CMV1 Audio-Video-head-Watertight Marine DVD/CD/USB Receiver / CeNET Control
17 Feb
I have been on the search for a heavy duty radio to handle the rigors of travel in the Badlander. There are not many out there, but more are coming on the market. My favorite so far is by Clarion. I found this one on a recent boating trip with a friend. I was impressed at the quality build. I also like the bigger buttons in case I have gloves on. It was easy to opperate and navigate through the options. The screen is a little small, but no big deal. The only concern one might have is mounting. If you are limited on dash space, this can be an issue. It fits in a regular stereo slot, but the larger front face might cause a fitment problem. We got it wet and it held up just fine! If you are in the market for a weather-proof radio, give this one a good long look.
Here are the dimensions:
