Overview
The Garmin 010-12506-02 is a fist microphone relocation kit for VHF 210/215 radios that lets you move the mic connection to a more usable spot at the helm. It uses a 3 m cable so the radio chassis can stay mounted behind the dash or inside a console while the fist mic sits where you can reach it quickly.
This is a practical add-on when the radio is installed in a protected location for a cleaner helm layout, but you still want the microphone and controls close at hand for hailing, docking calls, and routine traffic monitoring.
It is intended for the fist microphone connection on compatible Garmin VHF 210/215 installations and is not a universal microphone extension for other radio families.
Key features
- 3 m cable length for flexible routing from the radio mounting location to a remote mic position
- Made to relocate the fist microphone connection on compatible Garmin VHF 210/215 radios
- Helps keep the main radio body installed in a protected spot while keeping the mic accessible at the helm
- Supports cleaner cable management by allowing you to secure the run along existing harness paths
Compatibility and fit
Match this kit to Garmin VHF 210 and VHF 215 fixed-mount radios that use a fist microphone. If your boat has a different Garmin VHF model or a different microphone connector style, verify accessory compatibility before planning the run.
Installation and routing
Plan the cable route before you pull panels. Avoid pinch points, sharp edges, and high-heat areas, and secure the run so it will not chafe as the boat flexes and vibrates.
Place the relocated microphone connection where the handset can hang without interfering with throttles or steering, and where it is less likely to be exposed to direct spray or constant sun.
Use cases on board
This kit is a good match for center consoles, pilothouses, and cruising boats where the radio is mounted out of reach but the operator needs quick access to the microphone while underway. It also suits helm layouts where you want to keep the radio tucked away while still keeping communications within easy reach.
Maintenance and care
During installation, keep connectors clean and keep them dry. As part of seasonal checks, confirm the cable is still supported by its tie-downs and that there is enough slack at the ends to prevent strain when you handle the microphone.
