Lowrance 000-14973-001 WM-4 Audio Cable, 7 ft
The Lowrance 000-14973-001 is the dedicated 7-foot audio cable for the WM-4 SiriusXM Satellite Weather & Radio Module. It carries the SiriusXM satellite radio audio signal from the WM-4 module to a compatible marine stereo receiver or display audio input, enabling onboard SiriusXM radio playback as part of a complete WM-4 installation.
The WM-4 system uses two separate cables for its two functions: this audio cable for SiriusXM radio output, and the WM-4 Ethernet Adapter Cable (000-14972-001) for satellite weather data delivery to the display. Both are typically required for a full installation.
Key Features
- Dedicated audio output cable for the Lowrance WM-4 SiriusXM module
- 7 ft (approx. 2.1 m) — designed for helm-area routing from WM-4 module to stereo or display audio input
- Carries SiriusXM satellite radio audio — separate from the Ethernet weather data connection
- OEM Lowrance cable — correct connector type for WM-4 audio port
- Required for SiriusXM radio audio playback through the WM-4 system

System Context — WM-4 Two-Cable Installation
A complete WM-4 installation requires both cables:
- This cable (000-14973-001): WM-4 audio port → marine stereo or display audio input — enables SiriusXM radio playback
- 000-14972-001 Ethernet Adapter Cable: WM-4 Ethernet port → compatible Lowrance MFD Ethernet port — delivers satellite weather data and display integration
The WM-4 module is sold separately. Confirm your stereo or display has a compatible audio input before ordering.
Technical Notes
- Does this cable carry weather data? No. Weather data from the WM-4 is delivered via the separate Ethernet Adapter Cable (000-14972-001). This cable handles audio output only.
- Is this a standard audio cable? No. The WM-4 module uses a proprietary connector on the module end. A standard RCA or 3.5 mm audio cable will not connect to the WM-4 audio port. This OEM cable is required.
- What if 7 ft is not long enough? If your WM-4 module and stereo are more than 7 ft apart, plan the installation routing carefully before mounting the module — there is no published Lowrance audio extension cable for this connection. Repositioning the module mount is the recommended solution.
- Do I need both this cable and the Ethernet cable? Yes, for a full WM-4 installation with both weather data and SiriusXM radio audio. If you only need satellite weather data on the display (no audio), only the Ethernet adapter cable is technically required, but most installations use both.

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: The 000-14973-001 is needed when installing a WM-4 system and routing SiriusXM satellite radio audio to a marine stereo at the helm. It’s the most commonly overlooked cable in a WM-4 order — buyers often purchase the Ethernet adapter cable for weather data but forget the audio cable, then find the radio function isn’t connected. Order both cables together with the WM-4 module to avoid a second order.
Common Issues: If SiriusXM radio audio is not playing after installation, confirm this audio cable is connected (not just the Ethernet cable), check that both connectors are fully seated, and verify the stereo or display audio input is set to the correct source. If the WM-4 shows weather data on the display but no audio, the Ethernet cable is working but this audio cable is either missing, disconnected, or routed to the wrong input.
