Which support did you purchase?

Can anyone tell me or direct me to how I can remove the radio on a 2018 SS so I can install a windshield support. I have to get in there to bolt it down
Thanks

Just leave it overnight, parked outside in a bad neighborhood.

Should be four allen screws at the corners of your radio....right? Or did they change that for 2018? If they're there, the faceplate should just come off.

Ride Command experts? @SaltyClownNY?

Here you go.sorry if it's not to clear, just took picture with iphone off the screen Randy

Welcome @frehleycomet. I see you made it to the site where a lot of talented folks live to help with Slingshot questions. Good luck on reaching your goal of installing that windshield support.

Hey all. Sorry, been away with family matters with extended family and business. ... @frehleycomet. If you still need help, send me a personal message up top and I'll give you my cell phone. Can take it out in no less than 2 minutes. ... 10 seconds if you have some battery operated tools and know how LOL.

PS... need to know what "support" and what windshield you are installing though as you may need do do more than just remove stereo head. Ride Command has a different support bracket than the standard radio.

another radio install question
Im getting ready to install a diffrent radio in my 2017 SL. It has the small radio im putting in a 7 inch touch screen. I bought the harness from slingmods their telling me there is a 3 prong plug behind radio to plug into is this correct?

This is from the Slingshot repair manual, Hope this is a better copy.

If I said "it depends", would that be OK LOL...

So different years had different plugs. The thing is, what year is your wiring harness as it may not be 2017? Now, if you have a 2017 slingshot that has a 2016 wiring harness... you have 3 prong plug and what they told you is correct. If you have a 2017 with a 2017 wiring harness, you have 4 prong plug. My 2017 slingshot has a 2016 wiring harness with 3 prong plug. According to Polaris's wiring diagram, the 2017 is supposed to have a 4 prong plug for the stereo. Who figured.

2018 they started with a 5 prong plug to support ride command.

PS... just in case... I do have these plugs in stock if you need an adapter.

With two people you don't have to take anything apart. One person can reach under from the front under the hood and hold the backing plate in place while a second person put the bolts in place. Does take a slender arm. Drop a bolt down and reach under and you can feel them, than put the backing plate in your hand and talk nice to it --- it will take a try or two.
