On my Fusion MS 600 from on my 345 from 2013 the display went black this spring. I can only see stations on the wired remote in the cockpit on the port side.

Does anybody know a repair facility or a source for the display? I contacted Garmin twice, but did not get a reply.

I was informed that the remote WRC 600 in the cockpit does not work with newer Fusion  models. 
I can buy a newer compatible wire remote, but I am not sure how to change the cable connection.
Running a new cable from the nav station looks as impossible

OLurs has been like this for a while, I did nothing about it until the remote in the cockpit failed as well, now its a struggle to see what is going on.  So I would be interested in an answer too, otherwise its a new system for next year

Hello Mark and Catherine,
so good to hear from you Smile
I contacted Garmin who have bought Fusion some years ago. They have not even responded to my request via their European website. I then tried the distributors in Germany and Switzerland. Nobody want to repair the MS 600 series, but would readily sell an new system for approx 800 €Angry

Here are the facts:
Our remote control only works with the 600 series
Removal of the remote control will leave a 70 mm dia hole in the deck
The new wireless remote controls are 50 mm dia and connect via bluetooth.
The new wireless need a complete new cabling there is no adapter for the old cable and plugs
Changing the pld cable is Pita square! Maybe on your boat it might be easier, remember that the cable comes with plug!

I finally found a used MS-AV 600 on ebay from a seller in the UK at a reasonable price, ordered it.
Installation took less than 30 minutes and EVERYTHING works perfectly like before Hug No new holes , no new cabling.

Good Luck

Frank

Thanks Frank,

I am bidding on one now, and have managed to buy a remote for £30 so hopefully I will be back fully working soon.
