The Mercury 8M0143359 Advanced Sound Control Kit gives you that option. It creates a clean interface for a dedicated switch or button so you can adjust Advanced Sound Control on 4.6L V8 Verado AMS engines with one quick press. It’s a small upgrade that makes the helm feel more intuitive, especially when you prefer direct physical controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"588\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"606\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"606\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"718\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"643\"\u003eDedicated Control Interface –\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows a dash-mounted button or switch to adjust Advanced Sound Control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"831\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"751\"\u003e4.6L V8 Verado AMS Ready –\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed specifically for Verado AMS applications using the 4.6L V8 platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"949\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"856\"\u003eOptional Upgrade –\u003c\/strong\u003e Only needed when the helm does not use a Version 9 SmartCraft gauge or VesselView display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"983\"\u003eBypass Display Navigation –\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides sound control without opening menus on SmartCraft or MFDs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1136\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1083\"\u003eClean OEM Integration –\u003c\/strong\u003e Installs neatly into the Verado AMS wiring layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1245\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1171\"\u003eQuick Access Functionality –\u003c\/strong\u003e Lets the operator adjust sound levels with a single dash-mounted input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1301\"\u003eVerado AMS 4.6L V8 engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1304\" data-end=\"1342\"\u003eDash-mounted button or switch inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1390\"\u003eHelms \u003cem data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1360\"\u003ewithout\u003c\/em\u003e Version 9 SmartCraft gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1393\" data-end=\"1443\"\u003eHelms \u003cem data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1408\"\u003ewithout\u003c\/em\u003e VesselView 403 \/ 502 \/ 702 \/ 903\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1529\"\u003eCompatible Simrad and Lowrance displays (when used, this kit is \u003cstrong data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1517\"\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1534\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1572\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1572\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1574\" data-end=\"2045\"\u003eThis kit adds a simple, tactile way to adjust Advanced Sound Control from the helm. Instead of moving through menus on a gauge or multifunction display, you can make changes instantly with a button press. It’s especially helpful on boats where quick adjustments matter—tight docking, early-morning departures, or moments when you just want quieter engine tone without distraction. The installation is clean, and the system blends naturally with the existing AMS controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2050\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2052\" data-end=\"2067\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2052\" data-end=\"2067\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2069\" data-end=\"2484\"\u003eAdvanced Sound Control ties directly into the Verado AMS system, and OEM integration matters. Mercury’s kit uses the correct connectors, logic, and mounting layout the engine expects, ensuring every command is received cleanly. Aftermarket switches or adapters often interfere with AMS communication or fail to register commands consistently. The OEM kit protects reliability while giving you a more intuitive helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2486\" data-end=\"2489\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2491\" data-end=\"2498\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2491\" data-end=\"2498\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2500\" data-end=\"2704\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2500\" data-end=\"2541\"\u003eQ1: When do I actually need this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2541\" data-end=\"2544\"\u003eWhen your Verado AMS 4.6L V8 helm does \u003cem data-start=\"2583\" data-end=\"2588\"\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e use a Version 9 SmartCraft gauge or a VesselView\/Simrad\/Lowrance display that already includes sound-control menus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"2839\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"2758\"\u003eQ2: Does this kit change how the engine behaves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2758\" data-end=\"2761\"\u003eNo. It only gives you a physical control for adjusting Advanced Sound Control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"2977\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"2875\"\u003eQ3: Can I use any dash switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2875\" data-end=\"2878\"\u003eYes, as long as the switch type matches the input requirements and is wired through this interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2979\" data-end=\"3126\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2979\" data-end=\"3038\"\u003eQ4: Does this kit replace anything already on the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3038\" data-end=\"3041\"\u003eNo. It simply adds a dedicated control option for helms without a compatible display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3128\" data-end=\"3279\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3128\" data-end=\"3168\"\u003eQ5: Is installation straightforward?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3168\" data-end=\"3171\"\u003eTypically yes—most of the work involves mounting the switch and plugging the interface into the AMS harness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46935192863011,"sku":"8M0143359","price":208.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/7410\/9475\/files\/PV723709.jpg?v=1720534454","url":"https:\/\/partsvu.com\/fr\/products\/mercury-sound-kit-8m0143359","provider":"PartsVu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
