The XP ICONX Remote Control is the advanced wireless control box, or "brain," of the XP ICONX metal detector, sold here on its own. It pairs wirelessly with FMF and HF2 coils and XP headsets, carries 12 search programs (6 factory plus 6 custom), runs up to 11 hours per charge, and is shockproof and waterproof to 16 ft (5 m). Order it as a replacement for a lost or damaged remote, as an upgrade path from the ICON remote, or as the command center of a modular XP build.
Why Choose the XP ICONX Remote Control?
Whether you are hunting relics deep in the forest, combing trashy parks, or wading into the surf, the ICONX delivers precision without cables. Manufactured in France by XP Metal Detectors, it handles seamless, lag-free wireless communication between your coil, remote, and headphones, and its intuitive interface puts XP's deepest program suite in this range at your thumb.
At Serious Detecting, we know durability decides what survives a season. The ICONX is shockproof, all-terrain ready, and submersible to 16 ft, and XP backs it with a 5 year warranty. It is built for the detectorist who hunts hard ground in hard weather and expects the gear to keep up.
