UTV Communication System on a Budget

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.พ. 2020
- A communication system in your side by side can make the whole experience more enjoyable for you and your passenegers. Over the past 3 months, we have been working to find an option that's not going to cost $1,000+ but still provide a great experience with the ability to listen to music, and potentially communicate car to car. In this video, Dave gives you an overview of 1 option and introduces 2 others that he will cover in future videos.

We want to thank ( Dune YXZ ) for the Patreon support! If you haven't checked out his channel do so now th-cam.com/users/rhino250rvideos
WOW! Thanks guys!!!
I checked him out...cool stuff!
Brandi Pavese Thank you so much!
Holy cow dunnie !!!! Here i thought u were just a dune guy that lived in his parents basement and watched utube sxs vids all day... now i learn ur a trust fund baby !!!!! Lololololol.
Matthew Lund LOL that’s classic!
I’m running the pack talk system for my enduro and will get one for my wife, when certain parks require helmets, but I’m going to try the headsets out. Great video thanks!
This is awesome! Thanks for making the time to lay it out
Thanx for the heads up! Have been wanting to buy a intercom system for my Yxz but the cost for other systems is just unreal. Saw this last night ordered it this morning. Full system for less than $300 is a SMOKIN' deal :) Really loved the screen shots of the parts.
This!! This is what I’ve been waiting for.
Glad we could help! Keep an eye out for the next 2 vids on the topic. Dave will cover the Bluetooth Communicator's and the option we settled on. -Joe
Good stuff man, I was able to get the rugged radio set up for a good price and super happy with it. Can't wait to see your other set up.
Rugged is good stuff especially if you can catch them on a good sale. Thanks for watching!
Just bought this exact setup and my wife loves it. I couldn’t see spending $800 on the other options. Thanks!!
Awesome!
Thanks so much! Any suggestions for us helmet wearers? Do they make universal in ear headphones with microphones that can easily be swapped out for different codrivers while all wearing helmets?
Thanks so much for your research and sharing it Dave! We would love to have a Rugged Radio intercom and radio set up, but it is SOOOO spendy. For about 2 years we have been using a Sena Bluetooth helmet system. It is far better than yelling at each other, but above 25mph is still hard for me to hear with our open face helmets and the boom microphone out in the wind. I have been lusting over the Rugged behind the head headsets with half helmets. I’m anxious to see the next parts of this comms video series! 👍😎
Great video thanks! One question... with this set up are the headphones working in stereo or mono?
Hey man check out the Flightcom FC 403 or FC 403 M they are panel mount stereo intercoms. they cost $179. the 403 are 2 people with PTT the 403mc are 4 people with PTT.
Been looking for a communication system that works with helmets.... we unfortunately had peeps get hurt not wearing helmets so there is no “” no wearing “”” helmet option ....def be waiting for more info
I've got the same setup. 4 person system
with the module and expansion module. Same headsets. Take black electrical tape and cover the front side of the mic. Do four pieces thick. Take a white maker and make a dot on the side for the mouth side. Also mark which passengers headset they should be wearing. fr, fl, rr, rl. It will block wind noise from the front. It works perfect. 485$ for a 4 person setup.
Can you explain why you need to tape the front side of the mic?
@@Dannytt11 he said for wind noise.
Could you use a Bluetooth adapter used in some pick up trucks to interface your cell phone with? My wife came up with this suggestion, and I think it was pretty good actually!
Great vid thanks! I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a comm system for my RZR - this gives me great ideas. My only question - the headsets you're using, can they be adjusted so the head support (not sure what the correct term is) goes behind your head instead of over your head?
With headsets you either buy over the head or behind the head. You can’t interchange them.
@@DerangedOffRoad OK great thx - appreciate it
what's the decibel reduction on the ear muffs?
Do you need anything else besides the headsets and intercom?
I was thinking about getting the Sena devices. A buddy of mine uses them and likes it. I just havent pulled the trigger on anything yet.
Sena are nice but spendy. The cheaper one I showed for a second will connect with sena from what I understand. Never tried it myself
@@DerangedOffRoad sweet! Thats good to know!
Bad To The Bone Off Road 👍
@@DUNEATV that funny
We are just starting our journey and not big spenders. Is there a headset that works with this set with wearing helmets?
It plugs into an aviation nav/com radio.
Can you use the flightcom system with this headset from Rugged Radio, "Rugged Radios H41-CF Carbon Fiber Behind The Head Two Way Radio Headset with Volume Control Knob and 3.5mm Input Jack for Music / MP3 Players"?
I don't think so. You'll need to use an avaition style headset
Is there a way to install push to talk for this system? Can’t figure out how to without being actually used in an aircraft.
Yeah I'm not sure how to accomplish that. I've moved away from that system so I never figured it out
Good information. To much heavy metal in your younger days?
Too many loud construction sites over too many years.
What was your new headset that has a radio for car to car. Tried Fod Sports yesterday and they are horrible.
Yeah you need to go to the Cardo brand.
www.cardosystems.com/
Is there anyway to connect the Rugged Air RA200 to the FODSPORTS?
Not that I'm aware of. Doesn't mean it's not possible. I just wouldn't have any clue on how to accomplish it
Is there any helmet kits that would work with the flightcom?
I don't know. Next got that far into it before switching up the system to something else
I also ordered a Bluetooth adapter, and the only way I can hear it in the headsets is to unplug the mic jack, and plug in the jack that's wired directly to the box.
Also the volume, and sound quality are terrible, even with the volume turned all the way up on, the phone, the Bluetooth adapter, and the phone.
Hopefully someone can help me out 🤷
Yeah I don't have any help for that. Not sure if anybody has tried it yet. Possibly could be your Bluetooth adapter? For playing music I just plugged my phone inti the audio input jack and it was great
Wait. You can talk to your dogs. No way 😮
So where's the new review?
Coming real soon just getting both cars installed finally right now
what do the cables coming out of the box plug into?
I believe They would plug into the instrument panel in an airplane. They are not used for anything in a utv application
Deranged Off-Road perhaps they can be connected to some form of radio
Looks like they plug into the two way radio in the airplane. act.soneticscorp.com/acton/attachment/41857/f-ec6958ce-3c06-4442-8e2f-e6e37f47ce83/1/-/-/-/-/flightcom-iisx-portable-intercom-user-manual.pdf
The cables go to a radio and you could add an inline push to talk so now you have coms with another sxs.
Teryx4 driver can't hear anyone let alone back seat lol
Can you hear yourself speak?
Yes you can hear yourself speaking through the headsets.
I have a Maverick Sport XMR , my son drives a Polaris RZR 170. We communicate with these www.amazon.ca/s?k=lexin+b4fm&crid=2WOS97J8DRDYT&sprefix=lexin%2Caps%2C195&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_5. The Lexin B4FM are clipped to our full faced MX helmets with speakers and mics installed. Whether he's riding with me or he's in his machine they work awesome. They were a total game changer, especially when he's in his machine. I can give him guidance with out getting out of mine. He can let me know what's happening. No wires, long battery life! LOVE THEM!
“Protect your ears” yet doesn’t wear a helmet? 🤣
It isn’t a motorcycle
