Marine, Display, & Installation Features

Marine Grade Protection with Life Shield: The MB Quart MDR2.0 digital media receiver meets or exceeds IPX5 requirements for water and dust protection, making it ideal for marine or off-road environments. Rest assured, when you see the MB Quart Life Shield icon, you are choosing a product that is engineered to the highest standards and built to last.

High-Contrast Display: The MB Quart MDR2.0 features a high contrast display that allows easy viewing and control. Regardless of full sun or shade, the display is clearly visible. The front-panel LCD will display source and menu selections, as well as song/artist/album information (no album art) from USB, iPod/iPhone, and Bluetooth devices.

Mounting Options: The compact chassis of the MDR2.0 offers greater installation flexibility and placement options because of its shallow depth, so it fits well in nearly any recreational vehicle's dashboard - motorcycle, UTV/ATV, or watercraft. The MB Quart MDR2.0 requires a rectangular cutout and mounts to the dash or bulkhead with four screws (not included) through the front-panel of the receiver.

• Cutout Dimensions: 7.035" (w) x 2.015" (h) x 4.755" (d)
• Front-Panel Dimensions: 7.595" (w) x 2.365" (h) x 0.8125"
• Screw-Hole Spacing: 7.25" (w) x 1.25" (h) x 1.0"

Note: Even though the MB Quart MDR2.0 has a Single-DIN chassis, it is not designed to work in standard Single-DIN automotive openings because it lacks a mounting sleeve and removable trim-ring; plus mounts with four screws (not included) through the front-panel of the receiver.
