Rockford Fosgate PMX-3Marine digital media receiver with Bluetooth and camera input

Product details

A gauge-mount design with giant-size features

Rockford Fosgate's PMX-3 digital media receiver isn't just a receiver; it's kind of like a command center. This all-weather powerhouse gives you a remarkable array of entertainment options in a compact package that fits into a standard 3" gauge opening. You can even connect a camera!

Hear it, see it

This small chassis holds a lot of technology. With the PMX-3 in your boat or ATV, you can stream music with built-in Bluetooth connectivity, check weather and news on the AM/FM/WB radio, or connect a music player or thumb drive to the USB input. You can also add a SiriusXM tuner. Whatever you're playing, it's easy to see on the 2.7" TFT color display

Apple or Android

The PMX-3 works with both Apple and Android phones, so you're ready to rock, no matter which type you prefer. Built-in Bluetooth (with Simple Secure Pairing) lets you stream your stored music and you can control your Pandora playlists (direct USB for Apple or Android via Bluetooth), too. You'll also appreciate the rear charging USB and rear AUX inputs.

Pretty sweet sound

Now that you know all the ways you can play music with the PMX-3, you're probably wondering how it's going to sound. Pretty good, we'd say. The built-in amp pumps out plenty of power, and you can tune the sound to suit your tastes with the 7-band equalizer. With two full-range front channels and selectable rear/sub outputs, you can build a pretty nifty system around your PMX-3. And if you add a sub, the front panel control makes it easy to tune your bass.

Ease of use

Piloting a boat or wheeling an ATV down a trail is busy work that demands your attention. That's why the PMX-3 is designed for ease of use. The buttons are easy to read and use, even with gloves on. The white, backlit controls are easy to see, day or night. And it's easy to activate an action or rear-view camera with the external trigger.

Ready for mud and moisture

This receiver is designed for marine and off-road use, with an epoxy-coated circuit board and a durable front panel that's tough enough for pretty much anything you can get into. It's IPX6-rated for water intrusion, so even if you're hosing off your boat or ATV after a fun day in the outdoors, you won't have to worry about the receiver. Salt, fog, dust and sunlight won't hurt it, either, so get out there and enjoy yourself.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
