• 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.

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    Rever is a good app/system, I looked closely at it and really liked it. It is not Android Auto compatible though, so that was a deal breaker (works with Carplay though as of a year or 2 ago). Rever also has a decent route library "built in". The MyRoute App I mentioned has some shared as...

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    You can save the route in a variety of formats including multiple GPX, KML, even Harley Boom format. When I use maps, I then email the GPX file to myself (using the "save" then "Email route" option), and just open it from the email (which opens maps on my phone). You do have limits of the...

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    I use one of two ways. 1. Use Routelab (selection on screen), Create a scenic route via adding a start and end point. Then tell it to generate a route. Will likely come back with a couple of options. Pick the one you want. You will see the route on the map, and towards the top right "Edit...

    Can I get GPS on my 2024 S2S 10.25" screen; or GPS Software/Hardware, Apples to Oranges, or maybe not...

    Agree Google maps and Apple maps are limited (but google can be forced on limited routes) and I gave up on them. But there are apps out there do do a great job and have phone apps. I mentioned MyRoute in earlier reply to you, have done a few routes, and been very happy. Main thing, the route...

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    Thanks, excellent info. I am considering hard wiring, so if I do so, I will work an on/off switch to the equation so I can power down if needed. May even try it in the trunk, but think the USB cable length might cause timing issues. Great info on the Samsung. Some older phones struggle with AA...

    Not trying to argue or sell anything, but many don't realize that a phone is a higher capability than the Garmin. I was a Garmin user since the earliest days, but - anything Garmin does, I can do with a good phone, only better, as Garmin has fallen a little behind. I just know there has been...

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    Thanks for the great write up, and all your work on this. I do have a couple of questions. 1. It looks like the box is powered by USB, so any "high power" USB port (USB 3 or higher) should work, correct? I ask in case I want to add some USB ports anyway and wanted to try a different cable that...

    Can I get GPS on my 2024 S2S 10.25" screen; or GPS Software/Hardware, Apples to Oranges, or maybe not...

    Some/many navigation apps allow you to download maps so that navigation works without cell phone service. If you have maps downloaded and navigation stops, the issue is loss of GPS signals vice cell signals. Can happen in mountains etc even with Garmin. A common misconception is that phones...

    Can I get GPS on my 2024 S2S 10.25" screen; or GPS Software/Hardware, Apples to Oranges, or maybe not...

    Thanks, sounds like they are bringing BRP Go to the Spyders... Hopefully better than the old BRP Go. I wish they would do Android Auto or better let system work with the adapters that are out there.

    What switch fits the extra rocker switch slot on 2024's?

    As an idea, if you get a charge only cable or data blocking cable it should fix the issue with the bike messing with your bluetooth connection. Sorry, can't help with the USB for the Carling switch blank.

    Anyone found a Wireless Car Play/Android Auto Adapter that works with 2024 and up Spyders?

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Which dongle are you using? When you think it is there/close, can you start a new thread or similar so that it is easy to catch? I don't always read all of this thread. I have a Carpuride now, but would be interested in comparing to the native bike display

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    I watched 4 of his videos where he talked about the issue in researching, and still could not find the most detailed one I remember. That said, I thought the Chat GPT was a fair summary of everything he said in Chat's words. I do not believe that Smoak intended to mislead people, he's been...
