It's just one serial port on the back now. No more bus inputs.

The new head unit is in!

All wiring complete.

I now have Bluetooth, Satellite; aux; pandora; CD; tuner; and hands free phone on the boat.

Yay!

Btw, my subwoofer seems to be vibrating. Might be the surround.

Anyone know how to remove the white speaker grill??

I have the "upgraded" system on my '13 232 - which really means an amp and a sub. The speakers are mid grade Kicker - for the price they sound pretty good. The system is definitely underpowered.
I've been thinking I would upgrade the speakers and sub and add a 900w amp with JL equipment. I could just do the amp, but as long as it's at the shop... I may upgrade in the spring after I get new tires for the trailer and get her all pretty.

And to your question AsLan7, Cobalt mounts the sub in front of the first mates seat. Good vibes for all. :)

Roger that Chris.
Thanx

...and we will most likely do the same when we install the tower speakers and TV. Hopefully this spring.
