• 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.

    2012 RT Limited Radio Question

    The audio output that the SM10 uses is fixed and can only be muted. Except the gps can override the mute. The volume is not adjustable from the handlebar controls or menu setting. A general complaint is the volume from the SM10 is not high enough. That is fixed by using the volume doubler...

    2012 RT Limited Radio Question

    The second connector on the radio is for the SM10. Fixed audio output and 12V from the radio. That connector is also used for CB radio for sure and I think for XM radio as well. So it depends on which optional module(s) you have, if any, if you want to disconnect it. So you want to move the...

    What does this orange wire go to?

    That looks like a Tekonsha module. White wire is ground and the black wire needs constant 12V. By your description the orange wire is connected to the module black wire. So my guess is you need 12V power. You did not share what kink of Spyder you have. That makes a difference since not all...

    What does this orange wire go to?

    If you got that from Pierre. Then that is new. He did not have trailer harnesses with that style of converter module. That brand of module in your picture I think is isolated is power isolated. That would be much better then what he was using. If so that module will need dedicated power and...

    Fault code - B2D3D or B2030 - any ideas??

    The "!" is for non critical faults. Used instead of the check engine for everything in older models. The closest code I could find is B2D30. May I suggest the next time, if it happens again. Take a picture.

    Heads up to UK f3 owners

    When I worked in the OE lighting industry in the late 90s. It was legal to have a flat horizon cut off line low beam for all of Europe including the UK. Not sure if that has changed. Did not keep up. So when I look at the parts fiche. I assumed with the description for Europe and no mention of...

    Heads up to UK f3 owners

    You did not tell us what year your F3 is and that made it harder to do some research. I made a guess that it is a 2016 or 17. If so the low beam is from the aux light positions. Then it should be fitted with European flat beam pattern. Similar to the North American fog light pattern except with...

    shuddering start off

    I had to look it up on your profile that you have a 2013 ST. So yes it will shudder on first take off of the day. Maybe even the second or third depending on the distance driven. This is normal and causes no harm. This feature started in the 2013 model year because of the long life clutch...

    Adding a 7-pin din port where gas or temp gauge is

    Why not buy a BT receiver dongle. I think Lamont sells them. But not hard to find and not expensive. Plug the 3.5 mm stereo cable into it. In the trunk. Pair the phone with the dongle. You then can put the phone wherever you want and no wiring to do.

    F3L Bad FM Reception

    I am at 20.8. That is the latest and greatest for 2018 model. Installed it myself because I have BUDS2. Each update brought lots of improvements but nothing to do with the FM reception.

    F3L Bad FM Reception

    From new my 2018 F3L had terrible FM reception. I took off the antenna and found the normal thread locker on the threads. Cleaned all that off the antenna and chased the mount threads. There was no improvement. There was some plastic mold flash on the antenna mating surface of the mount. Cut...

    2010 SE5 sometimes won't select a gear??

    Step one. Check your oil level. Low oil level will cause random shift issues. Also the oil level must be checked when hot. If not you may over fill it. Follow the procedure in your owners manual.

    2020 RT SiriusXM capable?

    I am streaming using my phone and the app. Through the BT connection to the dash. It works well but can cut out if you lose cell service in remote areas. The song title and artist show on the right side of the screen. There is some control over the app from the Spyder joystick. I have not...
