Motorola PMPN5045 Mounting Bracket for APX NEXT Vehicular Adapter

Motorola PMPN5045 Mounting Bracket for the APX NEXT Vehicular Adapter

The Motorola PMPN5045 mounting bracket (also listed as PMPN5045A) is the bracket that mounts the Motorola PMPN5044 APX NEXT vehicular adapter inside a vehicle. It holds the adapter in place so your APX NEXT or APX NEXT XE portable radio has a secure, fixed location for charging and use on the road.

Motorola ships the PMPN5045 bracket with the PMPN5044A adapter, so this listing is the one to choose when you need a replacement or an extra bracket for another vehicle.

What Is the Motorola PMPN5045 Used For?

The PMPN5044 vehicular adapter docks your APX NEXT radio in a vehicle, charges its battery, and supports connections for external audio accessories and an antenna. The PMPN5045 is the hardware that fastens the adapter to the vehicle. Fleets use it to:

• Replace a damaged or missing bracket on an existing adapter
• Set up a second vehicle with the same mounting arrangement
• Keep a spare on hand for vehicle changes and re-installs

How the PMPN5045 Is Used

The bracket is installed in the vehicle, and the PMPN5044 adapter mounts to it. Follow Motorola’s installation instructions for the vehicular adapter, and choose a location that keeps the radio easy to reach and clear of airbag zones and driver controls. The adapter itself requires a 12-volt, negative-ground vehicle electrical system.

Batteries for the Adapter This Bracket Mounts

The bracket doesn’t take a battery. The batteries that matter are the ones used in the PMPN5044 adapter it holds. They charge while attached to a compatible radio:

What You Need With the PMPN5045

• The adapter: the Motorola PMPN5044 APX NEXT vehicular adapter. Motorola ships it with a bracket already, so you only need the PMPN5045 separately as a replacement or extra.
• A compatible battery from the table above
• Audio accessories and an antenna, selected for your installation

Alternatives to the PMPN5045

• Need the complete kit? The PMPN5044 vehicular adapter comes with this bracket, so you don’t need to buy the bracket separately.
• Charging only, no docking: the Motorola PMPN4639 vehicle charger is an alternative when charging is your main requirement. Confirm battery revision and installation needs first.
• Using an APX N30 or N50? The PMPN5042 vehicle charger is the vehicle charger for those radios, and its kit includes its own mounting bracket.
• Charging at the station instead: the NNTN9199A single-unit charger, the NNTN9115A six-unit charger, or the PMPN4604 single-unit charger cover desktop charging.

Why Choose the Original PMPN5045?

The bracket holds a docked radio, so fit and strength matter. A genuine Motorola bracket matches the PMPN5044 adapter, which means a secure mount without guesswork from generic hardware.
