When deciding to install a 2020+ Clarion, Kicker or JL Audio radio to corresponding wired remote control; the CMRR-C5 is for you!
Many boat owners keep putting off plans to install the newest Clarion, Kicker or JL Audio digital marine receiver and remote because they are faced with having to run yet another remote extension cable. Others may have already installed the new receiver (e.g. CMM-30, MM105 etc.) but unable to add a wired remote control (e.g. CMR-10 etc.) on dive platform, transom etc. and the thought of running a new remote extension cable seem dauting and expensive. For less than $100, the CMRR-C5 2-part conversion cable kit makes it possible for these boat owners to retrofit using the 6-pin DIN extension cable already fitted. One conversion cable connects the new radio to one end of the extension cable in cabin, etc. and the other connects the new remote to the other end of the extension cable (upper deck, transom, dive platform etc.) it's that easy!
Who can benefit from this conversion cable kit?
Any boat already fitted with a 1st generation (1998-08) Clarion marine radio and wired remote; should have this 6-pin DIN extension cable (e.g. M101RXC-RET, MW-RXC-RET etc.) already fitted.
Conversely:
2nd generation (2009-Up) Clarion marine source units (radios) and wired remotes; use 8-pin DIN extension cable (e.g. MWRXCRET etc.) and required our CCUMRA1/CCUMRA2 adapter cables if wired with an 8-pin DIN extension.
3rd generation (2020-Up) Clarion as well as Kicker and JL audio digital marine source units (radios) and wired remotes requires a 5-pin non-NMEA 2000® extension cable (e.g. CMC-RC-25, MMC-6 etc.) or use the 6-pin DIN cable already fitted with the CMMR-C5 conversion kit.
» Connect select 2020+ marine digital receiver (e.g. CMM-20 etc.) to wired marine remote control (e.g. CMR-10, MMR-20 etc.) using 1st generation 6-pin extension cable extension cable.
» Works with Clarion: CMM-30, CMM-20, CMM-30BB, CMR-30, CMR-20, CMR-10
» Works with Kicker: KMC5, KRC55
» Works with JL audio: MM105, MM55, MM105-HR, MMR-20-BE
» Matching 5-pin non-NMEA 2000® (male/female) connector/plug (Fits the 5-pin remote plug on source unit)
» Matching 6-pin DIN plug/connector fits 6-pin "extension cable" (M101RC) or 6-pin splitter cable (M101RYC) already fitted
» Avoids having to re-wire boat with a CMC-RC-25, MMC-6 25 or 6-foot cable.
» 2 part male/female conversion cables (6 inches long)
» Not applicable to JL Audio MMR-40
Installation
1. Locate 6-pin "boat" extension cable behind OEM radio or cavity. Note if there is no 6-pin extension cable, this cable kit will not apply.
2. Locate the 5-pin remote cable on the Clarion, Kicker or JL Audio digital receiver
3. Connect CMRR-C5 5-Pin male plug to the 5-pin radio remote cable connector.
4. Connect CMRR-C5 6-pin connector to the extension cable 6-pin plug (leading to remote control).
5. Go to remove location and locate the extension cable 6-pin connector behind wired remote cavity
6. Connect CMRR-C5 6-pin female to extension cable 6-pin plug
7. Connect CMRR-C5 5-pin connector to the 5-pin remote control (e.g. CMR-10) plug.
