I've had ongoing issues with carplay integration that seems to be common. It got to the point I handlebar mounted my phone and ran the cable to the glovebox so that if the connection died then I could still use the phone screen for navigation. I recently switched to android and im just going to use the phone for full time navigation (unless it's too hot out then ill use the ride command navigation). The frustration of linking phone and bike is just not really worth it in my opinion. Bluetooth has been pretty solid but carplay was so disappointing.

One thing that's pausing me from buying a motorcycle is that I want Android Auto integrated. Get it together Polaris, you're losing sales!

If the android auto connection stability and gps issues are as bad as apple carplay you will be disappointed after you buy the bike. I really do like the bike but ride command is its Achilles heel.

I agree! It's ridiculous they don't have android auto. I have inquiried many times and keep getting the same response. They are working on it. Everyone does not prefer or use iphones! The navigation on ride command is useless. Has hardly no functionality except put in the address. It is a shame we buy $30-$50 bikes from them and they can't make progress on new features and listen to be our needs.

Polaris is really starting to irritate me on many levels.

This might not be the answer you want to hear. Personally I have pretty much stopped buying products for features that they don't have at the time of purchase and may or may not get the feature down the line. I've been frustrated multiple times over features/updates that were supposed to come but never materialized. Now I've changed my expectations and I don't get annoyed when a feature never happens or takes a very long time.

The carplay integration is so bad on my bike I stopped using it. I handlebar mounted my phone and use it for navigation. You can do that for any brand phone and just Bluetooth to the bike. You also get the benefit of having your bike screen to use for anything but navigation because your phone is navigating. Also the maps on your phone are more up to date. My base qualifications for vehicles are that it has Bluetooth and charges the phone and I just expect I'll be handlebar/dash mounting the phone. Just wanted to throw out another perspective. Spend the money to get a quad lock system with vibration dampener and download the android auto app then its at least a similar experience to android auto on the bike.
