PANELS AND DASH DISASSEMBLY (RZR3)
G. Remove the factory dash pocket by first extracting the 10mm bolt on the
dash frame (G1). Then pull out the dash pocket with the bracket attached (G2)
–
NOTE this bracket will no longer be used for any part of this
installation. Save this screw as it will be used later during the amp plate
installation. Extract (2) screws securing the sub dash (G3). Unsnap and
remove.
H. Remove all of the center console push pins and T-30 Torx screws. For 4-seat models, disconnect the harness attached to the 12v accessory socket.
I. Remove the glovebox by removing (2) 10mm screws.
A. For ease of installation, remove all seats by releasing the handle behind each seat, and push forward slightly while lifting up.
B. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery.

Some RZR models come with the ground “GND” terminal not connected as shown. If you do not have factory wiring going to this terminal, add a ground wire from the “GND” terminal to the frame before connecting the wires. We recommend removing the paint to bare metal, using a star washer, and repainting over the connection.
D. Feed the connector end of the Amp power wire through the center console to the other side of the firewall (D1). Then feed the power wire through the grommet hole (D2) and through the rubber grommet with the rest of the vehicle’s wiring and cables (D3). Do the same for the 2nd Amp power & rear speaker wire.

If you do not have factory wiring going to this terminal, add a ground wire from the “GND” terminal to the frame before connecting the wires. We recommend removing the paint to bare metal, using a star washer, and repainting over the connection.
G. Run the (RED) Power and (BLACK) Ground wire of the USB/Aux input port to the Bus Bar. Unscrew the nut on the first position terminal (accessory) and attach the (RED) Power wire. Re-screw on the nut. Then unscrew the nut on the second position terminal and attach the (BLACK) Ground wire. Re-screw on the nut.
DASH KIT FOR MRB3 (RZR3)
A. Take the MRB3 Remote and pass the din cable through the dash kit panel.
Once the MRB3 remote is laying flat on the dash panel pass (2) M3 Screws
through the remote and kit panel. Flip the kit around and use (2) M3 washers
and (2) M3 Nuts to secure the MRB3 down into position.
Do not over-tighten the nuts, this can cause damage to the dash kit panel.
B. Loosley assemble the top mounting bracket to the dash kit panel using (2) M3 Screws. Peel off the double-sided stick from the back of the dash kit panel.
C . Hook the top bracket that is mounted to the kit panel behind the dash. Lay the panel flat and firmly press down along the outside edges to ensure double- sided stick tape has stuck to the dash surface. Fully tighten the top bracket. Using (2) M3 screws secure the bottom bracket to the dash panel. Tighten the bracket just enough to firmly hold it in place, but do not over-tighten.
D. The installation of the dash kit panel is complete.
At this point, you may want to install the USB/AUX input before re-installing
the dash panel. Refer to Instruction 5.
If you are not installing the USB/AUX input, re-assemble the dash. Refer to
the MRB3 manual for wiring instructions.

Some RZR models come with the ground “GND” terminal not connected as shown. If you do not have factory wiring going to this terminal, add a ground wire from the “GND” terminal to the frame before connecting the wires. We recommend removing the paint to bare metal, using a star washer, and repainting over the connection.
G. Run the (RED) Power and (BLACK) Ground wire of the MRB3 to the Bus Bar. Unscrew the nut on the first position terminal (accessory) and attach the (RED) Power wire. Re-screw on the nut. Then unscrew the nut on the second position terminal and attach the (BLACK) Ground wire. Re-screw on the nut.
