Product features

CANbus Display Interface Module NMEA2K, PMX-8BB Compatible, MFD Control of Audio Functions Including Zone Volume, EQ, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, and USB. Plug and Play.

The Rockford Fosgate PMX-CAN is a CANbus interface module connecting the PMX-8BB marine source unit to Multi-Function Display (MFD) systems using the NMEA2K entertainment standard. Larger marine entertainment systems are typically centred around an MFD unit the PMX-CAN translates NMEA2K commands from the MFD into PMX-8BB controls, enabling full audio management from the helm display without physically accessing the source unit.

Supported functions cover both basic and advanced control: power on/off, input source selection, play/pause, track/tune/seek up/down, master/subwoofer/zone volume, zone source selection and renaming, balance/fade, EQ preset adjustment, and filter frequency adjustment. Source-specific functions are available for radio, Bluetooth, Pandora, SiriusXM, and USB.

Features & Benefits

  • NMEA2K MFD Integration — Enables the helm MFD to become the primary audio control interface — keeping hands on the helm and eyes on the water without reaching to a separately mounted source unit.
  • Full Audio Control from MFD — Not just basic playback — the PMX-CAN exposes zone volume, EQ presets, filter frequency, balance/fade, and source-specific functions (Bluetooth track data, Pandora skipping, SiriusXM channel control, USB browsing) to the MFD interface.
  • Zone Audio Management — Multi-zone systems can have each zone's source and volume controlled independently from the MFD — including zone renaming for custom labelling in the MFD interface.
  • Plug and Play PMX-8BB Connection — Designed for direct connection to the PMX-8BB hideaway digital receiver without additional wiring adaptation.

FAQs

What is NMEA2K (NMEA 2000)? NMEA 2000 is a marine electronics communications standard used by MFD systems from manufacturers including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, and Lowrance. It allows certified marine devices to communicate over a shared backbone network. The PMX-CAN allows the PMX-8BB to appear as a controllable audio device on the NMEA 2000 network.

Which MFD brands and models are compatible? The product description references "select MFD partners" using the NMEA2K entertainment standard. Confirm the specific list of compatible MFD brands and models from the official Rockford Fosgate PMX-CAN product page before purchasing — not all NMEA2K-capable MFDs may support the entertainment control profile.

Does the PMX-CAN work with any Rockford Fosgate marine receiver? The PMX-CAN is confirmed compatible with the PMX-8BB hideaway digital receiver. Confirm compatibility with any other PMX series source units from the official product documentation.

Can I control Bluetooth and SiriusXM through my MFD? Yes — source-specific controls for Bluetooth, SiriusXM, Pandora, and USB are confirmed as available via the PMX-CAN interface.
