Rockford Fosgate PMX-1R Full-Function Wired Remote Controller

Overview

If the PMX-0 is your barebones controller… this is the opposite.

The PMX-1R is a full-function wired remote with a real display—built to control your system from anywhere, not just the dash.

What It Is

A remote control with brains.

• 2.7" full-color display
• Full system control (not just volume)
• Designed to pair with PMX source units

This isn’t a radio—it’s your second control point.

What It Actually Does

Think boat, pontoon, or big UTV setup.

• Control music from the swim deck, rear seats, or tower
• Adjust volume, track, and source
• Control zones (front/rear/sub depending on setup)

No walking back to the main head unit.

Key Features

• 2.7" full-color display with auto dimming
• Waterproof rotary knob (real-world usable, even wet hands)
• IPX6 front panel (handles spray, rain, abuse)
• Multi-zone control capability
• Backlit buttons for night use

Compatibility

Works with Rockford PMX source units like:

• PMX-8BB
• PMX-5 / PMX-5CAN
• PMX-3
• PMX-2

👉 Not a standalone unit—you need a compatible PMX radio.

Build & Fitment

• Gauge-style mounting (clean install look)
• Built for marine / outdoor environments
• Rough size: ~3" mounting with extended faceplate

Best Use Cases

• Boats (rear deck control is huge)
• Wake towers / pontoons
• UTVs with rear passengers
• Multi-zone audio systems

What It’s NOT

• Not a radio
• Not Bluetooth
• Not an amp
• Won’t work by itself
