Hi All - does anyone know if you add ride command, it gets the cameras, speakers, etc? Basically if you add ride command is it like ride command if you bought like the XP1000 with ride command. I want to buy an xp turbo and possibly add ride command. It is unclear to me. thanks

The mount kit contains the wire harness for the screen that’s the reason it is so expensive. If you want the group ride option you need to add another $100 or so for that another antenna

Thats the route I took - bought a 19 turbo (vise the 1000 rocks and trails) and added the RC, CDN monopoly money that's like 2k, but I loved the 5 button in my 2015 900xc, so when I upgraded machines I added the 7 button version - and if I change machines would do it again. As I don't listen to tunes when i ride, I bought a blue tooth speaker for when stopped on the trail or using / watching the phone. Works fine for me.

I added RC to my 2020 XP41K High Lifter. You have to buy a audio system separately as it doesn't come with amps, speakers, or a sub. If you get one though, it's important you go with one that is compatible with RC. I have an audio system from MBQuart, which I'm not happy with because the amp got splashed under the dash and no longer works, despite the manufacturer claiming everything is waterproof. But it worked well up until that point.

Yamahopper said you need another antenna for group ride, but I'm not sure that's true because I didn't buy anything extra and the group ride works fine for me, but that may just work off the app/cell towers so you may need another antenna when there's no coverage, I'm not sure on that one.

IIRC, the $1500 MSRP on RC is just for the screen. The dash mount kit came with all the harnesses.

RC is cool as a nav system, but the audio quality is garbage. Not sure if it's the speakers, low power from the head unit or a combination of both, but I am seriously unimpressed with the sound it delivers.

Luckily, I dont care about music while riding, but if you do be prepared to spend additional cash on amps & speakers.

I added Ride Command to my 2019 HL XP4. The install kit from Polaris comes with both cameras, FM Antenna and wiring harness. I did have to add the V2V antenna for group rice without cell. I also added audio but pieced it together using TrailstarAudio harnesses as most of the package deals either don’t sound good or are very expensive. I went with SSV kickpanel enclosures, SSV Sub Enclosure, JL 600/3 Amp, Wetsounds 6 1/2s, JL 10” W3 Sub, and a wetsounds stealth 6 bar for the rear.

Ride command audio system is plenty loud to hear while riding but quality is crap.

If you only want the nav part of it. You can use your phone or small tablet with the ride command app instead. Would save you a ton of money.

If you care about audio, which it doesn't sound like you do...you would want something else.

A lot of people not liking RC audio quality on these forums! I think y'all just got some bad apples...

What are you guys paying for these audio systems to get such bad quality? Maybe it's a "you get what you pay for" sort of thing? Not being rude, just being honest.

The audio is ok just to have music. Mine came with ride command. If i had to do it over, id get a rzr without and add audio separately and just use the app.

I guess it does have some nice features but i could probably do without.

I just temporarily hooked up my new mb quart gmr-led head unit....omg it's sounds so much better in the 1min I've had to play with it.
Still a lot to do and play with. It's not perfect but making progress

I've been doing some testing and am experimenting with the MB Quart head unit. I have also discovered some critical information...but will start my own thread to hopefully help others in the future. I will have to get something to confirm....but i think there is a reasonably cost effective solution to make ride command very acceptable.

my pro has RC and the one thing that hasn't been mentioned is the ability to still have nav and route guidance when in areas that don't have cell coverage. you're phones navigation will not work in area's with poor coverage. RC comes in really handy for those spots. RC can definitely be found cheaper, MSRP on those is crazy high.

I'm really interested in RC but i can't justify 3 g for it
I'm in Canada so if someone has ideas on how to incorporate RC and a good stereo I'd be interested in recommendation ,paying between $5500-$6000 plus tax for RC and stereo feels like gouging to me but I don't really want a sound bar and a tablet !

Also wondering if I can install an after market wiper kit I see them marine for $120-150 and lastly i want the 5 year warranty but my dealer wants $3500 plus tax and Can Am is $1200 it's quite a difference in price

Txs for all your help

I have RC with all the options and really like the ability to group ride. I definitely recommend the you add the extra radio antenna for the ability to stay connected outside of cell coverage. I also recently added the new Garmin Tread to my RZR so my friends without RC have another option other than RC to connect to me. The Tread has all the features of RC plus two way talk radio and I can Bluetooth my Sena TuffTalk to it. I think Garmin is going to take over with SxS riders eventually.
