DS18 CA-X3DS6 CAN-AM X3 Dashboard
Product Information
The CA-X3DS6 is a dashboard panel designed specifically for the Can-Am X3.
It is made of durable Polyethylene material and allows for the installation of
one 6.5-inch speaker on each side of the dashboard. These panels come in pairs
for both the driver and passenger sides. The installation of these panels
requires the use of factory bolts, making it easy to install and mount the
speakers securely. It is important to note that the placement of the driver’s
side speakers can affect the performance of the Smart-Lok module if equipped.
This can result in inadvertent correction of the steering wheel, impacting the
driving experience and potentially posing a danger. To avoid this issue, the
module will need to be recalibrated at a servicing Can-Am dealer or relocated
using a Smart-Lok Module Relocation Kit.
