Connecting Your Vehicle to Wi-Fi

Model year 2019 and newer Polaris Off-Road vehicles with a touchscreen display can connect to nearby Wi-Fi networks, if equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities. This allows you to import and export data to and from the RIDE COMMAND cloud without using a USB drive. Note: Not all vehicles are equipped with Wi-Fi. Read Syncing RIDE COMMAND Data for more options.
