• 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.

    USB in the dash is a data connection, not intended for phone charging. Its actually low enough power that it will not charge many newer phones. If you need a charging port, suggest adding one. Was never the OEM port's intended use. If you connect Bluetooth first and then plug in the phone...

    1) Phone and headset should be on and ready to accept bluetooth handshake when your start the bike. Upon startup is the only time the instrument cluster will scan for bluetooth devices. Will not scan for phone if headset is not found first. 2) Using bluetooth for music does not require a USB...

    What connection headaches are you having, perhaps others here can help. I have found the startup sequence critical but once connected it seems to work just fine. Using the 'correct' startup sequence it connects every time I start the bike like clockwork. Should not be this critical but it is for...

    What bugs are you seeing with CarPlay? I will admit I just started using the function a few weeks ago when I finally got my hands on an Android Auto adaptor that works with the Spyder but I have not really seen that many problems with it. Well, 2 issues so far, it only attempts handshaking...

    How do I control the FM Radio on the 2024 RTL?

    Interesting, now I need to go out in the garage and play with my FM radio. Did not know BRP added digital HD radio to the Spyders. A significant upgrade from the very poor FM radio tuners in the 23 and prior bikes. Up until now, I have not even tried the FM radio.

    And as I previously posted, the information about BRP GO no longer being part of the Spyder systems is also on the BRP Web site. I HAVE spoken with BRP on this subject. Call BRP yourself and ask. BRP GO is gone (good riddance) from the Spyder line and replaced with Apple CarPlay. Replaced...

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    Thanks, think I understand better. The routes run in a new navigation app on the phone, not Google Maps. Makes sense. I need to give it a try. I will sign up for a trial account and play with it a bit.

    So once you create the route, does it send it to Google Maps on your phone? IE how do you use the route while on the bike? Sorry for so many questions but the web site really gives very little information on how it works or what it can do. Just selling subscriptions.

    No, drag n drop creates shaping point. Adding waypoints does not work either. First, you are limited to 10 including start and end points. next it creates a new route between each 2 points so it does not navigate through to the actual destination, just to the first waypoint then you have to...

    I am giving My Route Online a try but cannot figure out how to manipulate the route to use the roads I want. Does not seem to allow drag n drop or other editing of the route. I am trying to recreate a known route we recently used and see how it transfers to Google Maps in android.

    Create a route on google maps on the desktop. Once it has the route plotted, edit the roads used to your liking. Now send the route to your phone. The transferred route only brings the destinations across, not the route so your edits and the roads you selected are gone. Transferring to a...

    Thanks for trying and that is the way it SHOULD work. But it does not. Sending to my phone, it only gets the destinations, not the route edits. IE it replots the route without the edits going back to the fastest route to the destination. Just tried it again to be sure if some update had...

    Yes, any usb power source will work as long as its powered BEFORE the instrument cluster is booted up. IE if it powers up with the key, this solution will not connect as the the Binize box will not have time to boot up and respond to the cluster handshake when asked. It just does not boot up...

    For motorcycle use there are still a few areas where Garmin does things a phone cannot. One of which is ROUTES. Google maps, under both Apple and Android does NOT support routes. Only destinations for which it calculates routes on the fly. Google maps in the cloud and presented on a browser DOES...

    10 year parts law - will parts for the 1330 engine/trans still be available into 2036?

    You do not have to work by paint codes. It's easier but not the only way. GOOD body shops have optical paint scanners that can auto mix to match a color. That is how my Spyder ended up Harley Blue Burst to match my Wife's Street Glide.
