• 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.

    Has anyone tried the new iOS 26 on the Apple CarPlay of their Spyder?

    I have an iPhone 16e with iOS 26.0.1 and it seems to work fine.

    Can this panel be replaced?

    You can still find parts for the 2023. There are a number of online parts sites where you can find prices. The panel next to the windshield controls is fairly easy to replace, although it's a bit tedious to remove as you need to disassemble several other panels first. I've removed that panel on...

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    Right Fuse Box diagram from page 158 of the 2024 Spyder RT Operator's Guide: And yes, the table below that image shows #6 as a GPS_Acc 5 A and #7 as not used. But the image shows #6 as being empty. I installed the GPS wiring shortly after buying my Spyder. But that was about 20 months ago...

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    I just took a look at the 2025 Spyder RT Operator's Guide, and it shows the same GPS_Acc fuse location.

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    And my 2024 Spyder RT Operator's Guide shows Fuse #6 in the right fuse box as "GPS_Acc". I believe it came with no fuse installed in that location. Because CAN-AM fumbled around before getting Apple CarPlay to work correctly, I ended up buying a Garmin Zumo XT GPS and mounting it to my...

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    Well, you can't use the installation instructions to find out, since the Spyder doesn't come apart the same way as a Ski-doo does.

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    You can download the BRP Go! app now and see if you like the way it does route planning. Then if they really do start supporting BRP Go! on the Spyder, you can switch once the update to the Spyder has been installed.

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    I've switched to using the Google Maps application on my desktop computer (not the Google Maps website). The interface is pretty good, and allows you to drag and drop your route, as long as you set destination points along the route so it doesn't try to "optimize" the route once you send it to...

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    There's a "how to use your GPS" link on that page too: https://ski-doo.brp.com/us/en/owner-zone/how-to/riding-tips/using-built-in-gps.html So some 2025 and 2026 Ski-Doos have a GPS a built in GPS module, which Spyders do not have. If you have a 2023 or 2024 Ski-Doo, you can purchase the GPS...

    Is an OEM backrest the best on a 2020 RT Limited

    I couldn't find a separate installation kit. I did find the installation instructions https://brp.my.salesforce-sites.com/ISPublicArticleInfo/apex/BWLightningViewerWithTranslate?#id=kA00c000000PUOiCAO&googtrans(en|en_US) Which has a list of the parts: ITEM DESCRIPTION Part number QTY...

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    Interesting. It does say "...no headset required." so I'm wondering how the "advanced navigation" is going to work as far as telling you when to turn? Let's hope it doesn't mess up the Apple CarPlay support, as mine has been working great since the BRP Connect 4.1 update.

    It does look like a CAN-AM website, but without the actual URL, it could also be something someone created. We'll know for a sure in a few months. :D

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    Since that picture doesn't have a URL I have serious doubts that it is real. BRP GO! only works on the 7.8" display on earlier models and on the 10.25" display of the electric motorcycles. It also works with their snowmobile and seadoo watercraft. Apple CarPlay is what works with the 10.25"...

    Buying new 2023 RTL from dealer… any concerns from it sitting that long?

    That's what the Operator's Guide says, to replace the brake fluid every two years, regardless of mileage.

    Looking for a good GPS - Touring, no off road. Considering Garmin Zumo XT - thoughts?

    I opened the Google Maps on my computer, and told it to plot a route to a destination that was located just off Interstate 40 near where I live. The default route it plotted was the fastest route from my home to I-40, and then I-40 to the destination. So I dragged and dropped a twistier route...

    Does anyone have a Wiring Schematic for a 2023 RTL?

    You bought the Repair and Maintenance manual? https://brpmanuals.com/product-category/rykers-spyders/ I don't have a copy, as I don't work on my Spyder, so I'm not familiar with the level of detail.

    Any suggestions on which Aftermarket amplifier, speakers, and install location will work on my 2017 RT?

    How about the side storage compartments?

    Has anyone heard any rumors about a new 1600 engine for 2027 Spyders?

    You're going to need a bigger fuel tank! :p
