HARDWARE QUESTIONS

Do I need the 7”
in-vehicle display to
use
RIDE ?

No. RIDE  utilizes the Plug-In and a
compatible mobile device to provide connected data.
No functionality is added to the 7” display at this
time.

Which Plug-In and
Installation Kit do I
buy for my vehicle?

On the Polaris Off-Road Vehicle’s website
(

https://offroad.polaris.com/en-us/

), under Parts,

Accessories & Garments, you can search for your
vehicle’s accessories by VIN. Upon doing so, the
appropriate RIDE  Plug-In and
Installation Kit will be present if your vehicle is
capable.

What kind of prep
work should I
complete prior to
activating my vehicle
in the Polaris app?

1. Create a free account on the Polaris app or on

the RIDE COMMAND website (ridecommand.
polaris.com).

2. Prep your vehicle by:

• Unloading your vehicle
• Checking your cellular connection. RIDE

 is compatible with most cell phones.

• Moving the vehicle to a location with a strong GPS

signal. An area with strong cellular connection is
typically not under or surrounded by any structure
(specifically metal structure), is in a location where
cell phones work well, is not underground, etc.

Where can I find my
VIN on my vehicle?

On most Polaris RZR and RANGER vehicles, the
VIN can be found in the left-rear wheel well, stamped
into the frame. On most Sportsman ATV’s, the VIN
can be found in a similar location, or in the left-front
wheel well. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for details
on your model.
