Question: It mentions a remote. How well does that work and does this unit allow the installation of a hardwired remote that could put on the back of my boat?
Document: bought this to put in the boat because of the low price. good little unit so far. sound is good. haven't had it long enough to know whether it will last but so far so good.
Boss Audio MR1315WUA Marine MP3-Compatible Digital Media ReceiverHad to replace another receiver in my boat that the saltwater destroyed. This one is holding up well and seems to have a lot of power.
The sound from this receiver is fine but the light on the screen to illuminate the tuner,volume, etc, does not work. Considering in brought this to the Bahamas to use on my boat I guess I will live with this great example of Chinese quality.
Can't see the screen at all. Got the radio mounted up in the T-Top radio box on the boat and have to stand on my tip toes to see anything. Screen is black. Don't see anything in the instructions about adjusting screen brightness. Well I basically use it with my iPod since I hate commercial radio. and I've got several thousand songs on the thing.
Great features and good sound for the price. I like the idea of a mechless stereo on a boat considering the beating it can take on a choppy lake. The stereo had no problems reading songs off a SD card and a USB stick. Amazingly,  I put 220 songs on a 1 Gb SD card so that will provide many hours of music on my boat. At higher volumes,  the sound remains clear and crisp coming out of my Boss 5.25 inch speakers. I don't get thunderous bass out of this receiver/speaker combination but it is more than adequate for me.
Wasted one whole day.... Only to find out they won't take the radio back....
Has all the features I wanted...SD capability, USB port and I-Touch hook ups. Good FM reception and nice remote. Has plenty of power with 250 watts.
Replaced the crappy Pyle indash that the previous owner installed in my pontoon. Now the sound cuts out at higher volume. Not the stereo's fault, I'm sure it's just crappy speaker wire as the speakers are 100 watts. This stereo just has too much power! But I'm not complaining, I'll just run higher gauge speaker wires which should fix the problem. Very nice unit for the money!
So far this has been a pretty decent radio. I can't say much for the power because I have it going through an amp. I like that fact that it is all rubberized and water resistant. I've tested it with USB and iPod and they both work fine. I mainly bought it for the SD card which is real nice because it fits in flush and you can close the cover over it keeping water out..  You can hear a bit of noise or static when switching tracks or between songs. But not that noticeable when you are out on the lake.
Nice looking radio, all the bells and whistles. It took me two months to get up enough nerve to tear into my dashboard to replace the old radio, then 3 1/2 hours to actually get to the old radio. Another 2 hours to remove the old radio and install the new radio. Only to find it had no sound. Then an hour and a half to re-install the old one after spending an hour fixing the old radios plug. Then two more hours putting the dash back together. WOW, I have the same radio I started with and you can't even tell I had the dash all apart.
Answer: My remote did not work, but it was no big deal to me because I used this receiver for an ice chest radio.  If you're looking for something for your boat, I would recommend the Boss MR 1620.  This receiver comes with a wired remote.  This is the model I bought off of Amazon for my boat in which I never have to use the buttons on the receiver itself; only use the remote.  I have had this receiver for about 3 years now with no problems.
