What belongs in a complete UTV communication and navigation setup?
A complete UTV communications setup can combine an intercom for driver-to-passenger conversation, a mobile or handheld radio for vehicle-to-vehicle contact, compatible headsets or helmet kits, an antenna, push-to-talk controls and installation cables. UTV GPS navigation adds trail mapping and route guidance in the cockpit.
Dunes 2 Dezert carries UTV communication systems and off-road navigation equipment from established brands including Rugged Radios, PCI Race Radios, Kenwood, Garmin, Lowrance, Cardo and RAM Mounts. Choose each component around the way you ride, the number of seats and the equipment already installed.
How should I choose UTV communication equipment?
Start with the communication job. Use an intercom for conversation inside one side-by-side, add a radio when separate vehicles need to communicate, and choose headsets or helmet kits that match the intercom connector standard. For navigation, confirm the GPS model, mounting pattern, power connection and available cockpit space before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need both a UTV intercom and a radio?
An intercom handles conversation between occupants in the same vehicle. A two-way radio communicates with other vehicles or a support crew. Many complete UTV communication kits combine both functions.
What is the difference between a mobile radio and a handheld radio?
A mobile radio installs in the vehicle and normally uses an external antenna and vehicle power. A handheld is portable and easier to move between vehicles, but its range and runtime depend on the radio, antenna, terrain and battery.
Can I add GPS navigation to the same UTV cockpit?
Yes. Plan the radio, intercom and GPS mounts together so screens and controls stay visible without interfering with steering, switches or passenger space. Verify all mounts and cables for the exact device and vehicle.
