Back to the original poster: Yes it should pretty much be plug-n-play. All the wiring should be there although you may have to dig through places to find it all, including the camera wiring in the tail.

The stereo is actually a 2 piece: A black box that mounts in the back of the stereo cubby and then the screen up front. As long as you made no modifications to the dash or that area, they should just all screw in.

There should be a big 32 pin connector that goes into the back of the black box. There there are a couple square connectors that go into the screen portion. There are other threads on here that have pics. Search for posts by me about 2 yrs ago.

And yes, many people have found the stock stereo to be . . . . err . . . . lacking. Including myself. I had many go arounds with Polaris on mine and eventually replaced the whole thing. In SS2, I put in a Pioneer head unit running Pioneer speakers in the stock pods - okay, but couldn't hear at highway speeds. In SS3, I put a Kenwood Excelon head unit with Kenwood 300W Marine Amp running 4 Kicker speakers in SSV Works front and rear pods. That one ROCKs but could use a little more bass.

i’ll take a look at other post here! thank you!

sounds like you changed the speakers, head unit and added amp as well, but left the factory wiring in?

It sounds like the whole kit is pretty much useless and not worth the time for the install for a very low quality audio system? am i right?

A friend of mine gave me this new infotainment kit that he got from one of the vendor here. I was thinking of installing it to my 2016 since I only have the base and could use the radio and the backup camera.

Now, i’ve heard that a lot of people here have upgraded their stereo system since the factory one sucks. I’m not sure if this easy plug and play kind of thing or is it even worth installing it. Has anyone install this before in their base slingshot? Pros? Cons? Should I just skip it altogether and build my own?

Thanks!

Haha,

Here are some additional deals https://fixmytoys.com/collections/polaris-slingshot

there goes one of my kidney.... who needs two kidney nowadays?

i seriously need to stay away from forums around this time of the year...

If you know for sure your new lights aren’t going to go over 5 amps, I would set the neutrino at 5 amps....keeping it as low as you can keeps more amps available for the other circuits.

I forgot to ask that earlier. I was debating whether to put it in 5, but i set it to 10 to test it out earlier.. but when I did my test, I don't have the SS engine running, just the accessories power on to make sure its working.

you dont think the amps would increase, when I have the SS engine running and have the headlights(currently running HID kits) running? I guess ill have to test it out some more tomorrow after the installation and do some more testing.

I’ve had made so many operator errors happen in my life I consider it normal.....everything I do ends up like Gillian’s island......what starts out as a simple project turns in to a major undertaking requiring tons of time I never counted on spending....most of it looking for a simple part that should have been available at any store on every block.

On a related subject I have lots of electronic equipment I use for work. Whenever a problem occurs my mind automatically goes to the most expensive complicated unit. Which usually 99% of the time turns out to be the simplest problem.

You're right! Now, I have to remember to look at the settings I have in neutrino before hooking anything. I was just so excited to try it out and see how bright the LED is.

Speaking of simple project, thanks for reminding me, I still have to finish re-wiring the neutrino box... and clean up the spaghetti cable I have in here.

This is how much each piece of my heated riding gear requires....it’s actually slightly less. But I set the amps a little higher to give it a little head room.

With all my heated gear on high it’s under 20 amps. I have each one on a separate circuit so I can control them individually.

thank you Bigdog I did what you recommended and it turns out that the problem is me....

I had set the circuit where I connected my RGB halo lights long ago to cut off at 2 amp, but after hooking up the underglow to the halo module, it’s now pulling 2.70-3.50, so of course the setting I had set before to cut off at 2 amps would kick in... and here I am going crazy for the past two days why it was cutting off when I power in everything.

Now I gotta finish the installation tomorrow and I’ll finally have the lights ready for halloween!

Quote from Bigdog

The entire fuss box is only good for 60 amps....you have 6 circuits. The max amperage for all 6 circuits combined has to be 60 amps or less. Set the circuit you have the lights hooked to....to about 10 amps.

Do you have other electronics hooked to the neutrino?

The only electronics hooked to my neutrino is the halo chaser lights, but the underground chaser also hooked up to the module where the halo chaser lights connects to. Thanks for that suggestion, I'll look into the circuit where my halo connects to.

What’s the correct amperage set? When i set my halo chaser, i remember setting it to all the way up. I’ll have to look it up tomorrow

hello,

anyone installed this LED Chaser Underglow from slingmods along with the halo chaser lights? I tried to install it a couple days ago, but I'm having issue keeping it on. Here's what I have so far:

Mods:

Neutrino Smart Controlled Fuse Block

RGB Chaser Halo lights

Problems:

1. The led strip comes on for about a quick second when turning it on with the remote along with the halo lights.

2. I disconnected the halo lights input, and only have the under glow LED hooked up. It powers on the whole under glow, but when I change to a different color using the remote, it shut off.

I'm going to try to get in contact with TricLED support tomorrow, but no and see if they can help me with other troubleshooting, but I figured I'd ask around here and see if anyone encounter a similar issue.

Thanks!

That is freaking awesome, thanks for the video, I will have to add this to my long list of things I need.

thanks @Chain Glad you liked it.

just posted a new video with the daytime and night time riding. Hope you guys like it!

Quote from exharleyrider

My Oh Shit moment was going into a corner on a beautiful sunny afternoon and hitting a huge area of liquefied crap from a leaking Honey Wagon. Lost the bike and went into the ditch and would have been fine but then hit a deep pile of sand which ripped the handlebars out of my hands. Highsided and messed up a bunch of ribs and my shoulder, hence the exharleyrider handle. Not looking back because I love my sling, but it was a definite Oh Shit moment.

OMG!! I hope you're ok after that incident. The bike can be replace anytime, but I like the name. It's very catchy!!

That story reminds me when I rode my sportbike to the dealer to get oil change one beautiful sunny afternoon as well. Let's just say that I broke my frame slider, damage my fairings, and the pedal. Oh and the new oil is also got a big hole, and leaking all over the intersection.

I guess, when you think that life is going good, it has a funny thing of proving you wrong.

Just an update, the vendor got back to me after showing him the videos. Now, we're going to the bottom of this weird thing that my transmission was doing. I'll send update soon.

For the meantime.. I'm going to try and see if I can tweak something here to get to 700 HP!

Behold the DEVIL.

Quote from maverick5990

So did you have any of these issues before the automatic transmission? I'm betting no.

i encountered the similar issue when I first test drive the SS. The dealer said it has new set of tires.

Quote from lrobbi

Just noticed is it an automatic since last we seen each other?. NICE!!

No sir! that automatic trans is the recent mod this year. I put in lots of miles on it already since I got it, but I can use the manual mode in case I wants to get hands on.

Quote from MiM

Yep... Oh and my oh shit moment? Actually going into hydroplane...

OMG... I hope you're ok and the SS..

Quote from BKL

I finally watched @MrGrey's videos. First thing I noticed was it looked like he was on I-495 in Maryland. When his Slingshot seemed to slide, it caused me to think about something I think was originally posted by @Dave@DDMWorks along the lines of the hardest part of an automatic transmission conversion on the Slingshot is integrating the auto trans control module to work properly with the Slingshot's ECU. In the first video, the slide seems to be followed by some engine surging which could be a result of one of the safety sensors detecting an out-of-bounds situation that may have resulted from the rough patch of road he just drove over. I have posted about riding on a dry road and suddenly experiencing what I first thought was a blown rear tire and a brief slide that startled me. I went back to check the road and couldn't see any spot that might have triggered something, but I can't help wondering if a momentary loss of contact with the road might have caused the rear tire to spin fast enough to be out of sync with the system's expected programmed readings and then causing the safety systems to react unexpectedly.
I didn't notice similar conditions in the second video, but the 3rd video did seem to show a road pavement change just before the rear seemed to slide a little.
Again, I have no firm evidence, but 2 of the 3 videos is a show a change in the road surface just before things go screwy.
Unfortunately, if there is a problem between the auto trans control module and the Slingshot's ECU safety systems. it could be a real pain to sort out.
Of course, I could be totally wrong and just rambling...
Good Luck getting everything sorted out. I'm interested because I am considering an auto trans conversion.

That's a good observation! @BKL.. I did notice the rough patch in the highway.. that could have caused me to slide.. there was a bump too so maybe your theory could be right..

In the second video however when I was driving in the back road, I still don't know what made me slide..

i got my cigarette port lighter!!

Quote from lrobbi

Hey brother... wow.., DANM... whatching those video... will give you the pucker factor quick. Wow.

i know right.. this is why i couldn’t make it earlier...

this calls for more mods.. looks like i’ll be busy this winter.
