Our take on the Sony RM-X60M/L

Sony's RM-X60M/L wired marine remote control lets you manage the tunes on your boat from a convenient spot — without exposing your Sony stereo to the elements. When connected to a compatible Sony marine stereo, this splash-proof remote can handle track selection, fast-forward, rewind, volume, and source selection. If you've added a Sony HD Radio™ module, iPod® adapter, or satellite radio tuner to your stereo, you can use this remote to navigate quickly through long lists of stations or music files.

This 4" round remote comes with an 16.5-foot cable, so you can mount it in a variety of locations. Store your stereo safely inside the cabin and let this IPx7-compliant remote deal with the sun, salt, and spray. Warranty: 1 year.

Features

Compatibility: The RM-X60M is designed to work with Sony's UniLink control marine receivers that are compatible with Sony's wired remote. The included UniLink "Y" adapter allows you to connect this unit and another UniLink source (CD changer, Satellite or HD Radio, and iPod) to a compatible head unit.

Display: The display shows source and mode information, satellite radio information, and RDS and CD text information (if supplied by the head unit).

Water Resistant: The remote is water resistant, so it is ideal for use on boats, where a head unit needs to be kept dry, but you need to control it from a damp remote location.

Mounting: The RM-X60M requires a 3.25" diameter round cutout. It's held in place using the included mounting bracket. The mounting depth is 1.4375".

Buttons:

  • Volume +/-: used for volume control
  • Source: selects source (Tuner, CD, CD-changer, Satellite, HD-Radio, iPod, etc)
  • Muting: mutes output
  • Off: turns remote off
  • Mode: cycles through radio bands, satellite bands, etc
  • Seek/AMS |<</>>|:change tuner frequency, change track, search within track
  • GP/ALBM+/-: skip groups or albums

Replaced my Sony RM-XM10 remote with this one. Works great and looks better too! Gave it only 4 stars because I've only had it a few weeks but, so far so good. Thanks Crutchfield! You were far more help than Sony themselves!

Upgrade and lose functionality?

I upgraded from an older Sony CD w/iPod interface and RMX55 to the newer
head unit with the tune tray (DMX MS60) and an RMX60. The iPod control on
the head unit is excellent with USB interface speed. The RMX60 ,however,
does not display any information in the mode setting or the Playlist name
which is troubling since my deck is in the cabin...the older wired remote was
slower but did display all the information. Fix those two items and it is a 10, as
it is, disappointing is the best I can do.

Crutchfield delivered as usual! Great service. Pretty nice unit. Note: before you cut a 3-1/4" hole in your boat, this unit can control your Ipod, but cannot control playlists, artists etc. So you will be scrolling through 500 or so songs to find what you want. I should have read the specs a little closer.
Pros:
Nice package. Waterproof.
Cons:
Big hole to mount it. No "search by" feature
