Re: Hello from Toronto
Liquid, sorry missed your question. It has a USB imput & single plug imput that works for the MP3 player. Don't think it has any output jacks.

For any easy conversion of an older radio to Bluetooth check out a $15 device on amazon called an MPOW. Plugs into front aux jack and pairs to hourly phone. So from captains chair u can control vol and music with your phone

Re: Hello from Toronto
Thanks for the insight gents! Particularly the detail on how to repair / replace the rusty wires on the bimini. May go with the MPOW bluetooth solution too.
Here's a pic with the red bimini opened up. Will try to get more / better shots this weekend.

Re: Hello from Toronto
That is a pretty boat! I have a yellow boot stripe. Not sure a yellow bimini would look as good as your red one. I don't think mine was ever used.
Still looks brand new.
Where in Toronto do you live? I have good friends who live in Oakville and your pic looks very familiar to the river/creek they live on (Sixteen Mile Creek). Same sort of slope from their house down to their lower yard and dock. Was just there at the end of June. Lot's of flooding still at the marina. Their lower yard was underwater for awhile. Old timers say it hasn't flooded like that in 60 years.

Re: Hello from Toronto
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the compliment. Love your 220 too -- navy and yellow is a great combo.
Home is just north of the city in Richmond Hill. Your friends in Oakville are to the west side of the city. Great suburb and nice to be on the water at Sixteen Mile Creek. Yes, the water levels are high this year. Too much damn rain. Seems like we can't go 48 hours without rain and dark skies this summer.
My boat is parked on Lake Muskoka, which is part of a large three lake system that is about two hours to the north. Fantastic freshwater boating, but the season is short -- mid-May to mid-October.

Re: Hello from Toronto
the MP3 player spot is the Headphone jack, or AUX. I just plug in my phone and rip Pandora or Spotify all day. Head unit doesn't mean too much to me at this point as it's just a conduit at this point. Getting the Iphone7 complicated things as it comes with that adapter. You'd be surprised how pissed your wife gets when you ask - "have you seen my Dongle?' for the 100th time.Alaskabound wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 12:11 am Liquid, sorry missed your question.

I don't think it's called a dongle but I like calling it that and everyone knows what I mean when I do.

Re: Hello from Toronto
Now this is cool. Might check it out. Doesn't really matter with my setup as my phone holder is right underneath the head unit but it would limit me fidgeting with my dongle all the time. See above.

Re: Hello from Toronto
Hey that MPOW works great. Have one for an older car radio as well as for my headset while flying. Connects & streams music effortlessly! Love when technology makes our life easier. Kind of a love hate relationship.

Re: Hello from Toronto
Best $15 bucks you'll spend. Range all over boat and no dongle confusion

Re: Hello from Toronto
Apparent the small two pins that brace my Bimini top on the back are missing the smaller pins. Anyone know where I can get some? Not even sure what you call them. Attached photos show where they go and what I think they look like. The regular pins don’t fit so it is something smaller.
