• 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.

    Genius Maps or Rever?

    There's really no issue with an Apple CarPlay vs Android Auto thing, plenty of vehicles support them both. It's just that its tough to amortize the cost of a head end system with motorcycles. Compromises are made. The market for nav software on can am spyder is miniscule.

    My 2012 RT has developed Windshield Sparkles! Anyone else? Any ideas to fix, or just replace?

    I'm a big fan of Novus plastic cleaner. It works great and the price is hard to beat...

    7K since May...

    Just returned from a trip to Chicago - about 2600 miles round trip. The heat in Chicago is way worse than it is out west here. I'll take our dry heat over humidity any day. This trip puts the odometer just over 7000 miles on my 2018 RTL, which I bought this year in May. So far, the biggest issue...

    Wow, even rural roads aren't safe...

    I just stay away from vehicles with dodgy loads. Either hang *way* back for plenty of reaction time, or, pass 'm up quick.

    New part number for 2018 and up trailer hitch and module

    I had the 2018 factory hitch installed on my 2018 RTL. Took a trip to Chicagoland to pick up a 2014 RT-622 Trailer. They work correctly. I couldn't say though, if a 2014 harness would install on a 2018.

    Craig's List Spyder Scam

    That scam's been going on for sometime. Ebay says if it's not listed on Ebay, they'll have nothing to do with it. I blacklisted one like that on the Albuquerque CL.

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    2018 RTL - No way would I go w/o an extended warranty. Sure, the expense is a gamble, but the peace-of-mind is priceless.

    2012 Spyder RT-S used...now what?

    That's a hex sided bolt with a 1" ball on top. It's compatible with RAM mounts. What you probably want is something like this which includes a double socket arm and a phone holder: https://www.cyclegear.com/accessories/ram-mounts-finger-grip-holder-and-socket-arm Alternatively, you could go...

    Parking

    Motorcycle parking is usually designated to take *advantage* of the smaller spaces motorcycles use. If you take more than one spot - you're basically going against that principle. You might be obeying the letter of the law by being designated a motorcycle when parking in a narrow marked...

    Parking

    That's easy. You're an individual, but you're taking up space for two. You're not that important.:lecturef_smilie:

    Brp came through!!! Bluetooth stuff works now!!!

    The issue is, sometimes, when you have the Sena paired to both your phone AND the bike, the Sena gets confused as to who to give audio priority to. Doing it your way ensures that phone isn't blasting stuff to the headset before the bike gets connected, which will cause the headset to drop audio...

    Brp came through!!! Bluetooth stuff works now!!!

    I'm finding that best way to use the Sena's is to pair them with the Spyder, and the phone to the Spyder. Delete any pairing from the phone to the Sena's.

    Parking

    It's rude to park in a narrow marked motorcycle spot with the Spyder. Taking more than one space shouldn't be done. Use a car spot.

    Avoid the 2019 Spyder RT?

    Erm... I'm just gonna point out here that Genius Maps does *not* require phone service, and GPS is not dependant on it. It uses the *same* mapping data provider as Garmin...

    New Apps in BRP Connect

    The reason you do not pair a headset to the phone is because the Spyder handles phone duties. If you pair the headset to both the Spyder and the phone at the same time, in some cases the headset will get confused as to which phone (Spyder or phone) is the one it should be paying attention to...

    BRP saddlebag liners vs Hopnel's

    Using the Hopnel set. Tremendous value. Used 'em when I had a Goldwing too.

    Limp Mode, 2016 spyder rts se6

    Since it's only one plug out of the three, it was the plug itself that went bad, not the bike. Those fault codes simply saved you from burning out your catalytic converter.
