• 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.

    Stuck on '24 RT-L 10.25" Navigation applet screen - anyone else had this happen?

    Finishing up a ride yesterday and low on fuel I thought I'd switch from the navigation screen (showing Google Maps) to the Gauges screen to see how many miles to empty it displayed. Nav screen wouldn't budge. No matter how many times I pressed the applet switcher button it wouldn't move. Once I...

    New 10.25 screen update on Oct 7, 2024 - What new features did it add?

    I have a theory about this latest email update notice. I think the update they are referring to is the very same one we all got back in April. That's why we are not seeing an available update when we finally make a wi-fi connection. We already have the update. What they are trying to do is...

    New 10.25 screen update on Oct 7, 2024 - What new features did it add?

    I tried about an hour ago and got the "Your software is up to date" message. I'll try again later

    Installing Rear view/backup camera - what wire & where to trigger it?

    Interesting option. Might be a good choice for a pre-2024 RT that doesn't offer ACP.

    Installing Rear view/backup camera - what wire & where to trigger it?

    Since the new for 2025 rear view camera that will be on the Sea to Sky RT (and Canyon I'm told) will not be available for retrofit to the 2024 RT, I am considering installing my own. I'm not too crazy about disassembling the back half of the Spyder just to access the reverse light wire needed to...

    I've tried to change the time on a 2024 RT but can't - what is the issue?

    No problem. It would be nice if the manual said a lot of things.

    I've tried to change the time on a 2024 RT but can't - what is the issue?

    To change the date and/or time use your finger on the screen to scroll up or down to set. I don't think the buttons on the handlebar will do anything for you in this case,

    I also have a Sena SR-10 that I would like to put to use. We ride with a couple on a HD Triglide with a CB. My Cardo spirit HD headset however has only two bluetooth channels. Channel A is paired to my iPhone and channel B is paired to the Spyder. Both connections necessary for ACP. Does your...

    Yes. It is grayed out until you connect your iPhone and headset. Then it comes alive.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Im curious about the Media app firmware patch that you got. Is this something that I could just ride in to my dealer and ask to have done, or is this something that the dealership would have to request to BRP for a specific download? I have an appointment next Wednesday for my initial 3,000 mile...

    2024 RT new issue - music going silent once the bike starts!!

    I have a "work around" that I hope will get me by until the ACP software gets fixed. I went to Walmart and bought a Dual dash mount 7" touchscreen Apple CarPlay and Android wireless monitor. I know it is not waterproof like the Carpuride, but it was available locally, and so far, it works...

    Interesting responses from BRP. Something else I just found to be interesting. The latest Can-Am Ski-Doo's (snow mobiles) also have the 10.25" screen. All features look the same except it has (or soon will have) built-in navigation. No need to plug in your iPhone, although according to their...

    Non-painted gloss black parts - any tricks or finishes to stop them scratching easily

    I know exactly what you mean about the scratching on those black glossy pieces. Just wiping the dust off was enough to show scratches. I found a product that seems to help. It is meant I'm sure to restore the black appearance to black bumper and side trims on cars and trucks. It is called GX-3...

    BRP needs to develop and publish a detailed owner's manual on how to use everything related to the 10.25 screen. The current owners manual only points out what is there, not how to use anything. They need to take a look at Harley Davidson's Infotainment users manual. My TriGlide was loaded with...

    I've figured out how to turn the radio on and off. Long press the Ride Settings button (the bottom button on the Media Controls Switch on the left handlebar). The radio should stop, and the power button will reappear in the upper right corner of the screen. To resume the radio, either press...

    The Spyder Touch screen only works with "touch screen" gloves and when stopped. When moving you have to use the handlebar controls.

    Our issues are very similar. Maybe its because both of our 24's are Petrol Blue. My wi-fi problems are just like what everyone else is reporting here. Once in a great while it connects quickly, but most of the time it can take six or seven tries to connect. I often just give up and try again...

    I've been following this thread since the beginning. I too have a 2024 RT-L that I pre-ordered last fall largely due to the promises of the 10.25" screen. This is my third RT, and I was tired of the small screen and having to drill down any number of times to get to the item I wanted. ACP was...

    FM radio reception F3L and RT 2018 models.

    My 2018 RT-L had poor reception too. I started looking for a replacement antenna that might improve the signal, but all I could find were "shorties" that actually reduced the range. I had a factory stock Harley Davidson FM antenna from one of my previous Harleys and found that it had the same...
