Prepping the Rubber Case

The rubber case is used to keep out dust and water from the edges of the Commander Touch™ controller. On the back of the case are four holes used to mark the location of the four screw holes on the back of the controller. It is recommended to use a small screwdriver to push through the case inside the circles and make a small hole. This will allow the screws to pass through the case when mounting the case. This step can also be done after the case has been installed on the Commander Touch™ controller.

Install the Rubber Case Around Controller

Follow the steps below to install the case around the controller.

Attaching the Dual Mounting Plate

Locate the Dual Male AMPS Plate from the bag of parts along with the screws. Use a screw driver or other tool to push a hole through the back of the case in the designated circles marked on the back of the case. Next, take the Dual Male AMPS Plate and screw it to the back of the rubber case making sure the screw goes all the way through the case to the screw hole. Be sure to not overtighten the screws.

Mount Assembly Options

Before getting started, it is recommended to locate an installation spot on your UTV that will allow you to see the screen of the receiver and operate the unit safely while driving. There are three different mounting options included with this kit. Select the option that best fits your UTV and installation requirements.

FLUSH MOUNT
Locate the Dual Female AMPS Plate in the parts bag.

Using four screws or adhesive tape screws mount the Dual Female AMPS Plate on the dash or other desired location.

Next line up the dual T notches on the back of the controller with the slots on the Dual Female AMPS Plate and push the controller down. The picture on the left shows what the plate will look like from the back when the notches line up with the slots. Be sure to mount the DUAL Female AMPS Plate to the surface before sliding the display onto the plate.

Selecting the Correct Antenna Adapter

Included in the kit are two FAKRA antenna adapters that are used to connect the FMDA25 to the Ride Command® antenna system. For vehicles prior to 2020 use the blue colored adapter. For vehicles manufactured in 2020 and newer use the cable with the black FAKRA connector.

Connecting Adapters to FMDA25
If your vehicle has an AM/FM antenna to you can still use the antenna with the FMDA25. The FMDA25 allows the AM/FM signal to pass-thru to the Ride Command® system (or other aftermarket stereo system).

1. Connect the RCA-FKA adapter cable into the female socket on the TO VEHICLE FM ANTENNA port on the FMDA25
2. Connect the PRC-FKA (or V2 RIDECO per step 1) to the TO VEHICLEL FM RADIO port on the FMDA25

Installation without AM/FM Antenna

Step 1
If there is no AM/FM antenna installed in the vehicle the RCA-FKA antenna adapter is not needed and the port labeled TO VEHICLE FM ANTENNA should be left open.

Step 2
Locate the RIDE COMMAND® AM/FM Antenna Port
Locate the AM / FM antenna connector in your UTV. The color and location may vary based on the year and model of your vehicle. In our example it is the connect on the right of the connection cluster shown below.

Step 3
Connect the FMDA25 to the Vehicle AM/FM Antenna Port

Step 4
Plug the connection from the FMDA25 labeled
“TO VEHICLE FM RADIO” into the RideCommand® Antenna port. Make sure the connector is pushed all the way down and the FAKRA connectors snaps in.

If the vehicle has an AM/FM antenna connect the aqua colored connector on the port labeled
“TO VEHICLEL FM RADIO”. Make sure the connector is pushed all the way down and the FAKRA connectors snaps in.

Step 5
Connect the Audio Cables to the SiriusXM Dock
On the FMDA25 locate the audio cable labeled “TO SIRIUS RADIO” and connect the cable into the FM Port on the docking cradle. Shown by the arrows in the pictures below.

Step 6
Connecting Power and Power Options Included in the package are 3 power options

1. Hardwired Power Adapter
2. USB Power Cable

Please Note – Each power option will work with the docking cradle that is included in the kit. Feel free to select the power option that best meets your installation needs.

SiriusXM Radio Antenna Installation

Once you have the audio and power connected it’s time to install the SiriusXM Radio antenna.
It is recommended to select a location on your UTV that will allow the antenna to have maximum clearance from a roof or other objects.

Antenna Installation Tips

• Magnetic Antenna – It is recommended to place the antenna on a metal surface as high as possible on the vehicle such as the roof or roll bar. This antenna requires a ground plane for optimal reception.
• For installing the UTV Post Antenna refer to those instructions.

Connection the Antenna to the Cradle

1. Run the antenna cable from the antenna either inside the roll cage pipe tubing or along the outside securing the antenna cable with cable ties (not supplied). Be sure not to over-tighten the cable ties as the stress could cause damage to the antenna wire.
2. Bring the antenna connection to the desired location (dry box is recommended) to the SiriusXM receiver. It is recommended to leave a couple of inches of play in the cable.
3. Connect the antenna wire to the antenna port (ANT) on the docking cradle.
4. If you need additional cable length to run the antenna you can purchase SiriusXM antenna extension cables from our website.

Power Up and Tune Radio

After connecting the antenna, power, and audio to the receiver docking cradle you will need to tune the Radio to an empty FM radio channel.
To find an empty FM channel in your area visit: https://www.siriusxm.com/frequency

If there is static we recommend to select a different FM channel.

Installation Wiring Diagram

4. Route and connect the ILL orange wire to a 12 volt source which is on ONLY when the motorcycle’s exterior parking or headlights are turned on. DO NOT connect to the Dimmer line as the voltage fluctuates. Connection to the ILL wire is optional, but it will allow you to take advantage of the independent Auto Day/Night brightness setting option.
5. Route and connect the GND black wire to the motorcycle ground connection, usually the motorcycle’s chassis.

Install Audio Connection

There are two ways to connect the audio for the Commander Touch: using the AUX Audio Cable, or using the FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter. Both audio connection solutions are included with the Commander Touch and both audio solutions can be active at the same time.

• AUX Audio Cable: Best: If your motorcycle’s radio has a auxiliary input jack, this is the easiest way to connect the audio and provides excellent audio .
• FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter: Good: The FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter directly connects the FM signal from the Commander Touch to the motorcycle’s radio, reducing any interference which might be present from FM radio stations. When the Commander Touch is turned off, the motorcycle’s FM antenna is automatically connected back to the motorcycle’s radio. The FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter connects directly in-line with the motorcycle’s existing AM/FM antenna input. Follow the instructions below for the audio connection you have selected.

Connecting the Audio Using the AUX Audio Cable
The auxiliary input jack may be located on the face plate of the motorcycle’s radio, on the back of the radio, or anywhere on the front dash panel.

5. The audio level can be adjusted by swiping to the Settings page, tap Audio Options, then tap Audio Output Level and adjust the audio output level.

Connecting the Audio Using the FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter

Certain models of motorcycles will require adapters to connect the AM/FM antenna to the FMDA25 and to connect the FMDA25 to the motorcycle’s radio. These adapters are sold separately at auto parts stores or by professional installers.

1. Remove the motorcycle’s radio from the dash and disconnect the AM/FM antenna cable from the rear of the motorcycle’s radio.

2. Plug the FM Antenna Connector (A) from the FMDA25 into the same connector on the vehicle’s radio.(Additional antenna adapter may be required.)
   

3. Plug the motorcycle’s AM/FM antenna cable into the female FM Antenna Socket (B) of the FMDA25.(Additional antenna adapter may be required.)

4. Plug the Mini Connector (C) of the FMDA25 into the FM connection of the Tuner Module.

5. If needed reinstall the radio.

6. The FMDA25 should be secured in a hidden location on the bike.

7. Turn the vehicle’s radio on and tune it to FM channel 97.9.

8. Press the Power button on the Commander Touch Display Controller. After the start up sequence, you should hear SiriusXM Preview Channel 1 through your vehicle’s radio.

9. The audio level can be adjusted by swiping to the Settings page, tap Audio Options, then tap Audio Output Level and adjust the audio output level.
   NOTE! The Audio Output Level adjusts both the AUX audio output level as well as the FMDA audio output level. Use caution when making the adjustments. For FM, it is recommended to adjust the level to MAX.
