The Rugged Radios XPED-696RS-G1-HK is a complete communication kit engineered specifically for the 2024 Polaris Xpedition ADV/XP. This all-in-one system delivers clear in-cab intercom communication, long-range vehicle-to-vehicle radio transmission, Bluetooth audio streaming, and hands-free phone connectivity — all in a clean, factory-style installation made possible by the included custom Rugged Radios UTV mount.
At the heart of this kit is the G1 GMRS 2-Way Mobile Radio, an IP67 waterproof unit built with a high-output amplifier and finely tuned receiver for reliable long-range communication between vehicles or back to base camp. The G1 operates on GMRS frequencies, making it compatible with all GMRS and FRS radios on the same channel — easy to use right out of the box.
Paired with the radio is the RRP696 PLUS Remote Head Intercom. Because interior space is at a premium in the Xpedition, the remote head design tucks the intercom body out of sight while keeping all controls accessible on the rocker-switch remote head. VOX (voice-activated) technology automatically dims music when a passenger speaks, enabling hands-free in-cab conversation without interruption. Bluetooth connectivity lets you pair your smartphone, Polaris Ride Command, GPS, or any Bluetooth device for music and phone calls. Music volume and shuffle can be controlled directly from the intercom faceplate.
Included PTT (push-to-talk) buttons mount to both the steering wheel (driver) and grab bar (passenger), so transmitting to other vehicles is always within reach. An active filter with a power jumper connects to the Polaris pulse bar, ensuring the entire communication system powers on and off with the vehicle.
