4. Operation
The STINGER SPXRZRDASH2 is a mounting kit and does not have operational functions itself. Its purpose is to securely house a 3-inch gauge-style multimedia radio. Refer to the instruction manual provided with your specific multimedia radio for operational details.
5. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your dash kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the dash kit with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the ASA plastic.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight. Vibrations from vehicle operation can sometimes loosen fasteners.
- Protection: While the ASA plastic is fade-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme UV radiation can still affect its finish over many years. Consider using a UV protectant spray designed for automotive plastics if desired.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues related to the dash kit itself. For issues with the multimedia radio, refer to its specific manual.
- Loose Fit: If the dash kit feels loose after installation, re-check all mounting screws and ensure they are properly tightened. Verify that the kit is correctly seated in the dash opening.
- Gap Around Radio: If there is an unexpected gap between the dash kit and the multimedia radio, ensure the radio is fully seated and secured according to its own installation instructions. Confirm that the radio is a compatible 3-inch gauge-style unit.
- Dash Kit Does Not Fit: Double-check your vehicle's make, model, and year against the compatibility list in Section 2.2. Ensure your RZR is not a TURBO S, Ride Command, or Pro XP model, as these are not compatible.
