Bluetooth Cellphone to VIC-3 Adapter Is Here!

Post by Augi » Wed Feb 03, 2021 9:20 pm

Hi All,

I've been working on making a better adapter box that uses Bluetooth to connect to the VIC-3 as a replacement for the wired design of five years ago and I've finally completed the prototype. Now I can make calls and listen to music on the go in my HMMWV wirelessly.

If there is interest I'll make a small run for the group.

This box connects to the VIC-3 head unit via a CX-13473 or CX-13489 cable (not included) to the Radio A or Radio B port, the same as the old one. Set your crew box "work" knob the appropriate radio and key your headset to talk.

Here are the new features:

- Bluetooth connectivity to the phone is the obvious one.
- There is now sidetone in your ears when you talk.
- Now other people on the intercom with you can hear your side of the conversation. Previously everyone on the intercom could hear the incoming audio but only the person on the other end of the phone call could hear the outgoing audio.

I will need 1-2 months to manufacture these once I have some interest. The price will be $165 + $15 for USPS flat rate shipping.

For those of you with a VIC-1: I have not tested this with a VIC-1 yet as I no longer have a working example. In the next few weeks I'll see if I can find someone local with one who will let me test it out. I suspect it will work the same as the old box, by connecting it to the J501 connector and setting the crew box to "All". I will follow up when I know more.

Augi

You know I’m in for 2-3 question, can you incorporate this into a VIC-3 Antenna interface box? I have a bout a dozen extra interface boxes available.

Ok, I've got enough interest so I'm going to do the run.

Unfortunately these will NOT work with VIC-1.

I'll contact everyone when they are ready.
