If you have ever tried to load a quad onto a trailer using a winch control mounted on the quad, you already understand the problem this solves. The HUB receiver moves the winch controls onto your phone over Bluetooth, giving you up to 100' of working range, so you can stand where you can see the load line up rather than where the wiring happens to reach. This is the powersports version for Warn's VRX, ProVantage and Vantage winches. Unlike the truck and AXON receivers, this one comes with bare pigtail leads, a ring terminal and spade connectors, because those winch families are wired rather than plugged.
What's Included:
Warn HUB wireless receiver module with powersports wiring harness
Ring terminal and spade connector leads
Status LED and pairing button on the module
Warn HUB app, free download for your smart device
Features
Control From Up to 100' Away Bluetooth pairing between the receiver and your smart device gives winch control from up to 100' away. Loading a machine onto a trailer, or pulling one out of a ditch, is far easier when you can stand at the side and watch the load track straight instead of operating from beside the winch.
For Warn VRX, ProVantage and Vantage Winches This is the receiver for Warn's VRX, ProVantage and Vantage powersports winches. Warn builds a separate one for AXON winches and another for truck and SUV winches, and because the connectors differ they are not interchangeable, so the part number matters more here than on most accessories.
Wiring Harness with Ring and Spade Terminals The powersports version ships with bare leads terminating in a ring terminal and spade connectors rather than a moulded plug, which is how the VRX, ProVantage and Vantage control wiring is made up. It is a straightforward job, but it is a wiring job rather than a plug-in one, so budget a little more time than the truck version needs.
Your Existing Control Keeps Working The receiver is added to the winch's control wiring rather than replacing it, so your handlebar or dash-mounted control continues to work. The app is an extra way in, not a swap.
Your Phone Is the Remote The free Warn HUB app makes the phone in your pocket the winch control. Nothing extra to lose off a rack, nothing extra to keep charged, and nothing else competing for space on a machine that has none.
Small Enough to Tuck Away A compact moulded module with a status LED and a pairing button on the face, light enough to secure with cable ties and small enough to hide behind a bumper or under a rack where it stays out of the weather.

Fit guidance: This is an accessory, and matching it to your winch is the only thing that matters. Warn builds three HUB receivers with different harnesses: 103950 for VRX, ProVantage and Vantage winches, 103940 for AXON winches, and 103945 for contactor-controlled truck and SUV winches. They are not interchangeable, because the connectors differ. Note also that this version wires in with ring and spade terminals rather than plugging in, so it is a slightly longer job than the truck and AXON versions. Check the model badge on your winch before ordering, and send us the part number if it is not clear.

Installation
Type: Wire-in to the existing winch control wiring using the supplied ring and spade terminals · Time: About 30 to 45 minutes · Tools: Basic hand tools, cable ties, and a spanner for the ring terminal at the battery or solenoid stud · Difficulty: Easy to intermediate, because this version wires in rather than plugging in
Disconnect the battery before working on the winch wiring. Connect the supplied leads to the winch control circuit as shown in Warn's instructions, using the ring terminal at the stud and the spade connectors on the control wiring, and make sure each connection is fully seated and insulated. Mount the module where it is protected from direct water spray and away from exhaust heat, then cable-tie the harness so nothing hangs into suspension travel, steering or a spinning shaft. Reconnect the battery, download the Warn HUB app, pair using the button on the module, and run the winch in and out under no load before you rely on it.

About Warn
Warn Industries has been building vehicle recovery gear in the Pacific Northwest since 1948, when Arthur Warn started out converting surplus military Jeeps for road use with a locking hub of his own design. The hubs turned into winches, and the winches turned Warn into the name that off-roaders, ranchers, utility fleets and search-and-rescue crews reach for when something has to come out of somewhere it should not be, on four wheels or on many more.
Warn's approach is to treat a winch as a safety device rather than an accessory, and the HUB receiver is that thinking applied to the control side. On a quad or a UTV, where the operator is often working alone, being able to step away from a loaded line and still hold the controls changes how a recovery or a loading job is done. Warn builds a version for each of its winch families rather than one universal box, which is why the connector on this one is specific to the powersports lines.
Prestige Truck is an authorized Warn dealer. Every winch and accessory we sell is new, factory-boxed, covered by the full Warn factory warranty, and supported through Warn's own dealer network.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Which winches does this fit?
Warn lists it for the VRX, ProVantage and Vantage powersports winches. If you have an AXON you need part 103940 instead, and for a truck winch such as a ZEON, VR EVO or Heavyweight you need 103945. The harnesses are different, so ordering the wrong one means it will not connect.
Does this one plug in like the truck version?
No, and this is the main practical difference between the three HUB receivers. The powersports version comes with bare leads ending in a ring terminal and spade connectors, because that is how the VRX, ProVantage and Vantage control wiring is made up. It is still a simple job, but it is a wiring job, so allow around 30 to 45 minutes rather than 15.
Does my handlebar control still work?
Yes. The receiver is added to the control circuit rather than replacing it, so the factory control continues to function exactly as before. The app is an additional way to operate the winch.
How far can I stand from the machine?
Warn rates the Bluetooth link at up to 100'. On a powersports machine that usually means being able to stand beside a trailer ramp or up the bank and watch the load track properly, rather than operating from a fixed position next to the winch.
Is there a battery in the receiver?
No. The module takes power from the machine, and your control device is a phone you are already charging. There is no fob to lose off a rack and no coin cell to replace.
Will it work on a non-Warn winch?
No. The HUB is built around Warn's own control circuits and this part number is specific to the VRX, ProVantage and Vantage families. It is not a universal wireless winch kit and should not be wired into another manufacturer's winch.
