Question
How do I change my APX mobile O2 control head from dash to remote mount?
Answer
First determine the model of radio, for conversion kits the radio model is divided into 3 categories. These models have different interfaces or chipsets requiring the correct part numbers to be selected in order to ensure compatibility.:
- APX 8500 Mid power units
- Classic ‘AN’ model APX4500, APX 6500 and all APX7500 Mid power models
- Enhanced ‘BN’ model APX 4500 and APX 6500 models.
In order to convert from dash to remote, a kit must be selected, which includes all the necessary parts: (TIB, CHIB, bracket, power cable, and a control cable/CAN cable), and a length must be chosen below:
