• 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.

    Where to find the RT-L Air filter - it's not where my Owner's Manual suggests!

    While on a ride yesterday, a rock truck pulled out in front of me from a limestone quarry. He was blowing fine limestone powder out from his truck and I was stuck behind him for far too long. My Spyder was a dusty mess when I got home, so I figured that I'd better check my air filter to see if...

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    Not sure how much help I can be here. I think almost any camera that you find on Amazon or Walmart will work. What attracted me to this one was the screen resolution and the ability to delete the camera grid lines. Hopefully you can expand the image below to see the camera details. At the junk...

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    I've been following these camera threads from the beginning and became more interested when it sounded like any universal backup camera might actually work. A $30 camera from Amazon and a so-so matching 3 pin plug from the local U-Pull-it yard and I am up and running. I routed the pigtaiI and...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    I like what you have done. I have been curious about such a setup all along. I have a couple of questions. I understand from looking at the Amazon camera wiring description the red wire goes to the PK/BG-20 Can-Am connector and the black wire goes to the BK/BG-20 connector. From your description...

    How close are we to getting a 2024 shop manual?

    I also downloaded the V2 of the 2024 service manual from brpmanuals.com. While it looks informative, I suspect that there are some parts that are not up to 2024 specs. Some of the wiring diagrams look like they are pre-2024. I see illustrations of an external AM/FM antenna, and the glove box...

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    I'll be darned! I never thought to try scrolling down on that menu list. Sure enough, there it was. The option to enable the camera. Without a camera picture, the blue screen is a little overwhelming, so I disabled it. Now, to see if I can find that camera wire connector.

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    I find it interesting that you and apparently others are getting a blank backup screen when in reverse. I too have installed the update but do not get the backup screen. Maybe it is a Sea to Sky thing. I have a 2024 RT-L. Or, maybe it is because my January 2024 production date is before they...

    Why do I now have a BRP Connect icon on my Apple HomePlay screen?

    After this showed up, I downloaded the BRP Connect app from the App Store thinking that there might be a connection. It took me down a bit of a rabbit hole and for a while I thought that there might actually be something useful like what I had on my '17 RT, but I ended up at a dead end. It...

    Why do I now have a BRP Connect icon on my Apple HomePlay screen?

    I now have a BRP Connect icon on my Apple CarPlay home screen. It doesn’t appear to do anything, but I am curious as to why it is there. I haven’t tried to delete it yet (don’t know if I even can) though I guess it doesn’t hurt anything being there. The 3.1.0 update seems to be working fine...

    Siri Won't Respond on a 2024 F3 - any thoughts appreciated.

    Make sure that you are using the genuine Apple cable that came with your iPhone. Many aftermarket cables will cause problems.

    Stuck on '24 RT-L 10.25" Navigation applet screen - anyone else had this happen?

    Finishing up a ride yesterday and low on fuel I thought I'd switch from the navigation screen (showing Google Maps) to the Gauges screen to see how many miles to empty it displayed. Nav screen wouldn't budge. No matter how many times I pressed the applet switcher button it wouldn't move. Once I...

    New 10.25 screen update on Oct 7, 2024 - What new features did it add?

    I have a theory about this latest email update notice. I think the update they are referring to is the very same one we all got back in April. That's why we are not seeing an available update when we finally make a wi-fi connection. We already have the update. What they are trying to do is...

    New 10.25 screen update on Oct 7, 2024 - What new features did it add?

    I tried about an hour ago and got the "Your software is up to date" message. I'll try again later

    Installing Rear view/backup camera - what wire & where to trigger it?

    Interesting option. Might be a good choice for a pre-2024 RT that doesn't offer ACP.

    Installing Rear view/backup camera - what wire & where to trigger it?

    Since the new for 2025 rear view camera that will be on the Sea to Sky RT (and Canyon I'm told) will not be available for retrofit to the 2024 RT, I am considering installing my own. I'm not too crazy about disassembling the back half of the Spyder just to access the reverse light wire needed to...
