AUSTRALIAN RELEASE
Now I understand why they got rid of a handfree UHF set, replacing it with this little beauty, at a price (AUD200 RRP). I need it for safety and convenience). For once the model name make sense to me. The new unit is for the XRS series of UHF, using Bluetooth and is version one, hence it is called the XRS-BT1.
Announced in Australia today, on sale in mid October 2023.
From the email I got today, look here.

Introducing the all-new XRS™ Connect Bluetooth® Interface Module and Wireless PTT from GME, the XRS-BT1.
The XRS-BT1 is an interface module bringing full Bluetooth® audio connectivity and wireless PTT (Push-to-Talk) functionality to the full range of XRS™ Connect UHF CB Radios.
Bluetooth® audio connectivity allows the XRS-BT1 to wirelessly connect to an extensive range of third-party audio accessories including headphones, hearing aids, and vehicle stereo systems, providing users with new and improved ways to stay connected.
Included in the kit is an adjustable steering wheel clamp which provides a simple mounting solution for the IP67 wireless PTT button and a wired hands-free microphone with a 1.8 metre cable for easy mounting options.
The PTT clamp design provides access to the battery without the need to remove it from the steering wheel, plus, the PTT button can also be removed from the clamp and mounted to an alternative location using the dash mount kit supplied.
