Product Description
PRYME BT-583APX-V2 Bluetooth Adapter for Motorola APX XE & Compatible XPR Radios
The PRYME BT-583APX-V2 PRYMEBLU® Wireless Adapter adds Bluetooth headset and wireless Push-to-Talk capability to compatible Motorola portable radios. This APX-specific version is designed for Motorola APX XE radio configurations with the protruding antenna mount, where the standard BT-583-V2 Quick Disconnect jack cannot be used.
The adapter is powered directly by the radio and pairs with compatible Bluetooth headsets and supported PRYME wireless accessories. It also includes a built-in PTT button and supports compatible PRYME V2 wireless PTT switches for remote transmit control.

- Supports compatible Bluetooth headsets and wireless audio accessories
- Powered directly by the radio
- Built-in Push-to-Talk button
- Supports compatible PRYME V2 wireless PTT switches

- Designed for radios where the protruding antenna mount interferes with the standard BT-583-V2 QD connector location
Designed for Motorola APX XE Radio Configurations
The BT-583APX-V2 is specifically intended for APX XE-style radio configurations with a protruding antenna mount. PRYME removed the QD jack from this version because the antenna position prevents use of the standard Quick Disconnect connector location found on other BT-583 variants.
If your radio does not have this antenna-clearance issue and you require a PRYME QD connection, verify whether another BT-583 version is more appropriate before ordering.
Wireless Push-to-Talk Support
The adapter includes a built-in PTT button and can also be used with compatible PRYME V2 wireless PTT switches. This allows the transmit control to be positioned in a more convenient location on clothing, equipment, or other gear.
