The Rugged Radios 696 PLUS Builder Kit is a 2-person UTV intercom system that lets you talk to passengers, connect a two-way radio, take phone calls and stream music. Its upgraded Bluetooth module delivers high-fidelity audio, and the auto music-dimming VOX drops your music the moment someone talks.
Connect a mobile or handheld radio with the built-in jumper cable, then press the included push-to-talk button on the steering wheel or grab bar to talk to other vehicles. Pair a phone, Ride Command or GPS over Bluetooth for calls and navigation prompts, and use the shuffle control on the faceplate. The kit ships with basic mounting brackets.
This 2 person intercom is a Bluetooth intercom at heart and the core of a complete UTV communication system. Rugged Radios intercom kits like this side by side intercom expand to add a radio, helmet kits and rear seats, building out UTV communication for the whole group.
