Just installed a new head unit and remotes in my 2005 255. I went with the Fusion MS-RA70NSX head unit because it has Nema 2000
for the remotes. The remotes are Fusion MS-NRX300 and are easy to install with Nema 2000. Just the right size for both the dash and
transom. They also come with nice silicone covers. The head unit has bluetooth built in also. Fusion link app for your phone to control
radio as well. The head unit fit perfectly in the old radios location.
New model Co detector is a Fireboy/Xintex. It replaced my old Fireboy Co detector perfectly, holes matched even though it is a new model.

Re: Fusion Radio and CO detector
Looks good! How do you like the functionality of the Fusion so far? I've been kicking the tires on upgrading mine to the RA70 and using the wireless controllers

Re: Fusion Radio and CO detector
BigGib, I really like the Fusion radio. Much more intuitive than most to use. They also seem to be very well made.
I went with the RA70NSX because of the Nema 2000 capability, made installing the remotes a snap. Much more control
and info with the wired remotes and they even are a better fit in my case than the wireless remotes.
(Remotes I used require a radio with Nema 2000 built in).
All the reviews of the wireless remotes seem to be excellent by the way.
Radio you are considering is exactly the same as mine without Nema 2000 I believe. If you go with Fusion products you will really
like them.

Re: Fusion Radio and CO detector
All good to hear, thanks!
I'd love the wired remotes but don't want to deal with running the cables for them. Also raises the budget a little and which always goes over well with the wife
