Plug and Play remote starter installed in a 2020 RZR XP TURBO.

One of local retailers contacted us to inquire if the RZR remote start kit would fit the 2020 models. We have done research and were confident that the kit would be compatible, but just to make sure, and because we appreciate our local dealerships working closely with us, we offered to complete the install for their customer, which would also allow us to 100% verify compatibility. So off to the dealership we go, Dirty Teeth Racing RZR remote starter in hand, ready to make another happy customer. When we arrived we were introduced to Alex, who was extremely excited about his new plug and play remote start upgrade. In speaking with Alex, we learned that he drives a big Ram truck, and he was fluent and also extremely excited about the turbo timer feature that comes standard on all of our remote start kits. He knows that using the turbo timer feature on the remote starter will prolong the life of his turbo, and keep him out there riding – smiling ear to ear! The guys in service were kind enough to let us use a work station in the service bays, as we promised we would be in and out in under 30 minutes. The install went exactly as planned and we can absolutely confirm compatibility with the 2020 Polaris RZR XP Turbo.

With the help of the included pre-wired harness, the installation was a breeze.

With the new 2020 RZR secured on a UTV lift we began the install (we never actually used the lift, installing on the ground is easiest). We un-boxed the kit and plugged in 4 plug for the pre-wired harness to the brain. Next we removed the hood piece by turning the 2 thumb latches. The hood was set aside, as it will not be needed until reassembly. Using a T-40 Torx bit, we removed the 2 cap screws that secure the dash piece. With those 2 T-40 Torx removed, we gently “popped” the dash forward to release it form the clips that hold it in place. It did take a little extra “pop” as this was a virgin machine, and no one had previously removed the dash. With the dash popped free, we slid it forward to access the ignition plug, as well as have room to place the brain high in the dash under the dash piece. Again we had a “virgin” plug going into the back of the ignition harness, and I knew it might be tricky to remove. I used a 90 degree pick tool to hook the locking tab, and gently lift while pulling back on the harness to allow the plug to release form the back of the key switch, this is the best way to ensure that there is no damage to the plug or locking tab. Ignition plug removal video With the factory ignition plug removed form the back of the key switch, the T-harness can be installed. The 2 ring terminals and the 2nd T-harness were run through the factory accessories grommet. The 2 ring terminal connections were made to the factory buss bar. The brake switch T-harness was run down towards the brake master cylinder to make the brake switch T-harness connection. with the factory connector removed, we install that T-harness.Next we plugged in the antenna and tested the system out. It started right up first try, so we took a walk to ensure that the range for the system was sufficient. It had a good 500 feet, so we mounted everything up and showed the customer how to use they system. Total time for this install was just under 30 minutes.
