• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Can the Passenger Back Rest on a 2025 S2S be moved forward a few inches? Not the whole trunk, just the backrest...

    Inside the top case there are two #20 torx screws on the front of the case on either side of the top case removal tool holder. After removing them you should be able to remove the passenger backrest. I'm not sure that you will be accomplish anything though. You may have better luck just adding a...

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    From the wiring schematics, I saw that there is by default a 5 amp fuse in #6 and it is switched. #7 is currently vacant. If you want your USB accessories hot all the time, then pull the fuse out of #6 and put in #7.

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    No, it would be entirely different, and I'm not brave enough to try. The 2024 RT Console Harness schematic shows this:

    I have to wonder if there is also a capped GPS wire behind the Spyder 10.25" screen?

    The Can-Am Ski-Doo has this now. If you go to: https://ski-doo.brp.com/us/en/discover-ski-doo/technologies/10-25-display.html You will get a good idea of what potentially awaits us.

    Returning member after years on a Goldwing Trike - anyone else done this? Thoughts?

    I have owned and ridden (more than) several Harley TriGlides, a 2013 Goldwing Motortrike conversion trike and three Can Ams. A 2011, a 2017, and my present ride, a 2024 RT-L. I can tell you that the Goldwing was a step up from the Harleys in comfort, and the Can Ams were an even larger step up...

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    Just a hunch here, but it will probably arrive via a wifi download and show up in the applets menu labeled something like "Navigation". Spoken turn by turn directions will come through the external speakers. If you are wearing your helmet and your headset is paired with the infotainment system...

    CarPlay Froze, then entire Head Unit Froze Up While Riding, then supposedly updated and rebooted on the Highway - Anyone else had this happen?

    Went for a ride today and the screen froze before I left the driveway. I switched to the FM Radio app like a member suggested and sure enough about 10 miles down the road the screen went dark and started to reboot. ACP returned and worked just fine until I returned home. This machine just...

    Daylight Saving Time Change done successfully, but the date is wrong & no way I can see to correct it?! Any ideas?

    Good idea. I had deleted my wifi in an effort to minimize Apple CarPlay disruptions. I'll give this a try. Well, I gave the wifi thing a try and it didn't work. What did work though, was switching to the FM Radio on the 10.25" screen. Correct date and exact time immediately displayed. There...

    Daylight Saving Time Change done successfully, but the date is wrong & no way I can see to correct it?! Any ideas?

    I did. I see you ride a 2019 F3. Totally different machines. The 2024 owners manual only says where to find the date/time function. It doesn't say how. Firmware update 4.1 changed everything. It used to be simple to adjust the date and time down to the minute. That is all gone now. All you can...

    2024 RTL. Date/Time options are extremely limited. You can only choose 12/24 hr format and time zone. That's it.

    Daylight Saving Time Change done successfully, but the date is wrong & no way I can see to correct it?! Any ideas?

    Something interesting I discovered today when I went to change my clock setting. I'm well versed on the time zone thing and how you probably won't get an exact time reading. What surprised me though was the date. It tells me that is October 16. My calendar says November 1. I tried scrolling...

    You've just shown us that life can be so much simpler. ;)

    CarPlay Froze, then entire Head Unit Froze Up While Riding, then supposedly updated and rebooted on the Highway - Anyone else had this happen?

    A couple of different sequences cited here for getting Apple CarPlay up and running. I've used them both with generally good results. Still an occasional freeze up though. I have not read about anyone's sequence for starting back up after say, a stop for gas or donuts and coffee. Do you turn...
