i know alot of people have been posting lately about the sony remote and install. I just did mine last week. Here it is step by step. I have a sony 7715 HU, xm, ipod interface(connects2), sony xa-c30 and the new remote.

Took me about an hour and ahalf, and 4 bottles of courage to get the nerve to cut the whole. after that it was about 15 minutes of install. Very simple and the thing is bitchin'. Full text display from ipod, xm or mp3 CD's.

So that remote plugs into the XA-C30, not the remote jack right?

Correct, the only part of the remote that plugs into the HU is a mini plug. I have the remote, connects2, and xm all running into the xa-c30. The remote is constantly recognized no matter what source your HU is turned to.

OK, thanks. So the round remote has a mini-jack and a uni-link cable. I see.

I like it. The only thing that bugs me is that you cannot control the ipod from the ipod itself. Sometimes i like to listen to a certain genre and you cant get to it from the HU. You have to unplug the ipod select the genre and plug it back in. You can however select, artist, playlist, all songs or album from the HU. Just make sure to read the instructuons. It is based off shuffle(all, disc, off) will determine what you are selecting. I heard the PAC has more options and is only about $20 more. If i had to do it over again , i probably would have gotten the PAC. But this works fine and im happy with it.

yes, about 16' of each. I have heard that the unilink cable is not necassary, but you will lose some functions..??????
Looks great. I still to to install mine but I'm having a real hard time getting myself to drill a 3" hole in my boat.

Make a playlist for each genre and your problem is solved. I did this to control my iPod with a remote that does not allow me to change genres, only playlist.
