Default JBL Marine MR-17 Head Unit replacement

I have a JBL Marine MR-17 Head Unit on my boat that works well and has great sound, but old connectivity technology. I was wondering if there was a replacement head unit that would be plug & play so I can have Bluetooth connectivity? It has an amp and six speakers (four up top and two below) that are new. Also has two remote units (one in dash and one at the swim platform).

I attached some photos of the connections.

Any ideas?

TIA

I found a very cheap Bluetooth / Aux connector which I just ordered and will test. Might be what you are looking for?

Just buy a new head unit with built in bluetooth. I like Fusion stereo's. Even if you bought another JBL, I doubt the connectors would be 'plug and play'.

swapping out stereo's isn't that hard. try and find a manual for the old model so you can work with the wiring diagram of old and new.
