Is there anyway to make this capable of Bluetooth? If not, what Fusion receiver should I update to?

.Do you have Sirius on the boat, if so get the MS-RA70NSX so you can add the Sirius receiver. You can utilize the antenna that's already there with a plug in adapter.
Yes, I will be adding a tv to the helm area. You make a superb point!! Thank y’all so such!!!What you buy depends on what you want to do. I want to be able to have zones that can play their own separate sources, so I’m moving to the Apollo line. It’s a little bit more money, but if you have or will add TVs up to and/or down below, might be something to consider.
If you have the original amps, they are probably getting to the end of their useful life. I’d would as part of this upgrade consider new amps, or plan for them soon. Mine while they worked, had a bad hum problem that we finally diagnosed as failed/leaking components in the amps.
Crutchfield would have your answer. I bought a MBT-RX for my old Clarion and it works just fine. Volume, on/off, remotes, phone, everything works. $35
I have the Clarion XMD1 radio with remote. Were you able to plug and play? Do you have RCA inputs or did you find an RCA to DIN converter? I’m very interested in adding Bluetooth.
The XMD1 does not have an aux input so Bluetooth adapter is not doable. I will go with a Fusion in due time. In the mean time, I bought a Clarion CMD4 on eBay for $75. It was plug and play with the XMD1 and has an aux input. At least we can stream music now and the change over was 10 min.

Thanks for the reply. Was the CMD4 compatible with the M101RC remote? I might go this direction.
