• 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.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    It came via e-mail. Asked about stuff like being able to track others in a group ride on the map, being able to plot your route in advance, etc. I said those are all well and good, but you can't even get ACP working. Let's not put the cart before the horse here. Concentrate on getting ACP out...

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Just got a survey from BRP about features they could include on the bike/digital dash. In the comments I said I just want the ACP I paid for, the rest of these things are superfluous. Just give me what I already paid for and you can add other stuff later.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    It was for me. 2.1.1 was the version that enabled ACP. Later that day when I checked for updates again, 2.1.0 was listed as an "update" but it did not call out ACP as a feature so I presume this is the same firmware as the bike shipped with. Fortunately I took pictures during this ordeal :)...

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Weird. It would have had to connect to WiFi somehow even if the push was set to not require your interaction. Mine just said "Update Available" and listed 2.1.0 but I had the choice to install it or not at the time. Maybe later they made it mandatory and not skippable.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    I was one of the few that actually got the ACP update in April. It worked fine for the limited time I had it. It CAN work. It's more than a mockup. When they pulled the update and rolled it back, I debated on whether I should do that or not. I figured that they must have pulled it for a reason...

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    To anyone who has actually claimed one of the "gifts" from the letter - Do they make you sign anything at time of redemption, such as a legal disclaimer that in exchange for accepting this offer you give up certain other legal rights perhaps? Just curious if there's more to this than meets the eye.

    Which is why I paid the extra dollarydoos for a 2024! I just moved across the country so I really wanted to have the navigation functionality provided by ACP. As it is now, I have to let Apple or Google maps read me the instructions over the speakers or headset, which is better than nothing...

    It was released briefly for a few hours in early April. I happened to actually catch it and install it, seemed to work fine. Then they pulled it and rolled back to the initial firmware release which of course removed it again. I debated on whether to accept the rollback or not, but also figured...

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Yeah got mine today too. Supposed to have gotten 1 year extra for pre-ordering, and I bought 2 more so I should have 5 years coverage now. Will see if I can add a 6th year, if not find some SWAG to purchase for $500. Be more attractive for resale with 6 year extended warranty though :)

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    I've been riding mine as well, not 9,300 miles worth though. The bike runs fine, but every time I ride it I am reminded of how BRP suckered me into paying for a 2024 with the promise of ACP, when I could have bought a leftover 2023 for thousands less. And now I don't even have the one feature I...

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    If anyone actually takes them up on this offer, be curious to see what the fine print says. I'm guessing they are having you sign away something in order to get the BEST warranty or the $500 credit. Not going to say what that something is, but you can use your imagination :) I am pretty much...

    It does cost them royalties though to provide you the service. I too only do the $6/month plan as well :)

    I think I paid a little over $1000 for a 2 year BEST extension so $500/year is about right. And I agree the fine print needs to be gone over with a microscope before you sign or accept the offer. I'm probably reading too much into it but since they are offering $500 now for the "inconvenience"...

    Interesting. I was supposed to get 1 year extra BEST coverage for pre-ordering, and I bought 2 years at the dealer for what I think should be a total of 5. Not sure if I could stack this extra year on or not? I haven't heard anything from them about this and I have been contacting them on a...

    The version that got released in April worked fine on mine while I had it. It's been demoed working for the last 9 months. There is no licensing charge for vendors to support ACP. ACP is basically a remote display for your phone, it can't be that complicated. Not sure if BRP or their OEM head...

    Yes the message got deleted from the Apple forum almost immediately. I get it, they are there to support Apple Products and CarPlay, not necessarily the lack of an OEM being utterly incompetent and being unable to provide ACP. That's not really their problem.

    A user posted this on the Apple forums about a recent call with BRP: I’ve been calling BRP and today the lady told me she didn’t know when or IF it would be available this year. She said there’s too many bugs in the software So as this is hearsay and people get different answers from BRP all...

    Safety Message no longer forces delay after First Service - any opinions?

    My 2024, turn key, roll throttle forward, release throttle, then hit start. That's how I've been doing it all along, no waiting for message to show up or disappear.

    There's tons of them. Just Google up "touch screen motorcycle gloves" and you'll find them. :)

    It does not work with traditional gloves on. Perhaps the demo guy was using gloves that have the material over the tip of your index finger to let touch screens work through them? I may need to order some myself now that you brought this up :)
