SiriusXm Infolink receiver from Furono works with Simrad?

[Magnumpl]

Hi. Does anyone know if Furuno and Simrad SiriusXM receiver are interchangeable?
I was planning to get the Simrad/Navico WM-4 receiver for my Simrad NSS Evo3, however the Furuno BBWX4 is cheaper and it's actually on sale at a local store. They look exactly the same, only difference seem to be the network cable. Will the BBWX4 work with Simrad?

It will work, but the Furuno uses an Ethernet (Cat 5) connector on the output to connect to the MFD.

The Navico uses a connector of their own design. Would need to find an adapter to connect the Furunuo to your unit
