Volume knob

[lucky7t]

Is there any way to add a simple volume knob close to driver on my 2013 sante?

I hate the radio volume and how it delays when you push the buttons

There are several options but the best is probably adding an equalizer. Unfortunately this will require you to run your RCA's back and forth across the boat. You might want to consider a boost box that lowers the volume automatically, with my automatic volume controller I don't fuss with the stereo too much. If you have only one RCA input you can add something like a PAC-LC1. You can also use the ipod volume control if you are coming off the headphone jack, that's probably the cheapest/easiest.

I know they make quite a few apps that are supposed to simulate a boost box and raise/lower the volume as boat speed increases/decreases. I haven't tried messing with them yet because I run my iPhone through the charger port/USB but if you are using a headphone jack this might be worth a try. I am pretty skeptical that an app would work well enough but a lot of them are free so it might be worth a try.

If you want an actual knob then I think an EQ is the way to go as Mike suggested.

Audio Cruise app might work through the iPhone proprietary card. I will try to test in my car on the way home tonight. It runs in the background, unlike some of the other Apps.

Buy the Bluetooth adapter for the clarion deck. Use your phone's volume.

That's a good call! Nice thing about this is you can hand the phone to whomever is bitching about your music choice and make them choose the music...

Thank you for all the answers. Ill get the Bluetooth add on this week.

We also listen to Sirius radio and its So frustrating because the volume knob has such a delay.

Fusion Marine. I am replacing the stock clarion driver side remote with Fusion's remote since it has a knob. Also putting one on the transom and replacing the crap Boss head unit that the PO put in with the Fusion IP600 head unit ... Has three zones, put iPod in unit, etc

Have you tried adjusting the auto volume adjust in the linc? Gets it pretty close for idle and cruising for me.

Can I add another transom remote close to driver? I really liked this option in my 07 and 03

Lakerats,
Tried that but different songs have different volume. Plus when we head back to dock it screams and then you go through a two button sequence and then delayed volume as you push the button When i should be watching the lake in front of me.Don't care for this audio system at all.
