2006 Chaparral 256 ssi Stereo Question
Recently the JBL stereo in my 256 shorted and the controls were no
longer working on the faceplate. I replaced it with a Clarion CMD4.
Everything works great except for the Sirius and 2 wired remotes. The
Clarion has different interfaces than the JBL so they cannot connect.
I think I may to buy a new Sirius controller that is made for the
Clarion but the bigger problem is the remotes. I can easily replace
them with Clarion remotes but the cutouts in the transom and helm are
made for the JBL remotes and it will look very bad if I put round
remotes in rectangular holes! Any suggestions? I was thinking I might
be able to splice the remote wires with the input on the Clarion or
buy new remotes and a new dashboard plate I can but...Any help is much appreciated. |

| My experience with remotes is that they most certainly are not universal. I
doubt that you can simply splice in the old remotes to the clarion head
unit. Can you fashion a backing plate of sorts to cover the old holes to
accomodate the new remotes? As far as the sirius controller, yup, you'll
need a new one for the clarion. --Mike "ianjones" <iantjones@gmail.com> wrote in message |

| You'll probably be ahead of the game by buying a new JBL that is
compatible with the rest of what you have and selling the Clarion on
ebay. I don't know JBL specifically but most of the manufacturers do
share the remotes and satelite controllers among a wide number of
their models. Unless JBL has revamped it all recently. In that case
you may find a used or new old stock JBL on ebay. |
