The SS-1824 is the odd one out in Soundstream's motorcycle line — it is built for the 2018-2024 Polaris Slingshot, not a Harley. It replaces the factory head unit and fits the Slingshot dash using OEM mounting hardware, with trim panels included for both the '18-'19 and '20-'24 model years, and it retains the OEM rear view camera. The screen is a 7in QLCD rated at 1000 NIT.
Wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are both native to the unit. A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirCast screen mirroring, which the head unit does not do on its own, and a Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps. A bypass adaptor does not apply to an aftermarket head unit.
What HogPlay adds to your SS-1824
Your SS-1824 already does wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, so you don't need us for that. What it can't do is stream: a HogPlay Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube and other apps straight to the screen that's already on your bike.
A USB Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirCast screen mirroring — putting your phone's actual screen on the dash, which no head unit does on its own.
A bypass adaptor doesn't apply to a SoundStream unit: a bypass unlocks a factory CarPlay radio, and yours has already replaced it.
What each part does
USB Piglets
A USB Piglet plugs into the head unit's USB port and adds Mirror Link and AirCast screen mirroring — mirroring your phone's actual screen to the dash, which no head unit does on its own.
Media Boxes
A Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps to the SS-1824, running them on the screen you already have.
Why there's no bypass adaptor here
A bypass adaptor unlocks a factory CarPlay head unit. Once a SoundStream SS-1824 is installed there's no factory radio left to unlock — the SS-1824 already does CarPlay itself. What HogPlay adds on top is screen mirroring and streaming, not activation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the SoundStream SS-1824?
The SoundStream SS-1824 is a Reserve-line, plug-and-play head unit built specifically for the 2018–2024 Polaris Slingshot — a 7″ optically bonded QLCD display at 1000 NIT running IPX5-rated for open-air driving.
Does the SS-1824 fit my Slingshot?
Yes — the SS-1824 is engineered for every 2018–2024 Polaris Slingshot, with trim panels for both the ‘18–‘19 dash and the ‘20–‘24 dash included in the box, so you get an OEM-style fit no matter which era you’re running.
Is this a Harley-Davidson radio?
No — the SS-1824 is built exclusively for the Polaris Slingshot, replacing the factory Slingshot head unit; if you’re riding a Harley, check our Harley touring and softail radio pages instead.
Does the SS-1824 support Apple CarPlay?
Yes — the SS-1824 has native wireless Apple CarPlay with Siri Eyes Free built right in, so you connect your iPhone and go without any bypass module or extra hardware.
Does the SS-1824 support Android Auto?
Yes — the SS-1824 has native wireless Android Auto with Google Assistant on board, giving Android riders the same plug-and-play projection experience as CarPlay users get.
Do I need a bypass module for CarPlay or Android Auto on this unit?
No bypass is needed — the SS-1824 is an aftermarket head unit that fully replaces your factory Slingshot radio, and wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are native to the unit itself.
What does a HogPlay Piglet add to the SS-1824?
A HogPlay Piglet layers on Mirror Link and AirCast/AirPlay screen mirroring, letting you throw additional content to the 7″ display beyond what CarPlay and Android Auto project natively.
What does a HogPlay Media Box add to the SS-1824?
A HogPlay Media Box unlocks Netflix, YouTube, and other streaming apps plus SD card and USB media playback directly on the SS-1824’s screen.
More questions (12)
Do I need a Piglet or Media Box to use CarPlay and Android Auto?
No — wireless CarPlay and Android Auto work natively on the SS-1824 out of the box; a Piglet or Media Box is only for riders who also want mirroring or streaming apps on top of that.
Does the SS-1824 keep my factory rear-view camera?
Yes — the SS-1824 retains your OEM rear-view camera, so backup visibility carries straight over from the factory setup with no separate camera purchase required.
Will I keep my steering-wheel controls?
Yes — the SS-1824 ships with a steering-wheel control module, so your factory steering-wheel buttons keep working for volume, track, and calls after the swap.
Is the SS-1824 a plug-and-play install?
Yes — the SS-1824 uses a plug-and-play harness with OEM mounting hardware, and both ‘18–‘19 and ‘20–‘24 trim panels are included so the finished install looks factory in either dash generation.
What size is the SS-1824 screen?
The SS-1824 runs a 7″ optically bonded QLCD display at 1000 NIT of brightness, so the screen stays readable even in direct Slingshot-cockpit sunlight.
Is the SS-1824 weatherproof for an open-cockpit ride?
Yes — the SS-1824 carries an IPX5 rating, built to stand up to the splash, mist, and open-air exposure that comes with Slingshot driving.
What kind of amp does the SS-1824 have?
The SS-1824 runs a 4-channel Class A/B amp that’s 2-ohm stable, backed by 5V RCA outputs front, rear, and sub so you can build out a serious Slingshot audio system.
Does the SS-1824 have EQ and crossover tuning?
Yes — you get a 16-band EQ with 12dB active crossovers, plus low-pass and subsonic filtering, so you can dial in the sound stage to your speakers and sub.
How does the SS-1824 compare to the factory Slingshot Ride Command unit?
The SS-1824 is the aftermarket swap for the factory Ride Command head unit — you get native wireless CarPlay and Android Auto plus a stronger 4-channel amp and full EQ control that the factory unit doesn’t offer.
Why upgrade from the factory Slingshot radio to the SS-1824?
If your factory Ride Command unit lacks wireless phone projection or the audio power you want, the SS-1824 drops in as a direct aftermarket replacement with native CarPlay and Android Auto built in from the start.
Who is the SS-1824 built for?
Slingshot owners who want wireless CarPlay or Android Auto without a bypass, plus stronger amplified sound for highway runs and weekend cruises — the SS-1824 covers both in one install.
