• 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 Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    So I used the Contact Us form on my dealer's website to contact the Service department. I got a call from them today, and had a really interesting, but not completely rewarding conversation with them. We talked in detail about what was happening, and that I was concerned about there being a...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    The forecast is for rain and thunderstorms here tomorrow (Tuesday), so I won't be able to try riding with bluetooth off on the phone until Wednesday.

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    Interesting thought about Bluetooth being off on the iPhone. But if you do that, then you can't make or receive phone calls using the headset. I don't think the gear has anything to do with, as I was riding along the freeway at 65 MPH when it suddenly connected. And then disconnected a couple...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    Well, here's an update...such as it is. Someone at CAN-AM forwarded my complaint to the BRP Go team. The BRP Go team member was apologetic, and agreed that it could be a wiring problem on the Spyder, but that they weren't equipped to help with remotely diagnosing something like that. They also...

    Need some clarification on using Bluetooth Speakers & Headset for Phone Calls on my 2024+ RT

    I'm glad you got it to work.

    Any suggestions on a good riding camera - need one, after a road rage incident!

    The mount I use has "XIT" on the base, and has a lever you press down to create the suction, so it's not a "lick and stick" type mount. I'll make sure the mounting surface and suction cup are clean to avoid any excitement. :p

    Any suggestions on a good riding camera - need one, after a road rage incident!

    There are several suction cup mounts for GoPro cameras. I've tested mine mounted to the black cowl behind the windshield, although I haven't used it while riding yet. I've added the GoPro USB pass through door over the battery, so it can be plugged into a USB power source on your bike, so you...

    Have you experienced any Road rage incidents?

    I've had a couple of cars move into my lane without a lot of clearance, but no road rage incidents.

    Solved - Frunk switch not opening - will replacing the switch help?

    Is it possible that vibration during riding caused it to work loose?

    Need some clarification on using Bluetooth Speakers & Headset for Phone Calls on my 2024+ RT

    I have a 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky and use a SENA 3S Plus headset in my helmet. It has the ability to Bluetooth pair with three different devices: two cell phones and a GPS device. I went to the SENA website and found the User Guide for your 50R headset and it also supports being paired to two...

    Any Chicago area dealers who will mount car tire?

    I had a similar problem when I owned a Honda N600 sedan. The original tires were 145R10, and when I needed replacements the only tires in that size I could find were for a trailer, not a passenger vehicle. So I bought four tires and had them delivered to my home. I put the N600 up on jack...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    So I did not receive an email response, or even a confirmation that they had received the email with the VIN number that they had said was necessary to proceed. So I called the 1-888-272-9222 phone number that was in the email for BRP Customer Service. The person I spoke too spent more time...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    When I bought my Spyder RT about a year ago they still hadn't delivered a working version of Apple Carplay. So I bought a Garmin Zumo XT motorcycle GPS, and an Arkon mount for the handlebars. When Carplay was released I removed the Arkon mount and put the Garmin Zumo XT back in it's box. I've...

    Trip, Maine to Yellowstone

    When you mentioned the Tetons my first thought was "Aren't they called the Grand Tetons?" And after some time with Google, the answer is yes and no. The mountain range is called the Tetons. And the highest peak is Grand Teton (no 's'). And there is a Grand Teton National Park (also no 's')...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    So I opened a case with BRP about my Apple Carplay problems. I got a nice "sorry to hear about your problems" response email, asking for the VIN number so they can "proceed with your inquiry." I sent them the VIN about Noon local time, and it's now 7pm here. No response yet. They also said...

    2024 S2S won't go into Reverse gear - anyone else? What's the fix?

    Have you ever been able to get it into reverse, or is it just suddenly not wanting to go into reverse?

    Welcome, SlashRocket

    Welcome. It looks just like my 2024 S2S.

    What's your helmet of choice? Show us??

    Interesting idea, and interesting helmets. I'd post a picture, but my helmet is a boring HJC C91 modular helmet in "Semi Flat Pearl White". The only way it could be more boring is if it were the "Semi Flat Black" version of the C91.

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    I know it's the CAN-AM software for Apple Carplay that is the problem. I use the same iPhone with an Apple cable in my 2023 Honda Ridgeline, and it works every time without a problem.

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    And my mind went directly to Battlestar Galactica, and the slang term used to describe the Cylons: Toaster https://en.battlestarwikiclone.org/wiki/Toaster
