JL Audio MM100s

[MikeC]

Will the new JL Audio MM100s head unit sync with the Linc Panoray on a 2017 boat? The Polk head unit is a complete disaster, especially with bluetooth connectivity.

Nautique is supposed to be offering a kit fairly soon to retrofit a '16 or '17 to the MM100. Not sure of the warranty status of it....... but they do know there is an issue, and they will at least be offering the ability to change over.

Right now the MM100 doesn't interface with LINC. I have already changed my head unit, but I just added a helm remote, and use that. I'd rather not use the screen, but will be cool when my LINC is updated and I can use both.

is there an update available yet to use it with LINC?

Just recently installed the MM100s on my 2017 G23, it is working just like factory, Spokane Audio did the work

it works. I had it installed on my '17 GS20. Dealer had to do a software update to Linc.

I would like to put the new jl head unit in my 2015 the polk always has noise I believe its has to do with all the zone control

Don't do it. It doesn't even link to the new boats very well.

Nonsense.

No seriously, I have a 2019 and the JLhead unit USB port will not work consistently with any device. The dealer has had to reset the unit completely. Also the Bluetooth is intermittent. Sometimes the boats link system will connect and other times it says stereo not found. Also several times I have to turn off the batteries and turn everything back on to get the boat to recognize the stereo. And when it does recognize the stereo it simply has features that will not work like volume or zone control or the ability to switch between Bluetooth devices. Very frustrated with what should be a high-quality audio system.

You have a warranty issue. This is very, very different from a "know issue" as you keep saying. There are thousands of Nautiques out here since 2018 with the MM100S headunit and if it had some systemic problem (like the old Polk PA4A) then this forum would know about it.

You need to go back to your dealer and have them warranty out the headunit. If that doesn't fix it, move on to the LINC.
