Welcome aboard, LG. Great to have ya here.😎

Hi. You do not need a pinout. If it is only cut you just have to connect each wire with the responding one. Have Fun.

If ... and I say if, you have someone, a friend, colleague, club member ... who also owns a V3, I'd take a V3. And that is for sharing programs. With a V3 doing this wireless is that easy. THAT was a feature I missed when the V3 software was updated. JMO

Hi @Arthur-Canada. looks like you have answered yourself your question. Disconnecting the meter means loosening two screw connectors and connecting another one. May be that's it. Good Luck 🍀🤞

Hello @DRevel. This will be a good start I think... Welcome aboard. https://www.detectorprospector.com/forum/67-garrett-axiom-forum/

There is a ribbon cable, don't know how many pins, that leads from the electronic box to the display pod. Opening the electronic box (8 screws) shows the connector. Befor disconnecting anything take photos. You'll also see the wires wich lead to the Display pod (p/p and ribbon) are sealed with silicone. The electronic box and the plastic spacer between the box & rod are fixed by 2 rivets and 1 srew, which holds the spacer in position. With a little bit of craftsmanship, you can do it. Only one thing. Be careful opening the display housing. I'd recommend to give it a good warming and then pry the two tabs below the keypad very, very gently. A few days ago I saw this on a different forum. So, maybe this one is for you, too. Wouldn't be that hard to get it matching an DFX/XLT/MXT/ID/IDX. https://www.printables.com/model/1587064-whites-v3i-custom-rod-mods/files

What exactly are you asking for?

Hello @tim la londe. Sounds like you use some lubricant for tightness. Give it a good bath in gasolin, or better denaturated alcohol. Wear gloves and protect your eyes. Rub the o-ring gently in the alcohol. Let it air dry for 24hrs and after that you'll see, it will fit again.

Hmm....

Oh, sorry, I didn't think of that. 😔

Just mentioning . . .

Hi @FeDuke. Welcome aboard. Think you hit the right board. SO, if you had your first hunt with your DFX it would be nice to read about your opinion. Good Luck & Have Fun 👍😎🍀🤞

Good job, @Weird Guy In Park. Are you detecting with them anymore? WTG

Don't want to, do it.

Congrats to your retirement, @vanursepaul. Glad you did it.👍🤞🍀😄
