With video input, it's easy to view a bait or livewell, or use it when backing up with a separately purchased camera.

The USB input reads WMAs and MP3s, and plays tracks/displays artwork if an Apple® device is connected.

The 5-7/8" W" x 4" H x 1" D faceplate uses a standard 3.5" round cutout. With built-in NMEA 2000 protocol , networking is easy. It comes wired remote-ready.
