Fusion MS-RA50, AM/FM/AUX/iPOD-iPHONE/Bluetooth Ready Marine Stereo

Stereo works great! Puts out enough watts for 2 speakers on my flats boat. I use JBL 6 inch marine/waterproof speakers with it. At 47 MPH/5500 RPM, I can crank this thing and hear the music just fine with only 2 speakers.Only gripes are the screen fogs up a little bit after using it most of the day and iPhone integration cable is expensive/doesn't support iPhone 5 or 6. The interface is real easy to use and the slim design is fantastic. The depth on this radio is only 2 inches which is good for cramped dash/consoles.I heard FUSION just got bought by Garmin, so maybe they will update this model and add USB support or bluetooth.

Haven't use it yet. And, maybe I'm an idiot. The wiring "harness" are RCA cables so I'm not sure how I'm going to connect them but looks like I'll have to solder RCA males to the unit. And, it's an odd size (smaller) so I'll have to pick up a new housing. My buds say this is a great unit so I'll deal with it. Super annoying.

Thought it was a great product price value, but this model has a defect that allows humidity into the equipment. Fusion warranty replaced the first radio but few months later same problem happened this time they didn’t back their product. Online many others have had the same issue... I have been emailing back and forth email with them saying that the should have let the client know and give them a credit to maybe upgrade or replace with a newer model that doesn’t have such problems.

This stereo rocks. It powers two 7.5" Alpine speakers on my flats boat without an amp. It's waterproof and has a smaller footprint than a car stereo. Highly recommend.

Still holding up great with everyday use in saltwater environment

Unit does not feature a standard AUX in 3.5mm jack. You must also order a double RCA to 3.5mm jack dongle and use to go from your standard Phone/MP3 audio cable. Does not make for a clean installation.

This stereo does NOT have Bluetooth, but can be upgraded to work with it. I bought a BT module to plug in the back and an iPOD cable which connects to my iPhone. Overall it's great value and quality. My sailboat came with a simple Pioneer car radio. I replaced it with this fusion unit, using a DIN adapter. Quick and easy installation. Really glad I went with this product.

After taking the time to install the RA50 using waterproof disconnects and adhesive lined shrink tubing on all connections, the unit's tuner stopped working after less than an hour of use. The tuner displays 00.00 khz/mhz in both AM/FM and will not respond to tune or preset buttons. Resetting also had no effect. Fusion customer support was unable to offer any solution other than return for warranty service.Also, there is almost no tactile feedback when pressing buttons, especially the volume knob which acts as the "enter" or "select" button. This is bad enough at the dock, but when underway, you can't always be looking at the radio and need positive tactile feedback.Fusion products are not cheap, require proprietary accessories to add features, and lack features that other brands include. What I do like is that they are compact, simple, waterproof and rugged. Hopefully, this DOA radio was a fluke. I will update when I receive the replacement.Update: Replacement unit arrived quickly and works as advertised. This unit does have the same shortcomings detailed above, but if you want a simple radio that will withstand the marine environment, this is a good choice.
