WHAT'S IN THE BOX

X4400A – Bluetooth + LoRa Antenna

The EX4400A is our latest RF/BLE antenna, designed to dock directly with the HCXG0 or DCX control modules.

  • The onboard Bluetooth antenna integrates with Helix mobile apps.

  • Two multicolor LEDs indicate system and Bluetooth status.

Note: Ensure the antenna is docked to the main module before flashing or configuring the remote start system (G0 or DCX). This ensures the antenna is automatically flashed with the latest firmware during setup.
