Must be nice. mine doesn't stock anything at all ever. lol. Neither does the Polaris dealer. got to order everything.
I could not doo it without the dongle. My stock battery was also toast after one year. Just replaced it.
Wonderful lol... thanks. battery **** the bed and a dongle I can't buy. ( I ordered one )
Hook to a battery tender , let it get a full charge,have a solid WiFi connection,once it starts loading watch the screen,it will tell you in 3 seconds to shutdown ,just touch the screen and it will keep going,may have to do this a few times.Turn off the hand warmers on display before trying to load GPS.Make sure headlight is on low ,it will go out after a little bit
Doo has not made it easy to love the 10.25 screen. That's for sure!
Well it is plugged into a tender. this one.. which is saying its in "save" mode for the last hour. if I turn the dash on it turns itself off in like less than 30 seconds.. What now?
I guess my battery is jut shot. even on the tender? whats a good replacement batt?

I have 2 sleds with the big screen. I got one updated after several tries. It is very frustrating having less than 3 seconds to tap the screen. If you miss it, you have to start over. Would be great to have the timeout at least 30 seconds.
So stand right next to it for 30 minutes or so, and don't get distracted.
The second sled is proving impossibile. It says the latest 3.0.1 is installed..., but also says it needs to install the same version. I go through the process, downloads the same software again, it reboots, but it always says I need to update. Also, my battery is on a charger and at 100% and it will usually say "not enough voltage", when it is over 14 volts.

No clue how big the software update is, or the size of the map downloads.
The download is dependent on the speed of your network.
Push the shot button, if you didn’t start the sled, don’t tap the screen, you will have to stare at the screen or you will miss the screen shutdown warning.

Finally downloaded, then installed, then it said it was restarting. been stuck on a fully lit screen with nothing on it for 20 minutes. um... lol
I have not once ever seen such a thing. all last season ( 2024 lynx shredder RE )
Nevermind, it finally came back to life and I have the "maps" avail for download now in the dash.......... why is this SOOOOOOOOOOO slow... do not blame it on my internet or wifi.. I parked my truck 20 feet from the room in my house that has the wifi router. I get 300mbps over wifi to my phone. the sled must be getting like 1mbps.

There is a small warning, upper right, that gives you a very fast 3 second countdown before shutting down. I swear it is less than 3 seconds, and if you blink, you will miss it.

Very true. The sled I got working I put a new battery in. The one that is having issues has a 1 year old battery. Maybe that is the issue.
Even with a large 10A battery charger on it, 100% green, still will say "not enough voltage".
