Hit me up, when you arrive (or arrived?) home

1) Hit me up, when you arrive home.

2) Hit me up, when you arrived home.

I know 1) is correct. But, 2) sounds natural to me.. 2) is totally wrong?

I hope you realize that "hit me up" is slang for "get in contact with me". No comma. Only the first is correct.

No comma. Only the first is correct. 'arrived' is past. You can't command someone to do something in the past. It's totally illogical.

Hit me up when you arrive home.

More idiomatic: ... when you get home.

Hi JIm,

Gee, I haven't heard that use.

I just associate the phrase with asking for money. eg He hit me up for $10.
