Update Software

NOTICE
Before updating the display, always export your existing drives and waypoints to a secondary USB drive to avoid losing them. Do not save them to the same USB used for installing the software update. You must use an empty USB drive for all software and map updates.

To update the display software, complete the following steps:

On your Personal Computer

  1. Go to ridecommand.slingshot.polaris.com/en-us/ridecommand.

  2. Log in to your account, or create a new account.

  3. Using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), add your new Polaris Slingshot to your Garage.

  4. Locate and download the latest software to a USB flash drive (8+ GB).

NOTICE
For optimal download speed and connection stability, it is recommended to have a wired internet connection to your personal computer while downloading updates to your USB flash drive.

On your Slingshot

  1. Connect the USB flash drive to the USB cable and power up your vehicle.

  2. On the Ride Command display, press the Badge Panel button at the top of the screen, followed by the Gear button.

  3. Select General Settings, then Update Software.

  4. Select the file you wish to load (use the date listed in the file name to determine the most recent file).

  5. Select “Yes” to restart the display (restart required).

  6. After your display has restarted and you’ve determined the update to be successful, power down your vehicle prior to disconnecting your USB flash drive from the port in the glove box.
