GME ACC6160CK In-Car Accessory Kit: Charging, Mount and Antenna in One

The GME ACC6160CK in-car kit: 12V charging cradle, magnetic mount, and magnetic base antenna for TX-series handhelds.

A handheld UHF CB radio is a great tool on its own, but pairing it with a proper in-vehicle setup solves two common problems: keeping it charged during long days on the road or worksite, and getting the best possible range from an external antenna rather than relying on the handheld's built-in aerial. The GME ACC6160CK is a versatile in-car accessory kit built to solve both at once.

// Key Takeaways

  • The ACC6160CK includes a 12V charging cradle, a magnetic handheld mount, and a magnetic base UHF antenna in one kit.
  • It suits GME's TX-series handhelds: TX6150, TX685, TX6155, TX6160, and the current TX6165.
  • It runs on 12-24V DC, so it works in cars, trucks, or heavier machinery, not just light vehicles.
  • The external magnetic antenna genuinely extends range beyond what the handheld's own antenna can manage.
  • Comes with a 1-year warranty on the kit.
01 Β· The Kit

What's Included

The GME ACC6160CK is compatible with the TX6150, TX685, TX6155, TX6160, and the current TX6165, so if you are running any of these handhelds in your vehicle, this kit is worth a look.

01

12V Charging Cradle

BCV013 in-car charging cradle, mounts securely to your dash or console for hands-free charging.

02

Magnetic Mount

MB207HH magnetic handheld mount and mounting bollard, replacing the belt clip for fast, one-handed access.

03

Magnetic Base Antenna

AE4026SMA magnetic base UHF antenna for external mounting, extending range beyond the handheld's own aerial.


02 Β· Who It Suits

Who It Suits

Because it runs on 12-24V DC, the ACC6160CK is not limited to light passenger vehicles. It suits:

  • Fleet, transport, and logistics vehicles.
  • Field service, construction, and utility fleets.
  • Off-road, 4WD, and remote work vehicles.
  • Emergency and patrol dispatch setups.

03 Β· Why It Matters

Why It's Worth Adding

A handheld radio left to run on its own battery all day is one dropped charge away from being useless exactly when you need it. The in-car cradle keeps it topped up without a second thought, while the external magnetic antenna genuinely extends usable range beyond what a handheld's stubby internal aerial can manage on its own.

The bottom line: for a vehicle that runs a TX-series handheld daily, this kit turns a good radio into a properly set up in-vehicle communication tool, for the cost of one accessory rather than three separate purchases.
