Upgrading from a 05 control head to an APX 07?

[ASI870]

Sorry if I am asking two stupid questions.

1- I have a XTL 5000 with the 05 control head can I update or use the APX 07 control head?

2- I need to obtain a VHF XTL 5000 (low power) for a vehicle and I would perfer to have it with the 05 control head. I am finding radios but they have the older control head. If I buy an older XTL 5000 what do I need to make sure it has to be able to update the control head to the 05.

thanks for the time

1. The O7 head works with APX mobiles only

2. Firmware > R09.00.00 is needed + TIB & CAN cables. BRICK trunion is also different

Motorola has a kit part # H1820 that provides you with everything (hardware wise) to go from a REM MT XTL5000 WX to a REM MT OX mobile

key components are:

TIB FLEX (part # HKN6190C) + PMLM5038E (new face with CAN connectors as opposed to DB-25s)
