Garmin Fusion ARX70 Remote

4.5

Best wireless remote for boaters wanting flexible, easy-to-install audio control.

This remote finally untethers your audio controls from the helm, letting you adjust the soundtrack from anywhere on deck. The stick-on installation is a massive win for avoiding messy wiring, though you are trading a permanent, flush-mounted interface for a battery-powered convenience that requires occasional maintenance.

Who it's for

  • Boaters needing reliable gear for wet, saltwater environments
  • Users wanting wireless control from anywhere on the boat
  • Captains preferring flexible, customizable mounting locations

Who should skip it

  • Owners of older stereos or non-Fusion audio systems
  • Users who need visual track data on their remote
  • Buyers who prefer rechargeable devices over replaceable batteries
