XTL/XTS5000 Motorola PMLN5792 Bluetooth Adapter

[toolman60]

Hello,

Anyone have any technical knowledge of these devices. I am curious if they have been proprietorially coded

to only work with the Moto BT devices.

Or are they able to work with any BT device that is same version? And what version of BT does the 4792 use.Looking at maybe getting one to play with a little but would like to try it on headset.

I'm actually dealing with this very issue. So I called and spoke to a very helpful Motorola sales/tech person about this. As he put it, the BT dongle will only pair with the "Mission/Operations Critical Wireless Earpiece" Model number is: NNTN8125 "as he knows it." The guy put me on hold for a bit to confirm with another tech that seemed to agree. I think it has to do with the fact that there is a level of BT encryption preloaded onto each part that makes it only pair with a Motorola device. As I explained it to him, I wanted to pair a motorcycle BT headset with my XTS5000. Keep in mind that there is a 3rd party BT dongle I listed below that might work. Its called the PRYME BLU Bluetooth Dongle Model BT-523. I read some mixed reviews on the performance of this item so I'm still on the fence about ordering it to pair with my motorcycle headset. It had to do with sound quality and range of connectivity. If anyone else has used the Motorola brand BT dongle and had success pairing with a non-Motorola BT item, I'd be interested to hear the results. Hope this helps.

I did a little more digging and apparently the Moto brand dongle is also compatible with the Motorola H300 Bluetooth ear piece. Kinda gives me pause that the Moto brand dongle might work with other headsets since the H300 is a consumer ear piece for cell phones.

The Motorola Bluetooth won’t work with aftermarket Bluetooth earpieces. But I own the pryme Bluetooth adapter and love it. I use it for my car. No sense in having a mobile when I can have my xt2500 Bluetooth hooked up to my Amfm stereo. Sounds great. There isn’t a great distance on it that’s true but I never plan on having the radio very far from the audio source

Thanks for the review on the PRYME BLU... So how good is the sound quality at a close distance? Clear? A little static?
The set up I want to use is My XTS5000 would have the dongle on it and I would pair it with my Motorcycle Bluetooth headset which is a Cardo Freedom 2. I would put the radio in a spot where I can easily access the PTT. The idea is that I could be listening to some tunes or whatever, but when say the wife who is riding with my kids in our car behind me wants to let me know something, she can key up on the other XTS5000 and let me know whatever. And yes.. I know.. why not just use the cell phone.. Well.. what fun would that be???

Here is more or less how the helmet looks with the BT set up...

It’s really good. Now of course you have to pre adjust the volume on the radio so that the volume on the Bluetooth doesn’t sound too muffled. But not really a big deal. What you are you doing it for will work perfectly. My buddy actually uses the same set up that you’re going to use on his bike so yeah. I think you’re going to like it. I hope that helped.
