What comes in the kit?
SuperATV includes the heater, defrost hoses and vents, hoses, tubing, clamps, hose pliers, hardware and instructions. The official install guide is linked on this page.
Quick-start flow valve or idle flow pump: which one do I need?
The quick-start flow valve sends all engine coolant to the heater core at low engine temps and cuts warm-up time roughly in half, then opens on its own once the engine is warm. The idle flow pump actively circulates coolant so you get heat in about 30 seconds, even at idle or slow speeds. SuperATV recommends combining them for the fastest heat.
Why SuperATV
SuperATV designs its in-dash heaters around each machine so the unit sits inside the Commander 1000R dash with the defrost hoses routed out of sight. The same In Dash Heater Kit instructions cover the Commander and Maverick in-dash heaters. The heater is backed by SuperATV's 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects to the original purchaser.
Build a Warmer Commander 1000R Cab
Confirm your Commander 1000R model and year in the fitment list, then pair this in-dash heater with a windshield, roof and doors to seal the cab and hold the heat. Add the quick-start flow valve and idle flow pump if you spend a lot of time at idle or low speed.
