Yes, you just replace the head and connect the coax (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SELECTED CABLE OR TURNED OFF POWER TO THE BOX OF MANY BUTTONS before removing the Batwing.
Then, if you have the wingman added, you can expect much poorer performance from your new antenna.
Suggestion: Before you spend money on the Jack, replace the section of coax that goes from the roof bulkhead connector to the head.. This often "Wears out" as it were.
The Batwing is 3-10 DB more powerful than the Jack depending on the frequency. OR MORE.
