Rugged Radios 696 PLUS Remote Head Intercom System

Engine noise can make conversation between a driver and passenger difficult, while communicating with another vehicle requires a separate radio connection. Universal fit - not built for one specific make or model, so confirm mounting space and wiring on your machine before ordering. The Rugged Radios 696 PLUS UTV intercom system carries in-car conversation and connects to a mobile radio for vehicle-to-vehicle communication. VOX lowers music when passengers speak, while Bluetooth pairs with phones, GPS and other devices.
