Polaris Off Road Vehicles
Whether it's for utility or recreation, Polaris has a complete lineup of the hardest working, smoothest riding ORVs that let our riders go anywhere and do anything."

I personally love the functionality of the 7S. I've had several of them on sleds and SxS and they keep getting better. Last week, I suggested to a Polaris Rep at the Jackson Hole RMSHA race that it would be great to have the following: 1. GoPro wifi interface where you can activate/monitor cameras from the gauge. All to often, we lose track if the camera is recording or not. 2. "Homelink" system. This is the ability to open garage doors, turn on outside lights, etc.

[@joeracer]

Great job Pat! You covered all the main stuff very nicely!

[@michaeldelesky3024]

The app works amazing for us brokies with the sport model

[@SortaStock1]

Great walkthrough!

[@hondoshaver7651]

Damn that's awesome!

[@Rzrtrails860]

We would like to see an add on option for us 2022 year owners / pro xp. to be able to add command plus onto our ride command screens / machines !!!!

[@williamangel9290]

Best comphrensive explaination of RC I've seen to date by far. That said, I didn't really learn anything new on the map type features as I'm pretty knowledgable about it already. I do wish there was something better on the syncing on RC as mine hasn't worked well in ages. It's so bad I turned it off and went back to manual. RC seems to be very problematic in keeping itself running properly. Solutions seem to be log out of everything then log back in etc. Sound like Windows where you have to do the same bs all the time. RC is a fantastic tool but this issues is the black mark on it's face. Many many people I know have the same complaint.

[@shawnu22]

Really like the "Garage Talk" video series, very informative. Could you do more indepth tutorials on the Ride Command mapping and rider groups. I still havn't figured out if or how someone can create a route and share that map with the group.

[@KegOpetator]

I love Polaris. I have two older models but can’t afford a new one that cost almost as much as a new pickup. Overpriced now days, too bad

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

You are correct, Polaris is charging way more than they should for everything. But if you want new tech, go grab a Garmin Tread for less than 50% what Polaris charges.

[@adorsett]

I have the ride command on my Sportsman XP 1000. I’ve gotta say I’m pretty jealous of the new CFMOTO which has Apple CarPlay. If Polaris is listening, you guys should add CarPlay as a software update… And while you’re doing that, launch a partnership with OnX so you can import their trails and trail data. None of the trails I want to ride locally are native in RC compared to OnX.

[@rileywindham]

Ok… the non cell based messaging is a game changer

[@jessicameyer3463]

Good system, but the warranty is almost non-existent on Ride Command. If it was as robust as they say it is, they would back it up with a warranty.

[@seanc6514]

Really wish the ride command plus could be added to the 2020 pro xp models too.

[@MtnMoto]

Any videos on the Ride command sportsman 1000XP? I love mine but haven't played with all the features yet

[@motorcyclestig8539]

I had no idea the ride command on my pro r did that much lol thats crazy

[@user-fx5hl3ux9u]

Does Polaris have plans to allow the cameras on the machine to take pictures or video?

[@austbozz783]

Is the new 7" ride command with all the fancy technology on fourwheelers, too?

[@kenanderson7321]

Do I need to purchase the module if I want to use Apple CarPlay to mirror my apps to the Ride Command screen?

[@teamprojectmayhem9490]

So the phone hooks up to ride command nicely but how do I make a call? I’ve had calls come in but I can’t hear it when I answer it do I need a headset for it? Is there something else I need to be able to talk on the phone with it

[@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu]

Wow, the group messaging and mapping is something we were working on with other gear. Of course some of our friends don't have Polaris SXSs.

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

Garmin Tread at 50% less

[@grantinov]

Thanks @@EC_ATV_Outdoors I'll check that out, I'm already using a Garmin Overlander. Are you using them? on your rides?

[@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu]

@@EC_ATV_Outdoors OK, that looks legit!!! That would solve a few problems. Commo, cameras, switches all in one. Awesome!

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

And Garmin is compatible with trak maps, which has way more trail info than Polaris has. And sure Polaris can pay trak maps to get up to date. But if you own a Garmin, just plug into your PC and update regularly. And Trak Maps is cheap, and often gives a discount if you're a club member.

[@vinse001]

I have a 23 turbo r ultimate I purchased in September of 23 how can I tell if my RzR has ride command +?

[@grantinov]

I wish it worked on my 2021 XP 1000

[@camkid1991]

I sure wish mine and everyone we ride with actually worked. So many bugs and connection issues. Not to mention the app just freezes when trying to map a ride.

[@erikscholl8780]

Why will an ipod not connect with bluetooth?

[@FreedomIsntFree2023]

Regarding syncing RC from cloud to car, why do I consistently get an error "409 payload" or something similar? I have tried syncing via a tethered iPhone and Wi-Fi but I still can not sync between the two. This is on a 2024 Turbo R4. Keep in mind I was successful in loading a bunch of trails/waypoint initially when I got the car but now get this error when trying to update trails.....

[@FreedomIsntFree2023]

Funny....out of nowhere, now the car synched! Wish I knew what is different that it now synched??

[@robertwalker2568]

Question, what's a normal water temperature for ADV Expedition???

[@brylzy]

190-210 for those 1000 motors usually if I remember correctly, it should hit 210 then fan kick on and drop to 190 and fan off till it slowly gets back to 210 again.

[@912drn]

Polaris should integrate Apple Carplay to the ride command like there indian motorcycles ! Like If They Should!!!

[@chaseschlafmann1239]

24 pro r utimate I bought and its giving me a few problems. ONX offroad is way better.

[@harlzd24]

Ummm a ummm ammm ummm ammmm

[@pman64]

He forgot to mention this all only works as long as the GPS is working which is a known weak leak in this system. Waste of $2k for this!

[@rudylamadrid4408]

What when is the gps not working lol
