Wireless Control and Integration

This Navico remote requires a BT-1 Base Station and a compatible installed autopilot system. It does not include a drive, heading sensor, course computer, or full steering package. Bluetooth communication links the WR10 to the BT-1, while the base station integrates with the vessel’s autopilot network.

Confirm that the selected autopilot computer is compatible and that the BT-1 Base Station is included or already installed. Plan base-station placement within the stated 30 m wireless range, then account for battery replacement, pairing, and remote carrying location. Follow Navico documentation for Bluetooth pairing and system configuration.

Why Choose the Navico WR10 Wireless Pilot Controller

The Navico WR10 Wireless Pilot Controller adds Bluetooth Low Energy remote operation to compatible Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G autopilot systems. Its two-AAA battery supply, BT-1 Base Station link, up-to-30 m range, LED status indicators, handheld and lanyard format, IPX7 rating, and NAC or AC computer compatibility provide buyer-relevant checks for adding wireless autopilot control.

Setup and Network Considerations

Confirm that the vessel has a compatible NAC-1, NAC-2, NAC-3, AC12, or AC42 autopilot computer before selecting the remote. Install or confirm the BT-1 Base Station, verify its autopilot-network connection, and plan its location within the 30 m wireless range. Check the two-AAA battery requirement, pairing process, remote storage method, and existing autopilot configuration before use.
