XRS™ Connect Location Services
XRS™ Connect Location Services enables users to send, receive and display their GPS location with each transmission. Combining the power of XRS™ Connect UHF CB radio with the GPS engine and display of a smartphone or tablet, enabled by Bluetooth® Smart technology, XRS™ Connect Location Services creates a whole new world of possibilities for UHF CB radio. Users are also able to send, receive and display a short text ‘status’ on the tail of transmissions, selecting from either pre-defined or user-defined statuses.

XRS™ Connect Location Services offers offline map caching, giving users the option to download and store detailed maps – ensuring accurate map display in areas with no cellular coverage. XRS™ Connect Location Services enables users to log and save an unlimited number of points of interest using the intuitive user interface – perfect for asset mapping on large properties and revisiting those ‘secret’ spots in the 4WD.

XRS™ Connect Location Services displays the user-designated ID or 'tag' of each XRS™ radio within transmission range, allowing easy identification and tracking of multiple users. Create custom groups to easily manage contacts and filter display results.

XRS™ Active Mute
XRS™ Connect Active Mute allows users to manually mute the radio when receiving a phone call to their mobile phone. The XRS™ Connect App is able to detect incoming phone calls and automatically mute the XRS™ Connect radio for the duration of the call, ensuring uninterrupted phone conversations.

XRS™ Connect Active Mute uses smart phone and Bluetooth technology to either mute or lower the XRS™ Connect radio volume automatically when the user makes or receives a phone call. This allows the user to focus on their conversation rather than manually adjusting the volume on the XRS™ Connect radio.

XRS™ Voice Playback
XRS™ Connect Voice Playback, enables users to record all voice transmissions received from other radios. Ideal for noisy cabins or for users who are in and out of their vehicles, this feature makes missing transmissions an issue of the past.

XRS™ Connect Voice Playback records and stores the first 30 seconds of each received transmission, with a total recording time of 12 minutes. This exciting feature is available in every XRS™ Connect model through our XRS™ Connect App.
