Connection checklist

What you need

Tablet

Uses the tablet's supported NMEA 2000 connection. Available controls depend on the Fusion model and the data it exposes on the bus.

Dedicated BoatKit device

Uses a dedicated device's configured NMEA 2000 input and can provide the stereo controls to BoatKit displays around the vessel.

Hardware and network

  • A supported Fusion stereo connected to a BoatKit NMEA 2000 input
  • The zones, sources, and tuner hardware that the installation intends to expose

Account or license

No Fusion cloud account is used. SiriusXM source availability still depends on compatible hardware and the vessel's SiriusXM subscription.

Supported Fusion stereos report their state over NMEA 2000 and appear through BoatKit’s shared stereo interface. A stereo item can be placed in a saloon, flybridge, or whole-boat dashboard rather than requiring a separate vendor screen for routine use.

Depending on the equipment, BoatKit can show and control power, active source, mute, playback, and individual zone volume. Track or station details can accompany the controls, along with supported SiriusXM category and station selection when the installed tuner reports them.

Controls require administrator access, and the exact sources, zones, metadata, and actions depend on the stereo and software connected to the bus. SiriusXM use still requires compatible hardware and the vessel’s subscription. BoatKit’s support is independent and does not imply endorsement by Garmin, Fusion, or SiriusXM.
