Our take on the Alpine MC20

Extend the control of your Alpine marine receiver with the MC20 Wireless Remote Commander kit. The kit's RF transceiver plugs into the back of your Alpine receiver, allowing you to mount the MC20 remote wherever you like — no wiring needed. Don't worry about the elements, as this remote meets tough standards for splash protection, UV exposure, and salt/fog exposure.

The remote's full, dot-matrix display shows system information in detail, and it's easy to read in bright sunlight. You can take charge of volume and sub level controls, plus all your receiver's sources, including your iPod®, satellite radio, and other add-ons.

Highlights:

  • remote control and RF transceiver kit
  • remote meets iPx6 splash protection, ATSM B117 salt/fog protection, and ASTM G154/D4329 UV protection standards
  • compatible with Alpine CDA-118M, iDA-X100M, and CDA-9886M marine receivers, plus Alpine RUE-M1RF remote control kit
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Features

Overview: The Alpine MC20 wireless remote commander kit gives you multi-zone control over all your Alpine marine sources. In addition to control over your Alpine marine head unit, you get full control over additional sources like iPod, HD Radio, and Satellite Radio. The MC20 offers a full dot matrix LCD display with backlighting so you can view song/artist/album info plus volume levels and sub levels.

Marine Rated: The Alpine MC20 is has been marine tested and features an IPx6 waterproof/iPx6 High Pressure WJ design so you can mount it almost anywhere on your boat. The MC20 wireless remote is also Salt/Fog (ASTM B117) certified, and UV (ASTM G154/D4329) certified.

Compatibility: The MC20 wireless remote control is compatible with all Alpine marine head units that feature a wired-remote input and display connector. The MC20 is also compatible with the Alpine RUE-M1RF remote control kit.

RF Design: The Alpine MC20 wireless remote control kit includes an RF wireless remote control and RF wireless transceiver. The wireless transceiver plugs into the back of your compatible Alpine marine head unit using the Steering Wheel remote input and display input; while the wireless remote commander can be installed up to 30 feet away. The RF wireless transceiver allows the wireless remote commander and your Alpine marine head unit to communicate over a 2.4GHz frequency.

Note: Both the wireless remote commander and the wireless transceiver requires a power and ground connection. When the transceiver is connected to the head unit, the infrared pickup on the head unit becomes inoperative.

Dual Zone Operation: The Alpine MC20 is compatible with Dual Zone volume/mute control on select Alpine marine headunits (with CDA-118M only).

Installation: The remote commander features an integrated bracket system allowing you to mount the remote in an accessible location. The required installation measurements are approximately:

  • Cutout Diameter: 2.0625"
  • Mounting Depth: 2.3125"
  • Overall Diameter: 3.8125"
  • Mounting Height: 0.75"

LCD Display: The Alpine MC 10 features a high contrast display designed to work in direct sunlight so you can view song information and audio functions.

Expandability: You can add additional RF remote commanders (MC2, sold separately) to allow system control from multiple locations like the swim step, open bow, or passenger area of your boat. You can program as many as eight remotes to work with the same Alpine head unit.

Alpine MC20

Written By RS, Chicago,IL on Sunday, November 07, 2010
 
IT works ok once hooked up and is fine for the radio presets and cd. For use with an ipod its tedious and really impossible to find a song unless you create your playlist on the ipod. The scrolling takes forever.
