USB/AUX ADAPTER

MOUNT THE USB & 3.5mm (AUX) DASH ADAPTER

Every machine and more importantly every RZR owner is different. 

With the STAGE Tuned Audio packages, we include a dual 

input dash adapter. This means that no matter how you connect 

your audio system or which RZR you have, you have plenty of 

connections.

STEP 1 – CHOOSE A LOCATION

Select a location for the USB/3.5mm adapter somewhere in the 

vehicle that is accessible, but not too low in the vehicle where 

it can be submerged in deep water. Due to the rubber gaskets 

included for the front and the back of the mount all you need is a 

small smooth surface on which to mount. If you are not installing 

a subwoofer in your system, inside the glove box is a good 

installation location.

STEP 2 – DRILL HOLE

 

Before drilling, check behind the location for adequate depth of at least 2 inches. Drill a 1 inch hole in the 

substrate of your chosen mounting location. 

STEP 3 – MOUNT ADAPTER

After you have drilled the hole in the mounting surface, 

make sure to pull all the wires through the rubber 

grommet with the small “door” for the front. This seals 

the USB and 3.5mm (AUX) input on the front face. 

Additionally, there will be a rubber grommet on the rear of 

the mounting surface, all secured by the large nut as in 

Figure 18-1.

NOTE

 – The large thumb nut only needs to be finger 

tight. Two rubber grommets help the unit seal to the 

mounting surface. 

STEP 4 – CONNECT TO SOURCE

There is a 10 foot (3.0 meters) cable that extends the 

USB and AUX input from your source unit. After mounting 

the adapter as demonstrated in Figure 18-2, run the 

cable to the source unit and connect the USB to the 

source unit connector and the 3.5mm RCA connectors 

to the source unit AUX-1 input. After the TEST & TUNE 

process is complete, zip tie and secure any excess cable 

length.
