I was searching for something and noticed Minn Kota is selling motors with alternate pieces such as the Micro remote in some cases instead
Of the ipilot remotes. I am guessing their foreign made parts. The price reflects the difference and there was some deal to buy the correct ones at a later date
There are some that require certain remote to fully operate the units, but it looks like that can be accomplished through the Micro remote
Or the fishfinder or the pedal or APP. I did not dig in deep but might be worth checking out if you need a motor now. On the MK site and there was also an add for My Green Outdoors

Note”: The BT HS seems to be one of the unavailable items as well
