Rockford Fosgate PMX-1R Punch Marine Full Function Wired Remote 2.7" Display

Rockford Fosgate PMX-1R Punch Marine Full Function Wired Remote Full Control, Wherever You Are on the Water

Product Overview

The Rockford Fosgate PMX-1R is a full-function wired remote controller featuring a 2.7" full-colour TFT display with auto-dimming backlight, designed to work with all PMX series source units. It gives you complete control of your Punch Marine audio system from a second location on your vessel helm, transom, or cabin without needing to reach back to the head unit itself.

IPX6 rated on the front panel and built with a waterproof rotary encoder volume knob, the PMX-1R is engineered to handle the spray and moisture conditions of open Australian waterways. Backlit LED button illumination ensures clear visibility for night operation, while front panel subwoofer level and illumination controls put the most-used adjustments right at your fingertips. Compatible with the PMX-2, PMX-3, PMX-5, PMX-5CAN, and PMX-8BB, the PMX-1R integrates directly into any Punch Marine source unit setup via optional PMX-series extension cables.

Features & Benefits

• 2.7" full-colour TFT display with auto-dimming backlight: The same display quality as the PMX source units, giving you full on-screen information track details, source, volume, and settings at a glance from your secondary control point. Auto-dimming adjusts brightness from full sun to night running automatically.
• IPX6 front panel rating: Protected against powerful water jets from any direction on the front face. Suitable for helm mounting on open boats and powersport applications where direct spray exposure is unavoidable on Australian waterways.
• Waterproof rotary encoder volume knob: Tactile, precise volume control that maintains reliable operation in wet and salt-spray conditions. Far more practical at the helm than touch-only controls when hands are wet or gloved.
• Front panel subwoofer level control: Adjust bass output independently without navigating menus ideal for quickly dialling in the right sound for different conditions, passenger preferences, or music genres on the go.
• Front panel illumination control: Manage display and button brightness directly from the remote, keeping the helm area appropriately lit for day and night use without accessing the head unit.
• Multi-zone control: Manage different audio zones across your vessel from the PMX-1R, expanding the capability of compatible PMX source units for multi-speaker or multi-area marine audio setups.
• Backlit LED button illumination: Clearly visible button labels in low-light and night conditions essential for safe helm operation after dark on Australian waterways.
• Compatible with all PMX source units: Works with the PMX-2, PMX-3, PMX-5, PMX-5CAN, and PMX-8BB. A single remote solution that carries across multiple Rockford Fosgate Punch Marine head unit upgrades.
• SiriusXM compatibility (via PMX-8BB and PMX-5): When paired with a PMX-8BB or PMX-5 source unit, the PMX-1R provides full remote control of SiriusXM satellite radio functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which source units is the PMX-1R compatible with? The PMX-1R is compatible with all Rockford Fosgate PMX series source units, including the PMX-2, PMX-3, PMX-5, PMX-5CAN, and PMX-8BB. Confirm compatibility with your specific unit with your supplier if unsure.

Does the PMX-1R require an extension cable for installation? Yes. A PMX-series extension cable is required to connect the PMX-1R to your source unit and is sold separately. Choose from the PMX10C (approx. 3.0 metres), PMX16C (approx. 4.9 metres), or PMX25C (approx. 7.6 metres) depending on your installation distance.

Is the PMX-1R waterproof enough for open marine use? The PMX-1R front panel is IPX6 rated, protecting against powerful water jets from any direction. It is suitable for helm mounting on open vessels and powersport applications but should not be fully submerged.

Can the PMX-1R control SiriusXM satellite radio? SiriusXM control via the PMX-1R is only available when paired with a PMX-8BB or PMX-5 source unit. It is not supported on the PMX-2 or PMX-3.

What is the difference between the PMX-1R and PMX-0R? The PMX-1R is a full-function wired remote with a 2.7" full-colour display, offering complete source unit control including zone management and subwoofer level. The PMX-0R is a simpler remote without a display. Choose the PMX-1R when full on-screen control at a second location is required.
