P500 MTX Overhead Audio Pod fits!

[Mudder]

Just tried both units side by side with BT, unfortunately will only connect wireless to a phone one at a time. Guess the unit 1 output jumpered to the input mini plug of the unit 2? each unit can select its own source.

That's why you have to disable one.

Saw this plug, unable to get to rear of my unit. Don’t know if similar.

Don't know exactly what you're trying to do, have two separate units playing the same thing? You need a splitter, like a 3.5 mm if it's equipped with one.
You could hook the other two speakers to the first unit but they would share the power and depending on the amp inside, you could burn it up as you're putting it under a 2 ohm load. Two more speakers in pods would be a lot cheaper.

Just got mine today, quick shipping from ebay! I halfway installed it to see how it is going to fit up, the moose roof fits tighter than the honda roof so it is going to bulge the back out a little, no biggie though. This thing is awesome, sounds great and the waterproof compartment is great with usb charger. Also the dome light is a nice touch, really going to be handy. I cranked it up on a few songs and it surprised me how good it sounds for 6" speakers. Anyway great deal, thanks @Mudder !! Now I just need to install my front locker and I will be ready for riding season

Mine is ordered. Now the waiting begins.....

Look what the UPS guy delivered a minute ago

Even had the same power plugs as the honda accessory sub harness. Set the rear then push up the front. Holds in place itself while you put front bolts in. Power cables long enough to reach sub harness. Plugged in just a car antenna cable and got even better reception (cable left over from my antenna spider web sticks).

@Mudder is the accessory sub harness that you plug into something already on the P500 or something that I need to get?

You can get it from a Honda dealer or on the internet, about $10.

@Mudder one more question on the hookup. What colors on the sub harness do you matchup with the orange and black wires on the radio?

 

[Mudder]

Green and red, single wires. Thinking both were key on power only. Will check later.

Now even more confused (no surprise) i thought the red wire would plug into the red sub harness wire. Guess I need to know where all three of them should be plugged into. Sorry for all the questions @Mudder

Just looked, since I had the Polaris red hooked to a full time hot terminal that supplies the winch, I connected the Polaris orange (key on) to the Honda red. Try the honda green and red, worst case both may be key on only. don’t know if the MTX requires a full time hot for channel preset memory. I grounded the MTX ground directly to a frame ground point.

Found one earlier today on eBay for $179, so I grabbed it. Was $199 with a $20 coupon at checkout and I believe it was the last one.

[Mudder]

So has everyone got them installed and working OK?

 

[Todd627]

@Mudder, yes, mine is installed and working good. Overall pretty happy with it given the price and "plug N play" setup. Still playing around with the final location above me though. Going to get some pods to hook into the auxiliary port for a little more sound.
