• 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.

    Using maps on cell phone

    You need to put Google maps into driving mode. Then the screen will not time out. Also you can create a driving icon so it starts directly in driving mode. Sorry it's been so long ago I don't remember how I did that. I have mostly switched to Waze now.

    Spare key storage.

    The Spyder key does not have a battery in it. So the range is extremely limited. I tested my 2013 ST and found the range is about 1.5 inches max. I assume yours will be the same. The chip is different but the technology is the same.

    Bought a Primo 6x12 trailer today.

    Wow that's a lot of straps. I only strap down the front wheels with straps, E-tracks and E-chocks. As my picture in my previous post shows. I do nothing for the rear wheel. It won't move. But whatever makes you feel secure.

    Recall for the DPS

    I am assuming that you mean by the word recall is a safety recall ordered by the governing body of your country. So for you that would be NHTSA. In that case. No it will not have expired. It never expires is my understanding. If the DPS has been replaced already under the recall, there will be...

    Any Adapters - 4 pin square to 4 pin flat for trailer hitch?

    Buying the adapter from Lamont is a good option. Does not alter the trailer or Spyder. So the trailer can be towed by any other vehicle with a flat 4 plug. Cutting the flat 4 in half should work but limits what you can tow with. I have in seen in auto parts stores a 1 foot long extension cable...

    Info on redesigned Spyder white front drive sprocket?

    I am not sure where a lot of folks got the idea that the white painted pulley has anything to do with stopping the fretting of the splines. No where that I have seen anything that says that. I hear said, but have not seen, there is a TSB that the white painted stops the whistling noise that is...

    Red dust of death on front sprocket

    Which model years are affected by these faulty front sprockets? All. The sprockets are not faulty. Is it only the 1330 engine that is affected? No. Was a big topic on SpyderLovers in 2011 when I joined. The 1330 engine did not exists yet. Is it primarily the F3 engines that are affected, and...

    Audio volume control on F3-limited - why isn't it as loud on manual as on auto?

    I have never noticed before but you are correct. The max volume is a lot lower in manual then when the auto volume is set to high, which is my normal setting. Must be just the nature of the beast. This may explain why so many complain that they cannot get enough volume and I have not experience...

    3M adhesive question

    I have not had much luck reusing the adhesive strip after it has been removed or come loose. It takes a little bit of work but I remove the tape and replace with new adhesive foam trim tape. Available from any auto parts store or Amazon.

    UPDATE! Amplifier parasitic battery drain 2021 S2S - STILL UNRESOLVED!

    Installing an aftermarket amp should not be hard to do. Just need an amp with a 4 channel input with a 6 channel output. That is to use the existing speakers or similar replacements.
