Introducing the all-new XRS™ Connect Bluetooth® Interface Module and Wireless PTT from GME, the XRS-BT1!

The XRS-BT1 is an interface module providing full Bluetooth® audio connectivity and wireless PTT (Push-to-Talk) functionality to the full range of XRS™ Connect UHF CB Radios.

Bluetooth® audio connectivity allows the XRS-BT1 to wirelessly connect to an extensive range of third-party audio accessories including headphones, hearing aids, and vehicle stereo systems, providing users with new and improved ways to stay connected.

Included in the kit is an adjustable steering wheel clamp which provides a simple mounting solution for the IP67 wireless PTT button, and a wired hands-free microphone with a 1.8 metre cable for easy mounting options.

The PTT clamp design provides access to the battery without the need to remove from the steering wheel, plus, the PTT can also be removed from the clamp and mounted to an alternative location using the dash mount kit supplied.

The XRS-BT1 will be available for pre-order from the 8th September 2023, with stock shipping from 16th October 2023.
