VX 2200 radio install in 2015 900-S

Hey gents,

Thinking about purchasing the VX 2200 in my 900s. So my question is has anyone installed just the radio in the center glove box below the speedo? I have seen a picture of both radio and intercom system installed in a 1000, but I am just interested in installing just the radio, and I am not sure how it was mounted inside the glove box? if anyone has any pictures they would be great as well. Thanks!!

Rugged radios wireless music interface Bluetooth help

I am having trouble getting this to work properly. I am aware that rugged recommends installing a switch because the Bluetooth requires constant power but in playing around with it I can keep it to work consistently. Also I don’t understand why this won’t run off the ACC hub from the front of a xp 1000. Anyway I would love a diagram and or pictures of someone that has this installed and working how it should.

XP1K Mount Hardware

I am trying to install my intercom and car to car kit this weekend and I am having trouble with bracket hardware. First the opening for the intercom was not wide enough but with some manipulation and hand tongs I was able to rework the metal. Next I went to mount the intercom to the bracket and the hardware supplied does not allow you to do so. So I went up to Lowes thinking I could just get some M6 nuts and shorter screws and reverse hardware but the nuts are too thick and will not fit into the slot. What am I missing here. I am sure its something stupid. I did try calling rugged a little before 4PM but they were already closed. Thanks for any help in advanced I would like to try and get this project competed in the morning.

Suggestions for a intercom and handheld system

What would you recommend? I have a 4 seater 1000 and want to have intercom for the driver and passenger in the front seat. I want the option down the road to maybe add intercom to the rear seats. Also want to be able to use one of your handheld RH-5R to talk to another car while at the dunes. So what would you recommend for my needs? Also I have a stereo installed now in the RZR. Is that going to cause any problems with the voice activated mics? Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah and I don’t need headsets as we all wear helmets when we ride.

Antenna selection

I was browsing YouTube on antennas and came across this video which I wished to share. While it may be a bit beyond the scope of many of the readers on this forum, I found it particularly useful for explaining why different wavelength antennas function the way they do. And how many high quality antennas such as the Laird mobile antennas you sell have such large bandwidths. Meaning the large frequency range you can operate on the antenna without tuning.

I know you guys praise your 1/2 and 5/8 wavelength mobiles because of their Erp or gain, but I actually have experienced better TX/RX with the 1/4 waves, especially in canyons and around obstacles. The WB-1/4-W-HD that you sell is really hard to beat and to be serious, it’s this kind of quality that can mean the difference between life and death.

I highly recommend your radio and antenna systems to anyone looking for serious reliable communications.
