I have on order 2022 turbo r ultimate, and its my understanding that there isint an adapter or a way to run another audio system in parallel, and still keep the RC amp in use. Has anyone found a work around for this. My plan is to take my NOAM audio setup which is a amp, sub, and two tower speakers, and hook it up in conjunction with my RC, but am being told in doing so, that the RC amp will not be able to be used with the adapters that are currently on the market. I am sure its doable, but I dont have the machine in front of me to look. thanks

Fastman, just went through all of this, and actually still installing this.
Your RC has a 23pin connector to the stock amp. It as well has a sub output plug.
You may need to forego the stock amp. Get a RF-POL5 interface with a custom 23 pin plug. This and a sub plug adapter. Plug all into car. From this interface you can run either (1) five channel amp like RF-M5-1500Ă—5 or other 5 chan amps, or one 4chan and 1 sub amp. Some subs have amps built in.
I went with the RF M5 amp for space saving, As well, it's made specifically for this environment , and easy of connectivity.
The RFPOL-RC5 interface cleans up any pop and backfeed sounds, as well as increases voltage to the amp as the RC does not have enough output for most amps. This item I believe is a must to run between your RC and your amps, unless you have RC specific amps to match RC output signals. That info I have read and researched online and forums not from experience.

You will need to run New front speaker wire from your amp to spkrs. That's an easy enough task.
I'd recommend getting new front speakers at this time. The stock are really not that impressive.
And especially since you already have the dash apart for this task. Now would be the time.

The person to reach out to for these adapters and other items if need be,
is Chuck at TrailStar Audio. Google will locate. I'm new to forums and haven't figured out how to add links etc...lol.
He made me a 23 plugin, which he connected directly to the RF POL-RC5 Interface. As well connected the sub plug to same interface All plug and play.
Now I simply connect amps to interface and so on.

He's super to deal with.
Hope this helps out.

Very helpful info, but with the 23pin plug and the 7 button RC, how does the RFPOL-RC5 connect? I have the 32pin/16pin RC.

Fastman, that 32 & 16 pin your referencing, You are looking at the back of the actual ride command screen? Those plugs do not get messed with. They stay as they are.
There is a 23 pin plug down low coming off the harness below the RC screen.
This 23 pin plug, attaches to your stock amp. Its a tight fit in there and difficult to see, you should take off your top and front dash to get to all of this. There is also a blue 3 or 4 pin plug ( about 3/4" square) in the harness just above and to the right of the stock amp, This is your subwoofer plug in. It will have a blank cap on it.

As mentioned in my previous post:
You may need to forego the stock amp. Get a RFPOL-RC5 interface with a custom 23 pin plug. ( From Chuck at Trail Star Audio) This will come attached with 23 pin plug in and a sub plug.
Plug all into car. From this RFPOL-RC5 interface, you can run either (1) five channel amp like RF-M5-1500Ă—5 or other manufacturer 5 chan amps, or one 4chan and 1 sub amp. (Space is tight).
Some subs have amps built in. The RFPOL-RC5 interface outputs c/w standard RF plugs for RF amps and as well RCA's for other manufacturer Amps.

Now, If you choose to use the stock amp, which connects to the main harness, via this 23 pin plug in. Then you will need to ask if Trail Star can build you a custom plug adapter, to fit between the Main harness and the Stock amp. This adapter will plug into the 23 pin harness and then plugs back into your stock amp, solely just for your fronts. This plug would require to have feeds off of it to plug into a RFPOL-RC34 interface adapter. ( For your Rears and Sub). This RFPOL-RC34 will feed from the 23 pin plug for your rears and then have a Separate plug which attaches to the Subwoofer harness plug. Trail Star would likely build you that 23 pin plug attached already to the RFPOL-RC34. Supply as one unit.
Your would then plug your amps into the RFPOL-RC34 harness via the RCA adapters that its comes with. If you have Rockford Fostgate amps, then it already has the plugs attached.

Now mind you, this is information particular for a 2020 wiring harness on my RZR XP Pro. I do believe that likely your 2022 will have that same set up. (Ask Chuck @ Trail Star)
My Unit came Stock with the Front Speakers only and the stock amp.
Hope this all helps.

In Summery, I just completed my install on my 2020 XP Pro, WOW what a job.
Crap load of wiring. Tight quarters to fit amps and adapters etc..
New fronts Speakers. and wiring.
Added Rears.
Added a Subwoofer.
RF Color Optics controller for the lighted speakers.
Added Rock lights, Rear lights, Roof Lights, Whip light , Separate Garmin GPS power feed switch, interior accent lighting, Dome light.
Added a ITX power command box to feed all the rocker switches.(6 switches) This cleans up a lot of wiring headaches.
You can inject a unit like a Slasher controller in leu of using the rocker switches.
A Slasher is cheaper, easier and Cleaner wiring overall, but I did not find I had a spot for the panel that I liked. So I went the more expensive and Harder route by using the Rocker switches
As well, bought 6 plug ins for the Stock Bus bar that have fuses attached for the ACC and Power wires. ( Amazon)

I think Chuck sorted me out this morning. I just need to do some wiring for the speakers.
