Rugged Radios Polaris General Complete Communication Kit with Bluetooth Intercom and 2-Way Radio
Description
Take your Polaris General to the next level with a complete communication kit engineered specifically for your UTV. This system delivers crystal-clear in-car intercom audio, Bluetooth connectivity, and long-range vehicle-to-vehicle radio communication - all mounted with a custom Rugged Radios mount designed to fit your Polaris General for a clean, factory-style installation. Built to handle high-noise, off-road environments, every component is chosen to keep you connected, entertained, and in control on every ride.
Choose your intercom - the STX Stereo for true stereo music or the 696 PLUS - and pair it with either the M1 VHF Business Band or G1 GMRS waterproof radio. Both radio options are IP67-rated and purpose-built for rugged off-road conditions. Whether you're running trails, overlanding, or racing, this kit gives your crew seamless communication from cab to base camp.
Key Features
- Vehicle-Specific Fit: Custom Rugged Radios mount designed specifically for the Polaris General - achieves a clean, factory-installed look.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Pair phones, GPS units, and other devices for hands-free calls and music streaming directly through the intercom.
- VOX Music Dimming: Audio automatically lowers when any passenger speaks, so you never miss a word on the trail.
- IP67 Waterproof Radio: Both the M1 and G1 radios are fully waterproof and sealed against dust, mud, and stream crossings.
- Long-Range 2-Way Radio: Communicate with other vehicles and base camp at extended range with the included mobile radio and long-range antenna.
- Dual PTT Buttons Included: Driver PTT mounts to the steering wheel; passenger PTT mounts to the grab bar for easy, natural communication.

Radio & Intercom Options - Which to Choose
- STX Stereo Intercom: The premium intercom option, delivering true stereo music through compatible headsets. Includes Bluetooth and VOX music-dimming. Best for riders who want the full audio experience - music, calls, and crystal-clear intercom in stereo.
- 696 PLUS Intercom: A capable, full-featured intercom with Bluetooth and VOX music-dimming. A great value choice for riders who prioritize communication performance and reliability without needing stereo audio output.
- M1 VHF Business Band Radio: Operates on VHF Business Band frequencies. Ideal for off-road parks, commercial operations, or organized groups that use dedicated Business Band channels. A software programmer (sold separately via RT Systems) is required for custom programming.

FAQ
Do I need a license to operate these radios?
Yes - both radio options require a license. The M1 VHF Business Band radio requires a Business Band license from the FCC for legal operation on business frequencies. The G1 GMRS radio requires a GMRS license, which is easy to obtain from the FCC 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 - helmet wiring kits, wired headsets, and pre-wired helmets are not included in the base kit and must be purchased separately to complete your communication system. Rugged Radios offers a range of compatible options including the RUGGED Wired Helmet Kit, the ULTIMATE Alpha Audio Stereo Headset, and the AlphaBass Carbon Fiber Stereo Headset.
What is the difference between the STX Stereo and 696 PLUS intercoms?
Both intercoms include Bluetooth connectivity and VOX music-dimming. The key difference is that the STX Stereo delivers true stereo audio through compatible stereo headsets, making it the better choice if music quality matters to you. The 696 PLUS is a full-featured intercom that handles communication and Bluetooth music well and represents a strong value option for riders focused primarily on intercom performance.
What is the difference between the M1 VHF Business Band and G1 GMRS radios?
The M1 operates on VHF Business Band frequencies, which are typically used by off-road parks, organized groups, and commercial operations. The G1 operates on GMRS frequencies, which overlap with popular FRS/GMRS consumer radios and handheld walkie-talkies - making it easy to communicate with friends and family on the trail. Both are IP67 waterproof and built for off-road use. Note that the G1 cannot be programmed outside the GMRS spectrum.
Does this kit require professional installation?
This kit is designed for DIY installation and includes detailed documentation and resources. It includes vehicle-specific mounts for a clean fit in the Polaris General. Rugged Radios also provides installation guides, quick-start guides, and live expert support Mon-Fri at (805) 541-1696 to walk you through any steps. Many owners with basic mechanical experience install this kit themselves in a few hours.
What does the "Intercom" variant size (1", 1.25", etc.) refer to?
The size options refer to the tube diameter of the roll cage or bar where the antenna bar mount will be installed. Selecting the correct diameter ensures a secure, rattle-free fit on your specific Polaris General's cage tubing. If you are unsure of your cage tube diameter, measure the outer diameter of the roll cage bar where you plan to mount the antenna bracket before ordering.
