XTS 2500i rsm help

[WRPI897]

I have a model 3 XTS 2500i that came with the pmmn4038A but from other places I've read that the HMN4112A GPS 2 should work with my radio and I tried it on a model 2 2500 from my fire department and it worked just fine but it won't work at all with my 2500i and I've looked everywhere but I can't figure out why it won't work
Can anyone help me with this please ?

The 2500 needs a certain firmware revision to do the GPS mic

Well that's the thing that I don't really need the GPS function to work I just need the channel selector and buttons to work
And I think ( if flashcode is the same as u was talking about ) the current flashcode is 569018c0178c9 but not for sure that's just what it has on the sticker in the back

I am also new to all of this and I'm learning as I go and have not had the chance to get a computer that can run the cps to get everything working as I want it too

Flascode is the options think of the firware as updates to the operating system

Hi im new to all of the programming stuff and need some advise and info from the veteran Motorola guys. I am looking to get my hands on the CPS software for the APCO 25 ( XTS 2500i and 5000) software so i can reformat my XTS 2500i to use the GPS 2 RSM and reprogram some of the buttons and reactivate some of the functions that was either removed or turned off when the company i bought it from programmed it for me. if anyone can tell me what and how and where to get it from and some things i need to look for or do to get things back on the radio or how to get the RSM to work with my radio it would be greatly appreciated and helpful.
thank you for any input or advise you can provide me and have a great day.
(p.s. my computer is on windows 10 pro 64-bit)

Are you looking for free programming software, system keys or Depot?

Well you won't find it here! To purchase Motorola programming software (CPS or RSS) please visit the Motorola OnLine website to create an account. You will need to telephone Motorola to get the software packages available to your account. Once completed you will be able to download them...

Apparently people just join here and not read the rules. I miss the days where Batlabs was in its prime.

I know having a forum is supposed to help you but just know that asking for Motorola CPS is taboo. Go on eBay and pay slmeone to program it for you or ask someone to program it here for you.

CPS is very difficult to use and if you’ve never used it before the chances of you F’ing something up and possibly being on a system your not supposed to be on is very high.

Can you even get XTS CPS from Moto anymore?
Idk what CPS you are using but "very difficult" isnt how I'd describe XTS CPS.

thanks for the info for some reason they put it inside of this post instead of its own post but yes i know its a bit taboo to ask about cps but if you read back im looking for the proper way to acquire the cps and what i need to look for when programming a uhf version of the XTS 2500i plus theres no way i can program any P25 frequencies because there are none in uhf around me im just trying to reprogram some functions that i originally wanted on the radio but was not put in plus i have been doing alot of research into cps but the RSM programs i can find anything on

It is for a newbie, especially if they can't differentiate between the flash and the firmware. The OP needs help with this, from someone local to him, or someplace he can send it.

not from what i found they have one on there for the newer business band radios but not anything for the XTS or APCO 25 and im at a lost at where it would be found at or if u can still get it anymore

plus i know yall linked the one thread that was about the cps but the info in there is soo old and out of date i dont consider that useful info anymore cause ik the radio hobby has changed alot since then

thank you for the info and yes ur right and im a big tech guy and love learning so i was going to try and get the cps and just do it myself cause a shop that i called in Virginia said they was going to charge me $150 to program it and even then they said theres only certain things that they can do because they dont know how to get RSM to work properly
