GME XRS Connect | Top 5 Features

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I personally don't need most of these features but good to know thay are there. Seriously can't fault this unit. Best available so far.

[@Freefall_AU]

Hey Tony, appreciate you guys putting out videos regarding your gear. Just installed the 330C and love the unit. Any chance you can do a video regarding setting up and use of the Zones function. Have tried several times with no luck, both from the app and via the radio.

[@Michael-yt8wj]

Just fitted 2 of these this week. 👌

[@explorebymore]

Great video guys, we love our XRS unit in the Hilux

[@dream.lifestyle]

Can you please include how to set up each CB radio model you guys sell? Im sure this would make it easier for consumers and also better for your sales

[@dperk1757]

I’ve had my XRS 330 for over a year now and I still can’t do much with it. Great radio.. I just need a radio tech on hand to teach me how to use it!

[@stolenpig1]

Fantastic radio, and great your highlighting some of the fantastic features. How about showing us how to perform them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rangeend5773]

Could make a video talking about all the settings and can they do for the TX6500s. Thanks

[@NicholasPyers]

Do you have, or will you offer in the future, a “hand held” walkie-talkie that supports the XRS handset?

[@GMEaus]

Hi Nicholas, we have released the XRS-660 which is our XRS Handheld radio!

[@paulotlc]

In the future will you be able to listen and reply via the app?

[@GMEaus]

Hi Paulo, we are constantly looking at potential upgrades for the XRS radios and apps, and this may be one of them in the future!

[@martialllaw]

still waiting on new videos!! how to's etc would be great

[@FAR_CUE_TOO]

So where are the videos with more info on voice playback and active mute??? 5 months since the release of this one 😩 Also, one gripe I have with location services is the selection box, it would be way more useful if I can dictate the shape of the selection, for example if I’m doing the sandy cape track here in tassie I want to select the area north to south but at the moment I can only select like a 16:9 window so I have to download 3 maps, kind of sucks how the selectable area is so small as well, just to do the north east of Tas is 10 downloads, would hate to plan a trip across the Simpson or the like.

[@davidhuett3579]

I've tried using the bluetooth app that seems to work, however, there doesn't seem to be a button to send it to the radio.

[@GMEaus]

Hi David, check out this video on pairing your radio kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaiuc2OHmJqqhM0

[@glenfilby7637]

Will the updates be free Tony ? FILBZ PORT MAC

[@GMEaus]

Yes the XRS App updates are free!

[@TomHoops04]

If you had a really nice xrs din size uhf I’d definitely buy one

[@GMEaus]

Thanks Thomas, we will provide this feedback to our product development team

[@wilmacockfit9689]

Would you possibly be able to do a video on how to access repeaters through duplex mode for transmitting further. I brought my xrs 330cob specifically for safety out in the bush as I'm by myself a lot, either cutting wood,4wding. So deffs need it to work if I have car issues etc. Would be good to get a better understanding of how to use the repeaters when I need help and can't get anyone in simplex mode. I'm no pro at uhf so I hope this makes sense. Trying my best to learn the it's and out's by watching KZbin and searching internet pages. Regards

[@GMEaus]

Hi, sure, we will release something about this in the coming months

[@SurfnPics]

I have just been searching on the App Store and cant see the GME Locations App. Is this actually available as only the connections app is visible?

[@GMEaus]

Hi mate, they have been merged into one. It is just the XRS Connect app now

[@katiehamilton2080]

Any chance of 330c handset fitting or working for old tx3420 unit?

[@GMEaus]

Hi Katie, unfortunately not. The XRS mics are only compatible with the XRS units.

[@lesjohnson5971]

Just had the XRS-390C installed and found the Bluetooth connection continually crashes or won't connect. I use an Android phone and the installer used his Android with the same issue. Reading the post below GME have a known issue and are not fixing it. Why promote a feature when it doesn't work.

[@GMEaus]

Hi Les, Thanks for reaching out. Please note that there is no known issue regarding the Android XRS at this time. If you are experiencing issues with connecting to your XRS-390C we would recommend contacting our tech support team on [e-mail] and they will be able to assist!

[@lesjohnson5971]

I have sent you a detailed reply email. This issue is commented on in both youtube and play store comments. So I would expect it to be a known issue.

[@GMEaus]

thanks for that@@lesjohnson5971we appreciate your feedback! please note that a number of these may have related to a previous issue that our team resolved.

[@SuperDRAY88]

Hey guys, wanting to buy one of these but have a uniden antenna, are these compatible?

[@GMEaus]

Hi mate, yes they are compatible

[@enga.altuhifi911]

[@GMEaus]

Hi there, We would recommend contacting the team via [e-mail] and they will be able to assist!

[@dgfhszdr]

How many radio updates does GME put out? Is it like 1 a month or less/more? How many so far? Firmware updates are a favourite feature for me! Thanks.

[@GMEaus]

Hi Chris, we release a minimum of 1 major update per year. The first 3 have been Location Service, Voice Playback and Active Mute! We also release minor updates as needed.

[@dream.lifestyle]

Do you can a dealer in Brisbane that sells TX3120SPNP ?

[@GMEaus]

You can find your nearest dealer via our stockist locator via our website!

[@darrenbroadbent7882]

I have just ordered the 330CP UHF... wondering, is it possible to make it a permanent fixture with simply wiring to main battery. Also, can you get extension for the mic / handset?

[@GMEaus]

Hi Darren, yes, you can wire your radio directly to the battery. We recommend adding an additional in-line fuse close to the connection on the battery to protect the wiring. We have a range of microphone extension adaptors, such as the AD008, as well as a range of vehicle-specific pass-through adaptors. Check out www.gme.net.au/au/accessories/ad008/ for more info

[@CJBAKER23]

Hello GME, with the XRS Connect 370 if I was to connect an external speaker e.g. a 5 watt one, would that disable the speaker on the radio panel, I understand that the audio will still come through the remote mic as per usual.

[@GMEaus]

Hi Callum, installing an external speaker to the unit would override and replace the speaker in the unit. The speaker in the unit can be disabled via the radio settings or via the app. Fore more information please check out the instruction manual on our website.

[@jh_au1340]

Can we get a video with the latest firmware and functional updates and a HOWTO use XRS as well please?

[@GMEaus]

Hi mate, we are working on a video for this!

[@jh_au1340]

@@GMEaus hey guys ... any progress on this as yet? Cheers!

[@GMEaus]

@@jh_au1340 Hi Jamie, we have created a 'How To Update your firmware' video which you can view here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4TMi3qjeriFl9E

[@mickgatz214]

Has it got dual watch?...

[@GMEaus]

Hi Mick, yes it does, this was released as part of a feature upgrade in firmware version 1.45

[@bitzel]

Can you tell me why the unit ticks for up to 2 minutes when I turn it off

[@GMEaus]

Hi, this sounds quite unusual. Please contact our service department on 1300 463 463 to discuss further.

[@waynasfamilyadventures147]

Just done a system update on my galaxy s20+ and now the app crashes when I go to open it. Was working great until phone did the update,

[@GMEaus]

Thanks for your feedback regarding our XRS Apps. We are aware of this issue on the Android version and our software team is working on resolving this. Unfortunately it has not been the ‘quick fix’ we had hoped for but we are working on a new and improved version that will address these issues that is due by the end of the month. Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

[@scooterguy9302]

It would help if the actual app worked

[@GMEaus]

Hi mate, what phone os are you using?

[@jasoncaruana8084]

Don't bother buying this radio if you have android 11 , as the APP don't work , so you cant customise it, or do firmware upgrades

[@GMEaus]

Hi Jason, thanks for your feedback regarding our XRS App. We are aware of this issue on the Android version and our software team is working on resolving this. Unfortunately, it has not been the ‘quick fix’ we had hoped for but we are working on a new and improved version that will address these issues that is due shortly.

[@mono0288]

[@jasoncaruana8084]
