I too have a 2016 Base model and have all I need to do the install. However is there a way - or should I say - can you show me a way to have a switch on the dash that will have an option to have the back up camera on all the time? I am great with wrenches but the whole "wire" thing is new to me. Yes I can take it to the dealer or other outlet and say "when will it be done" but like my motorcycles I like doing this stuff myself. Any help would be appreciated!

@SoCal, Are you running a stock radio or an aftermarket radio? Or are you planing to install a backup camera with a dedicated screen?

wow! that was fast! I have the below units. I have sent along a diagram of the back up camera wiring diagram as well.
I have also a Slingmods Scosche radio harness with reverse camera retention. The camera retention that came with the
harness is no good to me as I am not dealing with a stock head unit though.Hope this helps you help me! Really appreciated!

I also have and will install the Scosche Double Din Stereo Dash Kit with Sun Visor for the Polaris Slingshot (2015-17).
I think this unit is SOOOO clean and nice as the visor and the sunken in screen I hope is best for the sunlight issue.
I was a little slow to order though as the install is quite elaborate but having the base model I think I can install
the brackets from the engine bay with out taking apart the dash... time will tell. -

@SoCal, I thought there was a thread on here on how to wire a switch to be able to use the camera at will, but I can't seem to find it. Found this, don't think it's the one I was thinking of.
How to wire a relay to view front and rear camera
@Tripod, can you do any better?

@SoCal this is off-topic but welcome to the forum! I just answered your question 'elsewhere' regarding using aluminum on my luggage racks, but will respond further on my thread here and tag you when I do. You are in good hands here on this forum as you can see. There's lots of smart folk here willing to help. Good luck with the camera - it looks like you're getting the help you need!

Much appreciated - really enjoy the vibe here!

Geeeezzzz feeling a little boneheaded as I did not get this from the manual. Appreciate you taking the time to point this out to me.
Appreciate ALL that have replied so fast and with such candor.

Mike, is that the users manual, or a different one? I freely admit I was just skimming through the manual, but I may also have a reading comprehension problem.

It’s in the user manual for the aftermarket radio.

That would be a good reason not to find it in the Slingshot manual, hahahaha.
