Fusion radio flaky & freezing up

[guy48065]

I replaced the old JVC am-fm-cd radio in my 2000 Bayliner with a Fusion MS-RA70 so I could have Bluetooth and a brighter display.
I love this radio but it keeps intermittently freezing on the "Fusion" screen on power-up and I have to pull the fuse to get it to respond again. It will also reset & freeze if I start the engine while listening.

The radio gets power from a fuse panel (factory) that's wired direct to the battery.
Battery is good, voltage at the radio fuse is solid. Problem happens whether running on battery or alternator. Seems to be worse when using Bluetooth.

Is this a known issue with either Fusion or boat power?

its not the boat side if the radio is stuck on a particular screen

call fusions customer support line

It appears like your unit has lost the input DCV regulator.

Before you call fusion measure the voltage at the radio while cranking the motor. if possible hook the radio to a house battery and non the starting batt.

Might try hooking the radio to the house battery rather than a start battery,

OP said power up, as in first powering up the radio. vs start up.
