Description
Icom Remote Mounting Bracket and Face Plate
Optimize the physical layout of your mobile two-way radio setup with this remote front panel separation kit.
The Icom RMK-5 Separation Kit for IC-F5400D is an essential piece of hardware for operators who need to mount their mobile radio transceiver brain in a trunk or under a seat while keeping the control head safely accessible on the vehicle dashboard. Engineered for professional mobile dispatch environments, the Icom RMK-5 allows for highly customized vehicle installations where traditional dashboard space is too limited to accommodate a full one-piece radio chassis.
By utilizing the Icom RMK-5, industrial workers, emergency responders, and transport drivers can configure their communication setup for maximum safety and ergonomic access. Please note that the Icom RMK-5 is strictly a mounting bracket and face plate kit. It does not include the mandatory separation cable—such as the OPC-2364 or OPC-2367—which must be purchased separately based on your required vehicle installation length. Additionally, operators must verify their companion transceiver firmware is updated to version 1.6 or later before installation to ensure complete compatibility.
