same problem with my boat can't connect true Bluetooth with my phone, sxm radio option non functional, the whole screen is freezing up you need to restart the boat with a key to work.
Warning : keep the tow rope away from your boat, it will suck up and you'll basically done ( do not attempt reverse trick you will damage more) , ask me how i know, so no clean out plugs is a problem, and i think chapparel is misleading people with they're advertisement that no plugs no issue , i think its a down side

(B) DRIVE SHAFT SLEEVE
Helps prevent the problem of debris, tow ropes and weeds becoming entangled with the drive shaft. Rivals can only try to fix the problem after it occurs.
Boat is at the dealer right now, for two weeks undergoing sucked in rope damage, was told all my problems will be addressed, as well as my medallion unit , as soon as I know what was the glitch I will update you.

Does any one know what can be done to reduce tower vibration / banging when going over the wake in the turns at speed.
I would say 30ml it starts banging agains the haule of the boat. Thinking to put some foam in between .

@Bryan mazanec - somewhere, I found a link to our radio's manual and I know I saved the link, but can not find it anywhere. i'll keep looking. But, I know to sync a phone to the radio, you press and hold the middle of the large main dial on the radio (the unit in the "glove box"). Have your phone in discoverable mode and the radio should find sync up. I just did this a couple weeks ago, when I got a new iphone. real fast. I'll see if I can find that link though to the radio manual and share it here.

Yes a 2016 203 VRX. Viper unit is for the Medallion system which I also have. The manual I posted is for the radio unit under the "glove box" on port side.
Thanks we are having fun with it. My dealer did about an hour walk through at the showroom and he went with us for another hour on water. The vortex website has owner manual for download. Did you get a DVD in the chap bag?

My medallion unit will be replaced some times in the future , medallion system is on a back order nationwide , so maybe after this boating season. I have a feeling chaparral pushing them out so they can make a sale

Yeah, I am not impressed with it or maybe don't know how to use it. When navigating, the screen doesn't more as the boat moves off the screen, you have to move the view manually.
