Rugged Radios 2026 Can-Am Maverick X3 Complete Communication Kit - Bluetooth Intercom & 2-Way Radio (10.25" Touchscreen)
Description
Engineered specifically for the 2026 Can-Am Maverick X3 with the 10.25" touchscreen display, this complete communication kit from Rugged Radios delivers everything you need to stay connected on the trails and beyond. The kit combines a high-performance Bluetooth intercom with a rugged 2-way radio, all mounted via a custom Rugged Radios bracket designed to fit your X3 with a clean, factory-style installation. Whether you're racing, rock crawling, or running wide-open trails, the system keeps your crew in constant contact with long-range vehicle-to-vehicle radio communication.
Built for high-noise, off-road environments, the intercom features VOX music-dimming that automatically drops audio when anyone speaks, so you never miss a word. Bluetooth pairing lets you connect phones and GPS devices for music and calls, while the IP67 waterproof radio housing handles whatever the terrain throws at it. Choose your intercom and radio combination to build the kit that fits your ride and your crew.

FAQ
Do I need a license to use the radio included in this kit?
Yes, a license is required for both radio options. The M1 VHF Business Band radio requires a Business Band (Part 90) license from the FCC, which is typically obtained through a frequency coordinator. The G1 GMRS radio requires a GMRS license from the FCC, which is simple to obtain online and covers your entire household. Contact Rugged Radios at (805) 541-1696 if you have questions about which license applies to your use case.
Are headsets or helmet kits included with this kit?
No, headsets and helmet wiring kits are not included with this communication kit. They must be purchased separately to complete your system. Compatible options include the RUGGED Wired/STX Stereo Helmet Kit, the ULTIMATE Alpha Audio Stereo Headset, and the AlphaBass Carbon Fiber Stereo Headset, among others. These can be added to your order when purchasing this kit.
Will this kit fit my specific 2026 Can-Am Maverick X3 model?
This kit is designed specifically for 2026 Can-Am Maverick X3 models equipped with the 10.25" touchscreen display. Compatible models include the X3 X RS Turbo RR (with or without Smart-Shox), X3 X DS Turbo RR, X3 X RC Turbo RR, the 64-inch trail package with screen/winch/roof, and all top-tier MAX models (X RS/X DS 4-seater) with the 10.25" display. It is NOT compatible with X3 models that do not have the 10.25" touchscreen.
What is the difference between the STX Stereo and the 696 PLUS intercom?
The key difference is audio capability. The STX Stereo Remote Head delivers true stereo music through your headsets for a richer listening experience, making it ideal for riders who enjoy music on long rides. The 696 PLUS Remote Head is a full-featured intercom with Bluetooth and VOX music-dimming - everything you need for clear communication - without the stereo audio upgrade. Both feature remote head designs that keep controls accessible on the rocker switch for a clean install.
Can I program the radio myself, and what software do I need?
Custom programming for the M1 VHF Business Band radio requires RT Systems software, available at rtsystemsinc.com or by calling 800-921-4834. The G1 GMRS radio cannot be programmed outside the GMRS spectrum. If you have programming questions, Rugged Radios support is available at (805) 541-1696, Monday through Friday.
What tube diameter bar mount should I choose for add-on accessories?
Bar mount accessories are available in 1", 1.25", 1.5", 1.75", 1.8", 2", and 2.5" tube diameters. You'll want to measure the roll cage or mounting bar where you plan to install your accessories before selecting a size. The most common tube diameters for Can-Am Maverick X3 roll cages are 1.75" and 2", but this can vary by model year and configuration.
