XTL/APX control head question (CHIB)

[IAmSixNine]

Helping my boss upgrade from XTL to APX in his vehicles.
He has some 03 and 05 control heads currently on the XLT units.
He has an APX7500 and APX6500 so far. One with 05 control head and one with 07 control head.
He wants to remote mount them and we are finding that the CHIB is not working with the 07 head.
So im guessing the 03 and 05 head use one model / part number for the CHIB and the 07 uses a different one?
With the CHIB he is getting error FL 05 - 94
Can someone help me with the correct part number for the CHIB that will work with the 07 head.
Thanks in advance.

Did you sync the radio and head?

Is your CHIB HLN1468?

There was a firmware change in the head/chib pairing sometime back on the XTL. Try a firmware refresh on the XTLs before switching to APX. If that doesn't work, maybe refresh the APX?

CHIB S/T PHLN1002A KIT No HLN7041A

07 is PMHN4149A S/T PMHN4194B

Im familar with APX portables but never worked with Mobiles.
Ill pass along the syncing radio and head.

The 07 head works fine on the APX but when adding the CHIB it gives the error.
Unless the XTL firmware update also updates firmware in the CHIB?

O7 and O2 heads use a different CHIB than O5's. I will try and find a part number.

Thank you Asmitty0010, great info to know.
ill be eagerly awaiting the info.

the correct CHIB for an APX o2 and o7 head is part #PMUN1057

FYI you can't mix and match control heads, that could be part of your problem

Thanks for the info. Passing along to my boss.

In the APX? You most certainly can do this, especially easy with single head remote mount radios. All you have to do is make sure you map all the appropriate buttons in the separate control head tabs under radio ergonomics. And with multiple control head instances, you can have both O2 and O7 at the same time.

I could be wrong, but you can't mix an O3 with anything else.

This is correct. The O3 is it's own little beast.

I wanted to say thank you to those that took the time to reply and help me with this issue.
Yesterday i ordered PMUN1057 from a local moto dealer for our APX mobile o7 control head.
Thank you and hope everyone had a great weekend.
