Installing GP330B

My current GP320B with nmea 0183 wiring connection has rolled over and the replacement GP330B-0183 is not available for months. Can I just buy a GP330B that comes with the nmea2000 wiring and remove the cable and plug my existing 0183 cable into the unit. Would any adapters be required? If it plugs in would it recognize the 0183 or would I have to change some settings. Thanks
 
No, the GP320B GPS mushroom does not come off the cable. It is hardwired into the unit. The matching connection needed would require the cable designed for the GP330B. One could purchase the 2000 version and then replace the cable with a GP330B/0183 cable because the main sensor is the same for both units. It is the cable that decides if the unit is a 2000 model or an 0183 model.
