Built for boating

This rugged little remote is both IPX6 and IPX7 water resistant, so you can mount it on a transom, swim platform, or pretty much anywhere else you need audio control. The compact, low-profile design fits into almost any location, and its single CR2032 battery lasts up to 3 years under normal use and is very easy to reach and replace.

The MS-ARX70's easy-to-use rubberized tactile buttons make it operation a lot easier in wet conditions and the LED light-bar helps you see what you're doing in low-light conditions.

Works with plenty of Fusion receivers

This remote works with a healthy array of Fusion marine products, including the 70 Series, 755 Series, StereoActive, Apollo RA770, Panel-Stereo, MS-BB100 and RV-IN1501. You can pair up to eight remotes with a compatible Fusion receiver.

The MS-ARX70 is available in your choice of Black or White, so it'll blend right in with your boat's style.

Product Research

Features

ANT Wireless Technology: The Fusion ARX Remote (MS-ARX70) is an ANT wireless stereo remote. ANT is an ultra-low-power (ULP) wireless networking protocol operating in the 2.4GHz band with a wireless range of 33'. Able to interface with compatible Fusion stereos, the ARX Remote can control playback in up to four audio zones.

Compatibility: The Fusion ARX Remote (MS-ARX70) can be used with a variety of Fusion ANT-enabled products including the 70 Series, 755 Series, StereoActive, Apollo RA770, Panel-Stereo, Panel-Stereo Outdoor, and MS-BB100. You will need to place your compatible Fusion marine stereo in Bluetooth discoverable mode to pair and connect with the ARX Remote. Specific compatible models include -

  • MS-RA60, MS-RA210
  • MS-RA70, MS-RA70N, MS-RA70NSX
  • MS-AV755, MS-UD755
  • MS-BB100
  • MS-RA670, MS-RA770
  • WS-SA150 (StereoActive)
  • PS-A302 (Panel-Stereo)
  • RV-IN1501

Notes:

  • Some Fusion stereos may require a firmware/software update to enable functionality with the ARX Remote ((MS-ARX70).
  • Up to eight of these remotes can be paired to one of Fusion stereo, but only one can be connected and used at a time.

Controls: The ARX Remote (MS-ARX70) can interface with compatible Fusions stereos and act as a media controller for a single zone at one time, with the ability to cycle through 4 independent audio zones for global control. Multiple ARX Remotes can be installed across the boat with one or more in each zone giving your even more control options. The rubberized tactile buttons make the ARX Remote easy to use, even in wet conditions. LED lighting in the light bar makes using the ARX Remote easy by providing essential user feedback as you control your audio entertainment. Controls include -

  • Play/Pause
  • Mute/Un-Mute
  • Volume Up/Down (global volume control for each Zone)
  • Zone & Source Selection (same audio source is played in each Zone)
  • Radio Station Tuning
  • Previous/Next Song Selection 
 Note: The remote will not be able to change the volume of connected PartyBus Fusion stereos.

UV & Water Resistant: The Fusion ARX Remote (MS-ARX70) is UV stable and rated both IPX6 and IPX7 water resistant (withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1m for up to 30 minutes and is protected against powerful jets of water). This makes it ideal for mounting on the swim platform, bow or transom of your boat, with peace of mind that the remote is built to last wherever it is on board.

Mounting Options: The compact, low profile design makes the ARX Remote easy to fit in many different areas. Fitted with high bonding tape, the Fusion ARX Remote (MS-ARX70) is quick and easy to mount in almost any location. Stick the remote where it is most convenient, whether it is the swim platform, bow, transom, cabin, or all of the above, for endless options when it comes to remote placement.

  • Diameter: 2.5625"
  • Depth: 0.4375"
Note: No drilling or cutout required.

Battery Operated: The Fusion ARX Remote (MS-ARX70) is powered by a single CR2032 3V battery (pre-installed and user replaceable). The battery should last approximately 3 years with typical use.

Available Colors: Available in both black and white finishes, you can choose the color to suit your vessel, for discreet remote placement.

Unfortunately not.
[ Brooke  Nov 15, 2022 ]  Staff
Q
Does this work with the UD-650?
[ Michael  Mar 13, 2021 ]
1 answer
A
I believe you are referring to the MS-UD650 receiver which does not support ANT technology and will not work with this remote. We may have a receiver similar to the MS-UD650 that can work with this remote and I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to check our current inventory
[ JASON  Mar 28, 2021 ]  Staff
Q
Hello, I currently have a Fusion BT-100 Marine Bluetooth adapter To enable Bluetooth capability on my radio. Will this remote act as a Bluetooth adapter and a remote at the same time, or will I still need the MS-100?
[ JUAN  Mar 10, 2021 ]
1 answer
A
The Fusion MS-ARX70B is a remote only. It does pair to the radio via Bluetooth, however it does not give your radio Bluetooth capability. You will still need the MS-100.
[ ALLISON  Mar 27, 2021 ]  Staff
Q
Can this remote control just one zone or does an action impact the other zones as well? For example, if you only want to turn down the volume in the zone on the front of the boat without impacting the volume in any other zones on the boat.
[ JOANN  Dec 17, 2020 ]
5 answers
A
You can set it to the 1 zone you want to control. I think you can set it for all zones too. But you cannot switch between the zones.
[ JEFF  Dec 17, 2020 ]
A
Not sure where this string started but my head unit is AV755 ifvthat matters.
[ STEWART  Dec 17, 2020 ]
A
Whatever individual zone volumes are set from head unit are proportionally affected by remote. The remotes are nice and can be put in pocket to operate from away from boat while on dock.
[ STEWART  Dec 17, 2020 ]
A
You can select what zone you want it to control.
[ Chris  Dec 17, 2020 ]
A
It impacts all the zones how ever you have them set up on the radio unit.
[ Rick  Dec 17, 2020 ]

I believe it should but this remote has issues staying connected to the head unit. It is only about 4 feet from the head unit which is behind a thin door but it doesn't stay connected via blue tooth.

Q
Is this remote compatible with the Fusion srx-400 stereo?
[ FRED  May 28, 2020 ]

I can't say for sure. It does work with the Fusion MS-RA770 Apollo Series. I don't see why not if the radio has Bluetooth capability.

[ Stephen  Feb 17, 2020 ]

Hi Steve, thank you for your question. We do not show that the MS-ARX70B remote will be compatible with the MS-UD750 receiver. Feel free to chat with us online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695, an Advisor will be happy to check options of remotes that would be compatible with that receiver.

[ CHRIS  Oct 31, 2019 ]

It will not control the music selection or playback functions from a bluetooth device. It will control the radio, but not the phone or tablet that is streaming the music.
[ Thomas  Nov 08, 2019 ]  Staff
A
Not sure but I used it with the Apollo ra770 and works great. Look for the user manual. In there it talks about which radios is works with. Has to have ANT wireless technology built into the radio head unit.

Q

[ CHARLES  Apr 29, 2019 ]

No. This is a "Fusion" remote, made to work with Fusion stereos.
[ JEFF  Apr 30, 2019 ]
A
No. It will only work with the Fusion head unit.
[ Jeffrey  Apr 29, 2019 ]

No. It is for Fusion marine units that support ANT+.

[ Colin  Mar 06, 2019 ]
1 answer
A
No that MS-RA205 is not one of the models we are aware of that works with that wireless Fusion MS-ARX70B remote. The MS-RA70 is a similar model that would work: https://bit.ly/2TFxY0J

Can more than 1 of these remotes be connected to MS RA770 at the same time?
[ William  Jan 30, 2019 ]

I think so as no pairing was required for the one I have. Plan on buying another and this is a reminder to do so.
[ STEWART  Dec 17, 2020 ]

Q
Will this remote work with a MS-RA210 receiver?
[ LARRY  May 18, 2021 ]

Is the the MS-RA210 blue tooth capable? If it is my guess would yes. If not blue tooth capable my guess would be no.
[ JEFF  May 18, 2021 ]
A
Yes it should. This is designed to be compatible with most Fusion receivers. We have the 770 and actually have 2 of these and have never had a problem with them. Hope this helps!
[ STEPHANE  May 18, 2021 ]
A
Yes, I have two connected to mine.
[ MICHAEL K  May 18, 2021 ]
Q
Is there an option to screw this to the hull as well?
[ Andrew  Aug 14, 2020 ]
4 answers
A
You dont need to screw they come with a glue pad.and is very useful
[ OMAR  Sep 01, 2020 ]
A
I don't remember if there was a screw on option, but I have two of them stuck in different places and they have not moved. I think you would be happy with the stick on option in most applications.
[ Scott  Aug 31, 2020 ]
A
You will not need to screw this to the hull. The adhesive for the base is very strong. Also, the remote can be removed from the base with 1/4 turn and carried probably at least 50' from the radio and it will still control it.
[ David  Aug 31, 2020 ]
A
No. It's got a base with 2 sided tape. However you can remove the remote from base if you want. I have 3 of them in my boat. Love them
[ JIM  Aug 31, 2020 ]
Q
Does the head unit have to be line of sight for this remote to work? Could the head unit be inside of glove box and this remote still control it?
[ Patrick  Mar 10, 2020 ]
4 answers
A
It does not need to be line of sight. My head unit is at least 15ft away in the boat cabin.
[ Jeremy  Mar 10, 2020 ]
A
The head unit does not have to be in line of sight. I have my head unit installed in a pontoon boat and use 2 of these remotes. One of the remotes has no line of sight and it works just fine.
[ STEVE  Mar 10, 2020 ]
A
My head unit is in glove box above remote and not in line of site. Always works perfectly.
[ Lyle  Mar 10, 2020 ]
A
The remote works via Bluetooth and doesn't need to be in direct line of sight to work. As for the head unit still receiving while inside a closed box that would depend on a number of factors including how close the remote is to the unit and how sealed the box is as well. Overall I am very please with these remotes and have purchased multiple for a variety of applications, they've proven to be quite capable units.
[ John  Mar 10, 2020 ]
Q
Can I still pair by phone to the head unit along w/ the remote? Or can only one device be paired to the head unit via bluetooth?
[ KEVIN M  Jul 31, 2019 ]
7 answers
A
Multiple remotes can be paired at the same time as a mobile device. Currently running that exact set up and works great!
[ John  Aug 01, 2019 ]
A
Yes, you can have both
[ Craig  Jul 31, 2019 ]
A
yes both can be paired at least it is working for me
[ SHANNON M  Jul 31, 2019 ]
A
I have my cell phone hooked up via blue tooth and/or the Fusion App and the remote still works to adjust volume and skip and pause. So I believe the answer is yes. Very happy with the device as my boat is a center console and I am constantly adjusting volume as we start, adjust throttle speed and stop. Much easier to adjust with this device rather than the head unit which is in overhead console or my phone which I can never find. Best of luck, Lyle
[ Lyle  Jul 31, 2019 ]
A
Yes, i was able to connect both at the same time and control the system with either.
[ Steven  Jul 31, 2019 ]
A
Yes you can use your phone and remotes at the same time.
[ Ethan  Jul 31, 2019 ]
A
Yes you can connect via the fusion app on phone or with remotes
[ JIM  Jul 31, 2019 ]
Q
Will this remote work with my MS-AV 750 ?
[ Barry  Mar 16, 2019 ]
1 answer
A
Yes it will work. The only thing is that this unit is tiny compared to older model remotes. If you have a pre existing hole you may need to do something because it will be too big for this model.
