I was looking at thefusion 750... it is $100 ish dollars off right now but it is still 599... kinda high but it sure is nice!

Has anyone seen a good deal on a closeout Fusion ip600? I am looking for one even though it is the older model, hoping to get a good deal as I am really just looking for a good unit and don't care about the docking capability. They were on Amazon at a decent price, think it was around 250, but they must have sold through them because now they are all non-Prime sellers and the prices are higher than they were.

@Johmas50 I don't know if there are rules about posting vendors on here if so please remove. I just bought mine for 279 fast shipping and came with bt100. from

I just recently installed this head unit http://www.amazon.com/Dual-AMB600W-Bluetooth-Receiver-Weatherband/dp/B006ZZYKWS . I lake tested it last weekend and I thought it sounded great for the money. The Bluetooth connected no problem to my iPhone and I was able to play iTunes, Pandora, through it with no problems. The remote control is not so great. It works, but you have to have a clear line of site to the head unit and even then it's kind of hit and miss, but if you are running off of Bluetooth who needs the remote anyway. The stock swim deck controller will not work with this unit so you must buy an aftermarket swim deck controller. I have not done that yet. I had to fabricate a face plate for the DIN sleeve to slide into. I just used some 20 gauge sheet metal, painted it black, then set the face plate over the oversized hole using 3M VHB double side tape. The same stuff you use for go pro mounts. Using that tape is like welding the face plate to your boat! The main reason I bought this head unit was for the Bluetooth but also for the ability to dim the face at night. It has 3 brightness settings, so you can really dim the face when running at night.

@2nazt I don't know of any policy against this for the record and thank you for the recommendation. I checked that site out and unfortunately they are sold out of that model.
