Full-function NMEA 2000 network remote controller with colour LCD display engineered for auxiliary MediaMaster source unit control in marine environments. Product Overview The JL Audio MMR-40 is a NMEA 2000 network controller that delivers complete auxiliary control of MediaMaster source units from helm stations, flybridge positions, or cockpit locations. Featuring a full-colour 2.8-inch LCD display (320×240 resolution) with backlit TFT technology, the MMR-40 automatically recognises host MediaMaster source units and mirrors all controls and screen information for a complete user experience without accessing the main head unit. The weatherproof IP66-rated chassis withstands Australia's harshest marine environments—from tropical Queensland humidity and salt spray to Southern Ocean conditions—making it ideal for offshore fishing vessels, centre console boats, and coastal cruising yachts. Connectivity options provide flexibility for various vessel configurations: integrate directly with existing NMEA 2000 networks using standard cables and connectors, or establish a direct connection between one MMR-40 and one MediaMaster source unit using MMC-PN2K powered network cables to create an isolated stand-alone network. Independent display theme and lighting controls enable optimal visibility regardless of mounting location or host source unit settings. Operating reliably from -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F), the MMR-40 suits Australian boating conditions from alpine lake fishing to tropical offshore adventures, providing professional-grade remote control for vessels requiring helm, flybridge, or tower station audio management. Key Specifications NMEA 2000 network controller for MediaMaster source units Full-colour 2.8-inch LCD display (320×240 resolution) Display type: Colour TFT LCD with backlight Weatherproof IP66 rating (when properly installed) Operating temperature range: -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F) Automatic recognition of host MediaMaster source units Mirrors all host source unit controls and screen information Independent display theme and lighting controls NMEA 2000 Micro-C connector NMEA 2000 LEN: 4 (200mA current draw) Multi-language interface: English Software updates: USB port Dimensions: 118mm (W) × 95mm (H) × 93mm (D) (4.65" × 3.74" × 3.67") Weight: Not specified 3-year manufacturer warranty Connectivity Options: Direct interface with vessel's NMEA 2000 network (requires NMEA 2000 cables and connectors, sold separately) Direct connection with one MediaMaster source unit using MMC-PN2K powered network cables (sold separately, creates isolated stand-alone NMEA 2000 network) Included Accessories: Wired remote controller Mounting hardware Sun cover Documentation Features & Benefits Complete MediaMaster Control from Any LocationThe MMR-40 automatically recognises host MediaMaster source units and mirrors all controls and screen information onto its 2.8-inch colour LCD display. Access full source selection, volume adjustment, track navigation, playlists, radio tuning, and system settings from helm stations, flybridge positions, or cockpit locations without leaving the wheel. Essential for Australian offshore fishing where helm concentration matters, or coastal cruising where flybridge audio control improves safety and convenience. Full-Colour LCD with Independent Display ControlThe 320×240 resolution colour TFT LCD display delivers clear visibility in Australian sunlight with adjustable backlight intensity. Independent display theme and lighting controls operate separately from the host source unit—configure bright display themes for daylight helm visibility while maintaining dimmed cockpit settings, or vice versa. The included sun cover provides additional glare protection for installations exposed to direct overhead Australian sun at anchor or underway in northern latitudes. IP66 Weatherproof ConstructionWhen properly installed, the IP66-rated chassis provides comprehensive protection against powerful water jets from any direction and complete dust ingress prevention. Suitable for exposed helm stations, flybridge installations, centre console boats with minimal weather protection, or tower positions on game fishing vessels. The weatherproof design handles deck washdowns, heavy rain, salt spray, and the demanding conditions of Australian coastal and offshore boating without compromising functionality or reliability. Flexible NMEA 2000 IntegrationTwo connectivity options accommodate various vessel configurations. Vessels with existing NMEA 2000 networks integrate the MMR-40 directly using standard NMEA 2000 cables and connectors—the controller becomes another node on the network backbone alongside chartplotters, instrument displays, and other marine electronics. Alternatively, establish a direct connection between one MMR-40 and one MediaMaster using MMC-PN2K powered network cables to create an isolated, stand-alone NMEA 2000 network—ideal for simple installations without complex network infrastructure. Extreme Temperature OperationThe -20°C to +70°C operating range handles Australian boating conditions from alpine lake fishing in Snowy Mountains winter to tropical offshore in Far North Queensland summer. The robust temperature tolerance ensures reliable operation in enclosed engine rooms during summer heat, exposed tower positions in direct sun, or overnight moored in air-conditioned cabins. Critical for vessels operating across diverse Australian climates from Tasmania to Cape York. Low Current Draw Network DeviceThe NMEA 2000 LEN rating of 4 (200mA current draw) ensures minimal impact on vessel electrical systems. The low power consumption suits vessels with limited battery capacity, solar-powered electrical systems, or complex NMEA 2000 networks with multiple devices. Essential for extended offshore passages, remote anchorages, or multi-day fishing trips where electrical conservation matters and every milliamp counts toward operational battery runtime. USB Software UpdatesThe USB 2.0 port enables software updates to maintain compatibility with evolving MediaMaster firmware, add new features, or resolve operational issues. The update capability extends product lifespan and ensures the MMR-40 remains compatible with future MediaMaster enhancements. Updates can be performed dockside or at anchor using laptop computers, eliminating the need for factory service or dealer visits for firmware maintenance.

Multi-Zone technology allows you to create four completely independent audio zones throughout your vessel, each capable of playing different sources simultaneously. For example, Zone 1 (helm) plays AM/FM radio, Zone 2 (cockpit) streams Bluetooth from a phone, Zone 3 (cabin) plays USB music, and Zone 4 (tower speakers) receives auxiliary input—all at the same time with independent volume control per zone. Each zone has dedicated left/right outputs plus a subwoofer output, enabling sophisticated multi-amplifier systems where every zone can have its own amplifier and speakers, including zone-specific bass management. What's required to achieve IP67 waterproof protection? The MM105 control surface achieves IP67 rating when properly installed using the included mounting gasket and following installation instructions. The gasket creates a watertight seal between the unit and mounting surface. All connections must be made correctly with proper wire routing to prevent water intrusion through the rear of the unit. The IP67 rating means the control surface can withstand complete immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes, plus total dust intrusion protection. Proper installation is critical—improper gasket sealing or poor cable routing compromises waterproof protection. Can I use SiriusXM satellite radio with this unit? Yes, the MM105 is SiriusXM-ready, meaning it has a dedicated SiriusXM port and can control SiriusXM satellite radio playback. However, you need three additional items: (1) SiriusXM Connect Vehicle Tuner (sold separately), (2) SiriusXM satellite antenna (sold separately), and (3) active SiriusXM subscription. Once installed and subscribed, you can access all SiriusXM channels with full metadata display and channel control directly from the MM105 interface. SiriusXM is available in the US and Canada only. Do I need external amplifiers or does the MM105 have built-in amplification? The MM105 requires external amplification for all audio outputs. It provides pre-amplifier level RCA outputs (line level) for each zone, not speaker-level outputs. This design is intentional for marine applications where external amplifiers provide superior power, flexibility, and performance. Each zone has left/right RCA outputs plus subwoofer output, connecting to external amplifiers which then drive the speakers. This approach enables proper impedance matching, flexible power distribution, and professional-grade audio quality that built-in amplification cannot match in marine environments. Can I control the MM105 from multiple locations on my boat? The MM105 itself is a single control surface installed in one location (typically the helm). However, when integrated with NMEA 2000 networking, compatible marine displays and multifunction displays (MFDs) throughout the vessel can control the MM105, view playback information, and adjust settings. Additionally, Bluetooth connection allows smartphones to control playback of Bluetooth-streamed content. For vessels requiring multiple physical control locations, consider the MM105-HR (Hideaway Receiver) variant which separates the display from the main unit, enabling custom control panel installations or integration with helm electronics.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

The MM105-HR is controlled through NMEA 2000 networked marine displays such as multifunction displays (MFDs), chartplotters, or compatible helm electronics from brands like Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, and others that support NMEA 2000 audio control. Once connected to the NMEA 2000 network, audio control appears as a menu option on compatible displays, providing full access to source selection, zone control, volume adjustment, and settings. Additionally, Bluetooth-connected smartphones can control playback of Bluetooth-streamed content. This eliminates the need for dedicated head unit space while providing control from multiple locations throughout the vessel. What's the difference between IP66 on the MM105-HR versus IP67 on the standard MM105? IP66 provides protection against powerful water jets and complete dust intrusion, suitable for sheltered mounting locations like electronics compartments or behind access panels where direct water immersion is unlikely but spray/jets may occur. IP67 provides protection against complete water immersion up to 1 meter depth plus dust intrusion, necessary for exposed dash mounting. The MM105-HR's IP66 rating is appropriate for its intended hideaway installation in protected areas, while the dash-mounted MM105 requires IP67 for exposed helm mounting. Both ratings provide excellent protection for their respective installation environments. Where should I mount the MM105-HR in my boat? Ideal mounting locations include electronics compartments behind the helm, storage areas with access panels, under-dash cavities with ventilation, equipment bays with other marine electronics, or custom-built electronics enclosures. Choose locations that provide: (1) IP66 protection from water jets/spray but not complete submersion, (2) adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup, (3) accessibility for USB connections and service, (4) protection from direct sun exposure, and (5) cable routing paths to amplifiers, antenna, and NMEA network. Avoid bilge areas where water immersion may occur, as IP66 does not protect against submersion. Can I use the MM105-HR without NMEA 2000 networking? While possible, it's not recommended. Without NMEA 2000 control, you'd be limited to Bluetooth control for Bluetooth sources only, with no way to access AM/FM radio, USB playback, auxiliary inputs, or system settings. The MM105-HR is specifically designed for integration with NMEA 2000 displays—if you don't have compatible networked displays, consider the standard MM105 with its integrated control surface and display instead. The hideaway receiver model assumes you have existing helm electronics that support NMEA 2000 audio control. Why would I choose the MM105-HR over the standard MM105? Choose the MM105-HR when: (1) you want ultra-clean helm aesthetics without visible head unit bezels, (2) your vessel already has NMEA 2000 compatible displays at the helm, (3) you're building a custom yacht installation with integrated electronics, (4) dash space is limited or fully utilized by navigation electronics, (5) you prefer controlling all systems through unified multifunction displays rather than separate devices, or (6) security is a concern and hiding the source unit deters theft. The MM105-HR provides identical audio functionality to the standard MM105 but prioritizes integration and aesthetics over standalone operation.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

A: AMAVW15 compatible with factory amplified systems in equipped Beetle and Tiguan 2015-2016 models with MIB-PQ units. Not all vehicles within these model ranges have factory amplification - amplifier presence depends on trim level and audio package. Vehicles without factory amplification can still use AMAVW15 with audio provided by AM9X receiver's internal 50Wx4 amplifier. Verify specific vehicle's factory amplifier presence before purchase if amplifier retention critical requirement. Contact Frankie's Auto Electrics with vehicle details for amplifier presence verification. Q: What additional components might I need for complete AMAVW15 installation? A: Additional components potentially required: Ignition stabiliser (APIGNSTB) for vehicles with stop-start system preventing power fluctuations affecting head unit operation, and camera retention adaptor (APVVW03) for retaining factory reverse camera. May also need to remove fuse from factory Bluetooth module if phone button operation issues encountered. Not all vehicles require these components - ignition stabiliser needed only for stop-start models, camera adaptor only for factory camera retention. Consult installer or Frankie's Auto Electrics for specific vehicle requirements before installation. Q: Can I install AMAVW15 myself or should I use professional installation? A: Professional installation strongly recommended due to significant complexity including dashboard disassembly, multiple harness connections, Infodaptor interface installation requiring camera input connection and vehicle information configuration, steering wheel control setup, potential ignition stabiliser or camera adaptor installation, and possible factory Bluetooth module fuse removal. Infodaptor configuration particularly complex requiring proper connection to camera input and verification of vehicle information display functionality. Professional installers typically complete work in 4-6 hours at $500-800 ensuring proper operation of all retained features including climate display, vehicle menu, parking tones, and factory amplifier.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.
