Can you replace the xtl5000 radio inside an xtl5000 consolette with an APX6500 radio? If it is possible could you existing tone remotes with it too?

No, because Astro/XTL consolette controller boards ride on the SB9600 control head bus, which the APX does not support. APX consolette controllers use CANbus.

Basic E&M wiring direct to an APX mobile is possible, but not channel steering.
