This document describes the SSV Works WP3-DF04 Can-Am Defender Overhead 4-Speaker Stereo System, an audio accessory designed for Can-Am Defender vehicles. The system integrates an overhead stereo unit with four speakers, providing an enhanced audio experience for the vehicle's occupants.

Function Description

The WP3-DF04 is a complete overhead stereo system that includes an MRB3 Bluetooth Media Controller, four speakers, and all necessary wiring and mounting hardware for installation in a Can-Am Defender. Its primary function is to provide audio playback through various sources, including FM/AM radio, Bluetooth audio streaming, and an optional external audio device via an AUX input. The system is designed to be robust and suitable for off-road environments, with components built to withstand the elements.

The MRB3 Bluetooth Media Controller serves as the central interface for the stereo system. It allows users to control audio playback, switch between different audio sources, adjust volume, and fine-tune sound settings. The controller features a clear LCD display that shows current settings and information.

The system's speakers are integrated into the overhead unit, providing a distributed sound field within the vehicle's cabin. The design aims to deliver clear and powerful audio, enhancing the driving experience whether on trails or open roads.

Usage Features

The WP3-DF04 offers a range of user-friendly features for audio playback and control:

• Power On/Off and Mute: The system can be powered on by briefly pressing the Play/Pause button and powered off by pressing and holding it. A brief press of the same button also mutes and unmutes the sound.
• Volume Control: Dedicated VOL(+) and (-) buttons allow for easy adjustment of the audio volume.
• Mode Selection: The MODE button enables users to switch between available audio sources, including AUX, FM, AM, and Bluetooth (BT MUSIC).
• Radio Functions:
  • Band Selection: Users can select between FM and AM bands by pressing the MODE button until the desired band appears on the display.
  • Automatic Station Search: The Track Forward/Back buttons ( or ) initiate an automatic search for radio stations. The search stops once a station is found.
  • Manual Station Search: By pressing and holding the Track Forward/Back buttons, users can enter manual seek mode (M - SEEK). Brief presses of these buttons then allow for fine-tuning the frequency. To return to automatic search, the process is reversed.
  • Region Selection: The system supports selecting between USA and Europe area frequencies for radio reception, adjusted via the VOL(+) or (-) buttons in the Mode Settings.
• Bluetooth Audio Streaming:
  • Pairing: To stream audio via Bluetooth, users activate Bluetooth on their mobile device and search for "SSV." The passkey "0000" is used for pairing.
  • Playback Control: Once paired, a Bluetooth logo and "CONNECT" "BT MUSIC" will appear on the device's LCD display. The Play/Pause button can be used to pause and resume music playback. The Track Forward/Back buttons allow users to skip to the previous or next song.
• External Audio Device Connection (Optional): The system supports connecting an external audio device via an AUX input. This is accessed by pressing the MODE button until "AUX" is displayed. An optional 3.5mm AUX-in and USB charging module (SSV Works 3PUSB35A, sold separately) can be added for this functionality.
• Sound Settings (Mode Settings): By pressing the MODE button for 2 seconds and then using the Track Forward/Back buttons, users can access and adjust various sound settings:
  • Bass (BAS) / Treble (TRE): Adjusts the bass and treble levels using the VOL(+) or (-) buttons.
  • Balance (BAL): Controls the sound distribution between the right and left speakers using the VOL(+) or (-) buttons.
  • Fader (FAD): Adjusts the sound distribution between the front and rear speakers using the VOL(+) or (-) buttons.
  • Equalizer (EQ): Offers various equalizer presets (OFF, FLAT, CLASS, POP, ROCK, JAZZ, METAL). The equalizer is disabled if "EQ OFF" is selected. The current EQ setting is shown at the bottom of the display.
  • Loudness (LOUD): Toggles the loudness function ON or OFF. When ON, "LOUD" is displayed on the right side of the screen.
• Interchangeable Chroma WP Speaker Grilles: The system offers customizable speaker grilles (CGS-R, CGS-W, CGS-B, CGS-O) in red, white, blue, or orange, sold separately in pairs. These allow users to personalize the look of their stereo system to match their vehicle.
• WP Add-On Aux Input & 2.1A USB Charge Port: An optional accessory (WP3-USB35A) provides a 3.5mm AUX input and a 2.1A USB charge port. This can be mounted in the glovebox or replace a dash power port, offering convenient connectivity and charging for media players.
