Polaris Ranger Stereo

Add some music to your Polaris Ranger Stereo with one of our custom-built stereo kits.  Installing an audio sound system in your UTV is not as simple as installing one in your car or truck.  Mounting locations and exposure to the elements are two of the most common issues you are faced when installing a unit.  Fortunately, we do have a few options to make this an easy project that will not only look and sound good but will not break the bank.

Choosing the Right Polaris Ranger Stereo System

Whether you’re upgrading your current setup or adding an audio sound system from scratch, here are the key components to consider.

1. Head Units: CD Players or Mechless Digital Media Receivers?

• CD Players: Traditionally, CD players were the go-to option for in-car audio systems. However, when you’re off-roading in a UTV, CD players may not always be the best choice due to the risk of skipping or malfunctioning on rough terrain. That said, modern CD players are designed to handle vibrations better than older models. Most high-quality units on the market today are equipped with features that minimize skipping and improve reliability over bumpy trails.

• Mechless Digital Media Receivers: A more popular choice for off-road vehicles is the mechless receiver. These solid-state units have no moving parts—meaning they don’t have a CD or tape mechanism that could skip, wear out, or break down over time. They’re built to handle the harsh conditions of off-roading. The digital nature of these units also makes them more reliable and durable in the long run. If you're looking for a no-frills, high-performance unit, a mechless receiver is an excellent option.

2. Bluetooth-Enabled Receivers

Bluetooth-enabled receivers have become some of the most popular options for off-road vehicles. A Bluetooth receiver allows you to wirelessly stream music from any Bluetooth-enabled device, such as your Android phone or iPhone. Simply pair your phone with the stereo, and you can listen to music stored on your device or stream your favorite playlists via platforms like Spotify, Pandora, or Apple Music.

One of the major benefits of Bluetooth receivers is their convenience. No more dealing with physical CDs or complicated connections—just pair and go. Whether you're riding down the trail or stopped to enjoy the view, you’ll have full control over your music from your phone or device.

3. Satellite Radio Options

For those who prefer a wider variety of music and programming, satellite radio is another fantastic option. If you’re a fan of SiriusXM, many receivers on the market today are satellite radio ready, meaning you can access your favorite channels no matter where you are.

With a satellite radio receiver, you’ll have access to thousands of stations ranging from music and sports to talk shows and news, ensuring you always have something to listen to on the trail. The ability to access satellite radio in remote areas is one of the best features for off-road enthusiasts who want uninterrupted entertainment during long rides.
