Clarion CMD8 1.8-Inch Marine CD-USB-MP3 Receiver

Replaced an older model Clarion on my boat no problems with the installation. Had to buy a new remote cable from 6pin to 8pin new other then that everything works great. One note Clarion customer service is terrible I needed an answer on that cable got a phone number of a local wholesaler who didn't have a clue with a little research found one on Ebay, happy ever after

Nice product delivered when they told me it would be.

I installed this unit to replace the old model. This thing is sweet. The bass is unreal. The Sirrius and Pandora options are great. I would not hesitate to buy this for $200.00 . It retails for a lot more . It sounds beter than the 2k system i my ruck. Thanks again Amazonian's for the 2 day delivery and being there !!!!!!!!!

biggest piece of junk ever made. I have only had this player since October 2015. They say it is for Marine use. I run a fishing charter company and have had this cd player installed in my boat since November 2015. First it started staying on and wouldn't cut off and then finally it went dead in April 2016 and wont turn back on. I have had cd players before and never had one only last this long especially paying so much money for it.

It installed easily, and was a pin for pin replacement for a 13 year old Clarion XMD1, requiring no new wiring. Very clear sound, feeding a 400W Clarion 4 channel Class D amp. My only niggle is that the iPod interface, which works well, isn't particularly intuitive, and a bit slow to respond to some commands. For the money, it's a nice head unit.

2 of them bought....2 of them failed and failed quickly. Nice look and nice features but just not holding up in the marine environment. Will look into fusion.

This is my second Clarion unit. Performance wise this is a great unit.Pros:-Sounds Great-Looks Great-SimpleCons:-Only 6 Station Presets-Sleep/Idle Current Draw (Explained below)-Audio Controls are buried in menus that are someone difficult to get at, why they got rid of simple knobs for bass/treble is beyond me.This unit current draw while Idle (Off) is unacceptable. I've ended up putting a on/off switch in my boat and two Interstate SRM-24 in parallel to combat the current draw (mainly did parallel for run time so I don't have to start the boat after a few hours). When the unit is powered up from no battery power (still hasn't been turned on) it draws 160mA of current. When the unit is turned on and then off it draws 80mA of current. If you disconnect the Illumination lead (orange/white wire) from 12V it will drop down to 40mA. Having the Illumination lead connected to 12V will always keep the lights illuminated when off, if this is wanted I recommend hooking it up to a switch or on the interior light switch. I've ended up just cutting the Illumination lead for now and left it floating (not connected). 40mA sleep current is not acceptable and Clarion should be ashamed this passed QA like this. To put the current draw into perspective a 120 minute reserve capacity battery will be dead in 26 days. With my parallel 280 reserve capacity and cutting the illumination lead I can get 121 days which is still crap but manageable.

Thank you Amazon received in 2 days. Install was a breeze because I replaced my CMD4 so the wiring harness fit right in. Love to control my Ipod with the head unit. I don't miss the fact that there is no blutooth, because there is nothing more reliable than a wired connection. I added the SiriusXM SXV300 tuner and connection was easy.
