Pyle Marine Bluetooth Stereo Radio - 12V Single DIN In-Dash Receiver for Boat Audio with Built-In Mic - Digital LCD - MP3/USB/SD Playback - AM/FM Radio - RCA Output - Remote Control - PLMRB29W

Listen, this is a $35 stereo, that's REALLY ALL you need to know, but I'll elaborate a little.So for $35, the fact that it even works is a bonus, let alone all these features! Yes the housing is made of plastic and it's VERY lightweight, but I would think the plastic costs at LEAST $35 to manufacture and hey, you even get a cardboard box, 2 wiring harnesses and some instructions inside a ziplock envelope. How do you beat that? You don't! NOT for $35 or even $50! Ever buy a phone case for $100?Moving on, for $35, you get bluetooth, an SD card reader, MP3 player, a remote control and TWO sets of pre-outs!Anyone who complains about this stereo is IMHO an uneducated consumer! At this price point AND in the Pyle tradition, you get WAY more than you should expect and if it lasted you 1 Summer, again, it was a $35 stereo, go buy another one or invest in something that you feel would be better quality. I will say this though, I've had a Pi**neer AVEC touch screen fail on me within 1.2yrs and that stereo cost me $600 and that was for my truck. For my boat, I'm not concerned, YET and I was looking for a 'cheapy' just to see if I'm even going to commit to being a boat owner. This stereo performs perfectly, was a snap to install, didn't break the bank and I sound great connected to my SKAR SK65M's and a Pyle 1200w amp.One reviewer left a 1 star review as if she's soooo disappointed, because she even bought a set of $25 Lanzar speakers, LOL!! Maybe she should've just gotten a bluetooth speaker and called it a day? IDKBottom line is, if you're even looking at this stereo, you're NOT looking to spend high end $$$, so don't expect high end quality, BUT DEFINITELY be prepared to be pleasantly surprised!

Got this for my van for some more and easy power to my 4 van speakers. 75w x 4 at max settings is a lot and could even power better speakers. Mine a rated at 75w max RMS. Can barely turn the bass all the way up.Great sound and performs very well. My only disappointment is it not having a mid range adjustment.Amazing quality, looks and performance for such a great price.My pictures show day and night lighting so you can see how much more blue it is at night. The contrast of the white lights was a little hard to capture but it looks great and super clean.

The mounting cage didnt want to lock until i bent the lock tabs to get more pressure on them and still had to push them into position but easy to install and setup besides that. Definitely an upgrade in quality over the older unit this replaced, fits well, has a remote, adjustable eq settings, and sounds pretty good connected to an external amplifier.

The Bluetooth pairs REALLY fast. Love it. Good sound for the money.UPDATE:I used this in the spring and then there recently was a long gap in between when I used it again. The radio was defective and would not pair with Bluetooth anymore. Because of the interval of when I used it last too much time had passed to warranty it through Amazon. I contacted the manufacturer directly and explained the situation. THEY WERE EXCELLENT. They sent me a replacement with no issues. I’m very happy and would definitely buy this again with confidence.

Installed in May of 2024. Started having problems in August of 2024 but could get it to work after repeatedly turning on and off. Put the boat away in October. Last week I put the boat in and stereo will not power on. Checked all fuses has power going to it.It got me through a season for $50, but all the time to install, wish I would have bought a quality product.

I have my deck installed inside my camper, so I can't rate the water resistance. As far as a working deck goes, it is a great unit for the price. I obviously didn't expect to have a Bose sound quality for the price. It is only a 200 watt receiver and that's all you get. It does power little speakers just fine. If you're looking or something loud out of the box, this might not be for you. I use mine for listening to music inside, which is good. Also, I mainly bought this for the Bluetooth capablilty that I can use for streaming movies and documentaries. For my streaming it works awesome. I plan to add a Pyle amp with bigger speakers for outdoor music, and will rate that this summer, once I put that together. Yes, I reccomend.

For the most part this seemed very self explanatory as to getting the deck hooked up. I've done this before so it came somewhat natural to me without following directions much. My boat had already had a current deck with a wiring harness. Luckily it had all the cables still labeled so I snipped the harness from the old deck end, and spliced it into the new harness that came with the stereo deck. There was one new block that had a blue, black, yellow, and red wire. The black was ground, red said battery power, and yellow said ACC. I believe the blue was antenna. My harness didn't have the yellow wired into it's connector block. I had to contact support as I tried direct power to the red and then yellow individually, which didn't work. Support said to try and splice the red and yellow together. Since the boats main connection block did have a pin in the yellow spot, I spliced a new wire/female pin into the wiring harness and wired the yellow to the new harness for the stereo. After doing so it worked. It appears that the yellow and red need to both have power supplied to them so that the deck works. You may want to consider a new wiring harness for your specific boat/vehicle to splice into the harness that Pyle supplies. Trying wire in new pins into a block takes extra tools and hardware that many people probably don't have on hand. Your harness may already have this in place. Hope this helps anyone else that may have troubles with powering up your new stereo.
