Aftermarket Machine IQ Kits – Update

As we explained in a dedicated newsletter here, the global shortage of computer chips resulted in the suspension of factory installation of Machine IQ units.

To offer the most economic and easiest solution, new aftermarket kits were created containing only essential parts.

We would like to remind you that these new “Telematics ready” kits are compatible with Bobcat equipment manufactured after September 2021 with harnesses fitted in production and are not replacements of the previously available aftermarket retrofit Machine IQ kits.
