I've run into an issue installing my XPR5550 into my new vehicle using the RMN5065A mic. In the old installation, the mic was connected directly to the front of the radio. The new install includes a separation kit. Due to the location of the radio head, I ordered a PMKN4033A extension cable, which is where my problems start. The mic works great when connected directly to the radio head. However, when I connect it to the extension cable, the only function available is PTT. The Mic buttons do not light up and the radio does not recognize the mic as an IMPRES device upon power up. Connecting the mic directly to the head once again restores functionality.
According to what I've been told, the PMKN4033A is only for use with the RMN5052 and RMN5053 mics and evidently does not support the RMN5065A. I'm guessing that there is a wire or two missing in the pin-out and that's where my problem lies.
Does anyone know of a way to make this work? I did a search and saw reference to an extension cable for the HHCH that had not been released yet. Would that guy resolve my issues, or do I just suck it up and buy an RMN5053 so that I can have my channel up/down buttons? That is the main reason I have the RMN5065A. I don't suppose that one can source a male & female XPR mic connector and roll my own?
Thanks in advance.
